I will have a twin plate OS Giken clutch for sale soon as soon as my Ogura triple plate goes in.

Should have the clutch out by the end of next week. Check out my previous post: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=9450

What does a clutch cost?

I guess my car will be going close to 200rwkw eventually and i'd like to put aside enough $$ incase i start having problems with the standard item.

Anyone have suggestions for a car that will be aiming for low 13/high 12s on the odd occasion while also being very driveable to work each day?

My GTST is currently on 203rwkw but drives on 186rwkw every day (7psi for daily driving). I actually never ever drive it on 12psi (203rwkw) unless im on a dyno (dont even bother with it when im dragging someone).

It looks like my clutch has gone (so ive been told 2hrs ago) because today i had clutch specialist looking at i believe the correct term is 'release bearing' or spring or something coz it was making some griding noises.

They rang me to say that my clutch is completely warn and needs replacing. I dunno why that is coz the clutch feels damn awesome, has never ever ever slipped and is extremely easy to drive and now they are telling me its completely shot. Oh well its gonna cost me about $750 to have it all done so we'll see how it goes.

I might post a pic of my "warn clutch" if i manage to get it back. They are replacing it with some generic clutch which they say is more an adequate to do the job whilst still being easy to drive.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
