Hey,

My clutch literally just blew up this arvo and i am in the lookout for a new one...

But the question remains which one should i get and which style...

I have been recommended to get an extra heavey duty one over a brass button one or twin plates... Brands recommended also were Xtreme and Xedey... (also interested in a light weight flywheel)

Anyone had experiences with these clutches or advice would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible please...

And anywhere cheap in Wollongong to find one or on ebay? (suggested prices would help too...)

Please help me out when you get a chance..

Thanks in advance,

Jake

It's a sprung centre so it's still very driveable.

It doesn't have a name like mass-produced shite brand-name clutches. It holds 265kW to the tyres and works well enough to snap axles instead of slipping.

If you want to come for a drive and see what it's like, call me cos the box will be out of it shortly.

Second hand mate - it's in the car now.

You could get it rebuilt if you REALLY wanted to for about $400 and it'd be like new - that's what it drives like now anyway though, mate. It's a cheap way to get out of a hole and when you can afford to rebuild it, by all means do so. I can put you in touch with Jim if required and the best thing is, you wont need another clutch ever again. Paul's TWO06L GTR on this forum had one of these that held over 600hp @ all four tyres!

It's up to you.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
