Hey all, thanks for you comments. 

My clutch is slipping and the mechanic says it needs to be replaced. 

He is saying it will cost $4k+ to do the job which seems expensive. That is for a dual mass flywheel unit. 

Is this price silly? 

Reading above I could change to a single mass flywheel unit to save some coin.

Car is a 370GT.

@Toblerone - As mentioned previously I have an Australian Clutch Services - “Extreme” heavy duty single mass clutch installed in my GT350 since May & it is just fine. I got actually 3 different quotes for both single/ dual mass and all were very similar from 2200 to 2800. The Exedy Dual mass was slightly more expensive.
I don’t think the GT370 should be much different so 4k seems a bit much. I did not like my installers as I had too many delays/dramas but they were 2200.
I would strongly recommend Michael from Revolution Autogroup at Revesby as he knows these cars better than anyone  02 9773 1002 or 0404 167 230 
he will probably recommend the Exedy Dual Mass which was 2800 incl gst but that was for a 350gt. Hope it helps. Cheers Elie

for $4k I would be wanting something pretty fancy, like a dual plate setup or similar.

If you are looking around, just make sure you use the term 370GT, as a GT350 is a Mustang, and they might think down that path if you say GT370.

I suspect the 370Z unit would be the same?  can anyone confirm?

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
