Yeah i had the same problem.

Im going to find a cheap(er) twin second hand, osgiken or the like, and then use it until it needs a service then get it back to new. should buy me some time.

But at the end of the day i guess you look at your car and say i want x amount of power, what clutch is up to the task.

rob,

You have the same clutch plate as mine. They need to have a 'bedding in' period. I have no shudder at all, I can take off from idle in 2nd gear without kangaroo hop. You do have a very agressive 2500lb pressure plate tho, makes trying to slip the clutch a bit of an effort over stock.

The pressure plate is something you don't have to go othe top with and in return you get a very stock feel to your clutch, with great grab.

'bedding in' only takes a hundred k's or so. It involves slipping the clutch with a few more revs than normal and not giving it any boot fulls until its done.

If you give it heaps before hand it may take little 'chunks' of material out of the disc.

Yeah he is!!!! My skyline is going in on thursday.... I think Troy is putting his in early next week!!!!

Hehe Ross has soo many cars that he is starting to mix them up :D ... If I played my cards right I could have got Troys flywheel I reckon :)

grrrrrrrrrr

cheeky bugger

yeah mines in on tuesday, i could of done it this week but his install guys father died yesterday so to be on the safe side we went for next week.

$760 to install, my flywheel, 2500lb pressure plate and the 9 button purple clutch plate.

Good price Troy, I think SAU must be sending plenty of work his way, people blowing clutches left and right. Could you ask him if he has any plans to make twin-plate clutches, I think there would be a big demand for them, cause even the 2500lb clutches don't survive big power.

See'ya:burnout:

skyzerr33,

Are you sure you want the 2500lb pressure plate?I'm pretty sure He does a 2200lb which is significantly lighter. Even a 2000lb would be good.

The 2500lb is a leg breaker if you are not used to them. And it's quite a bit of overkill clamp wise.

I agree. I have the 2500pound pressure plate and the thing is a bitch to drive in peak hour traffic. You *have* to rev to about 1500-2000rpm and slide the clutch out (makes hill starts a pain too), otherwise you'll get shudder and the car will bunny hop along. I dont think rev gets this, he has the same 9 finger/puck clutch but a smaller pressure plate.

Don't worry.... I wouldn't do that to ya :(

He told me about the mechanic's father also. I fully understand why he won't be in this week but I am taking it to him this thursday still and he said a workshop two building's down can take the clutch out and put it back in and he can still do the clutch work himself. He seemed pretty confident that I would still receive the same worksmanship though. I didn't find out if it is going to cost any extra due to a third party though. I hope not as I only have just enough to do the clutch as is...

I'm pretty sure I am getting the same 9 button purple clutch plate as you too...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
