By The Way I Live On The Sunny Coast So If Any Of U Guys From Up This Way Have Any Advice On Where To Go For Good Deals Plz Let Me Know. Thanx All.

I got my clutch for around $300. It's got a 3000pound pressure plate and an organic friction plate. Hasn't missed a beat in over a year and a half

I got it from Nicks Performance Clutchs at Archerfield.

Nicks is good Mick51 got a GTR clutch there for his R32. Best bet is go to somewhere like Nicks or in your case ring them up, tell them your problem, tell them what mods your planning to do and then do what they advise you to do

HI

I'll have to do my clutch soon (when I get back) - what sort of power does your car make? The furtherest I'll probably go will be 260 rwkw.

Rb30 bottom end, low mount, injectors etc. - TOURQUE

What car was the pressure plate from?

Just interested as some people have been talking about using patrol ones.

Is it hard to push in?

My other half's gotta drive it too.

Cheers

ATM I've got about 200rwkw.

At first it was a little bit harder than the standard one, but after a while it's really easy to get used to. Same with any clutch I guess?

I think they just took my clutch in and beefed it all up and put it back in.

It was $300 for the clutch and about $300 for fitting.

Don't buy a Direct Clutch "High-Torque" Upgrade, there was certainly a lot of talk, but not a lot of upgrade. My new centre will be from Nicks.

The following link is to the info that I found out when looking in april this year. Prices may have changed so use it as a guide only.

I found that looking over the past threads gave a lot of false costs (that may have been correct at the time of writing) so be careful and don't be afraid to call around yourself and get the current prices.

I got a Nicks upgraded clutch first, I had 210 RWKW and it was brilliant. I have slightly more than that now and I upgraded to a 4 puck button clutch from Nicks. Clutch fitting should not cost any more than say $250-$300 so depending on what you pay for the clutch kit. If you buy a good clutch for around $400 you can expect to be paying around $650 or so including the install.

How do you find the button clutch?

I've read from a lot of people that they are on/off - I don't really want that.

Can you drive them smoothly with practice?

This might seem obvious but why did you goto the second upgrade?

Was the first clutch slipping?

Dad and I'll do the install ourselves - do the input shaft bearings as well.

Will be heading for 250+rwkw not too far away - but want to avoid expensive twin plates if possible.

Thanks

Hey dude...welcome to the club..you got your sjyline finally...hey just curious,.did you buy this line as it is ? we could meet up sometime and have a look at my clutch and feel the difference..as i have a heavy duty on mine.

[unwritten law]

I got my clutch from Nicks - $420 (daiken excedy HD) + another $200 for installation. Its all good!

[25det]

[gtst25]

Good stuff fellas.

Still interested in how button clutches are - I've never driven with one - just wondering if driving smoothly is possible?

Will be doing upgrade in jan -

Cheers!
