How much did you pay for the clutch?

Here's another email from Brent... (nengun)

Regards the ORC clutch. In order to change from push to pull you have to add converter kit and it is around 24,000 yen ( comes with a total of 11 parts )

Total ORC twin plate 114,000 Yen for the clutch

24,000 Yen for the clutch kit

+ 35,400 for shipping

I was tossing up between the OS Giken twin plate or the nismo G-max twin plate for my GTR and decided that due to having to convert the clutch type and also paying the bit more I'd go with the Nismo. I have tried to drive a car with a OS Giken twin (pull type) and the main difference I found was that the OS was a LOT harder to push in. Apart from this the two clutches engaged really quickly when u lift up. I think it's probably the pull mechanism that has something to do with this because I've driven a 33 GTS-T with a Nismo Gmax twin (push type) and although it wasn't as obvious as the OS Giken it was still harder to push in....

I found that after about 2/3 weeks of driving the nismo twin its easy to get used it. It rattles a bit and in fact gets more rattly the more it's driven but it doesn't really bother me..... sometimes I get some weird looks when I'm moving slowly to park the car and its so loud...

All up and fitted around $2000. That extra conversion kit Brent is talking about can be bought directly from Nissan Australia. That's where I got mine from, total cost was $350.

Push type will always feel heavier

meshmesh - 2k fitted - brand new? thats not bad - is that a special price? where did you get the actual clutch from?
