It's getting to the stage where you find a good workshop, they treat you good for a while then shaft you, find another workshop and same thing ,good for a while then you get shafted again.

Sick of this sh$t . :no:

Bl4cK32 , where do you get your car done ?

My problem is I work 10hr days :) and on my day's of I'm knackered and wouldn't trust myself doing these repair's ( nitro rc car's no worry's} .

Talking clutches, my exedy twin plate needs rebuilding . Any recomendations? How much?

I have been told by a mechanic {big name workshop again} that it is $200 cheaper to rebuild it, than buying a new one .

Is this bullsh$t ?

Some one else{advan} said all I need is new plates {$700-$800} + labour, and rebuild Hydrolic booster seal's including labour $150 approx . Compared to what I was charged for the clutch in the first place, Way cheaper option .

Some one else said go see adelaide clutch services and they could make up chromeolly or whatever it is plates that will last twice as long as the above ones and cost a fraction more.

Now the first workshop said that it's no use just doing plates etc because some other part would be knackered , which is why he said replace it rather than rebuild it .{ can't remember the part though} .

I will say I am now confused as sh#t . :(

You people probably are too. LOL

Now please HELP a guy who's about to have a nervous brakedown get some sleep and peace of mind

any comment's PLEASE

Or if you have a magic wand, can I borrow it. LOL

I mostly work on my own car, but get Shaun to do tuning or complicated stuff...

If u need a gb done there are a couple of good places in Adelaide. Ask on the forums here for recommended places...

Twin plate i would just buy the rebuild kit for it (plates) that need replacing or whatever. Ask in the driveline section as a few places in Aus sell recon plates, and it would probably be cheaper to get it sent here than buy in SA.

If your happy with the way the clutch was before, why go changing plates. There is no need to get a whole new clutch if the other just requires plates....

has any one here tryed using the os gilken cross gear set in their box? surposed to be tuff as and a lot more freindly than a straight cut dog box gear set. reading from fast fours and rotarys these are selling at $3500 for cross and from $6500 for dog box internals

feed back apreciated.

Has anyone here tryed fisher performance on main north road ? spoke to a fellow there and he seemed quite reasonable. price wise i mean.

Also , has anyone used adelaide brake and clutch services around cavan rd ?{clutch repairs or rebuilds}

Any feadback apreciated. >_<

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
