Clutches!!!!!!!! Help!!! Ive Read The Back Threads!!!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

Hi Pplz, Can Any1 Help Me, I Just Purchase A 95 Gtst Manual Skyline, And When You Launch It The Clutch Is Sliping A Bit. I Would Like To Know If Any1 In Queensland Has Replaced A Clutch With A Heavier Duty Clutch And How Much It Cost Fully Fitted. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

hope this helps.

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.

its me by the way..the one who drove along side you when you were driving the 200sx.

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!

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
