Guys,

Dont you hate it when your clutch slips so bad that the car basically refuses to roll anymore? I DO !!!

Im guessing the jap driver used to thrash it, as i would be considered a granny driver the way i have treated this thing upon its arrival to Oz - so i doubt it was 'old'

Basically, i need a new clutch. I dont need an expensive heavy duty wham bam thankyou mam type one... Just something that is going to make it run half decent for when i sell the bloody thing.

I had been quote $792 installed - clutch incl.... Or $282 for labour when supplying my own clutch kit. I dont believe id have to pay $500 for a clutch kit.

Justjap are selling the nissan clutch kit for $300.... Any ideas of where i could get anything cheaper if available?

As i said, i only need to get this thing to drive decent so it sells.

Cheers,

Steve.

Group buy for an Exedy HD clutch, a nice step up from the standard one but not too serious. $320 for the whole kit. Otherwise talk to a local shop and they most likely have or can get a OEM type replacement unit.

Good luck =)

I'm having the same problems too. I've posted a thread up as well. Was wondering how much longer can the clutch take before it dies out.

I was quoted $300 by a mechanic to do it. If someone knows someone who can do it for less, please let me know!!

Wesky, where's your mechanic that quoted u $280? ;)

$260+gst to fit if i supplied the kit.

A place in Sunbury called Sunbury Automatic Centre... I dont have the number on me now but whitepages.com.au can help i think.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
