Hey guys,

Well after all that (putting RB25 into R32), i think my thrust/release bearing has collapsed.

So while replacing that i wias thinking of just replacing the whole clutch..

Currently it has an Exedy Organic clutch in it. but i was reading up and saw the Exedy Cerametallic ones and they looked pretty nice. but when i googled it i couldnt find any info at all about it in australia.

The car will most likely be around the 200rwkw mark

What sorta clutch would you recommend?

only have around 400 for the clutch alone. fitting etc can be done at my house.

And where from?

Need it asap. :rofl:

Thanks guys.

Hi guys, i have had alot of luck with the EXEDY SPORTS TUFF is your price range and have 33% more clamp with less pedal effort. another company that make a good clutch is DIRECT CLUTCH in brisbane. All of these can handle a hiding and do also grip even better. from my experiance anyway hope it helps cheers :)

if you have around 200rwkw no need to go for a really heavy duty clutch, just get a full face organic clutch with more clamping pressure, one i had in my old r33 was ~$250 from racebrakes, all up including fitting and gbox oil it was 580 installed.

krzysiu - did that come with the flywheel? (as a kit)?

I'd like to order it at that price and get my mechanic to fit it, I don't think he can get them in so cheap... plus $300 or so to install he reckons.. geh should do it myself heh.

No, the flywheel was just sent away to be machined. $900 is still very good, if u minus intallation you will get it for nearly nothing.

I rang other places for the same clutch and they were quoting me rediculous prices such as $1400 for the same thing...

If you need Benny's contact, drop me a PM

yeah it would have held 180-200rwkw for sure..

maybe prices have gone up, i cant give u exact details of the clutch as i gave the reciept to the new owner when i sold that car, but it was definetly 550 installed.. that was a few years ago though! maybe 2-2.5years ago now.

uas (http://www.nismo.com.au/) have a kit for 495 exchange that would suit that sort of power too, have a look at their site.

I run a 9puk ceramic 1 tonne clutch that feels quite nice. :D

Cost me $600 early last year. Not installed.

Its what Tim recommended when he owned Horsepowerinabox.

Whatsisname has been running this clutch behind his rb25 for quite some time making 280rwkw I think now??

how much we lookin at on labour etc?

My mechanic said $300.. I thought he was ripping me till other 'reputable' places said $500 and stuff. Remember to ask when getting the quote if they're including machining the flywheel which I think is necessary or atleast preferable when changing clutches.

Who's Tim?

I got quoted $550-600 for a Exedy heavy heavy-duty 6 puk ceramic clutch kit today - apperantly it's the same clutch in a driftnats silvia that's had it in for over a year ... I think that's the same one krysiu has.

Does 6puk brandname vs 9puk generic really make a difference? Or is it all much a muchness?

Your rb30 would be pulling some serious torque eh Cubes? Is it the RB equivalent of the one I pasted in one of my posts above?

the more pucks the better in terms of useability, but it wont hold as well (usually doesnt matter because most of the time the car doesnt have enough power to make it slip anyway)

300 to install a clutch is a fair price but not much more.tell us how that clutch is when you get it..

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
