Well I knew it would happen, and yes it did, sooner than expected (as seems the go with skylines) my clutch is ultra-f**ked.

Just to clarify, clutch slipping through normal driving is clutch failure correct? (IE: revs certainly dont = power anymore and the over present odour.... lol).

I want to know, is the best thing to do buy interstate clutch and then get it fitted here/ do it myself, or is there anywhere in adelaide I can get a clutch for ~550 dollars and then fit it myself/ cheap fitment around.

I'll be looking at a steady 240kw for quite some time and I found a few kits by a seller named "ROGUEPI" off ebay that use exedy parts for modified street/ occasional clutch dumper rb25 for up to 240kw @ 490 odd buckeroos.

Any help would be great, thanks.

go to exedy clutches at hindmarsh. ill try find the address...they will fix you up. Id fit it yourself, its not hard. Ill help you i dont mind, done it heaps and heaps of times. why pay someone to put it in for you and hammer the f*k outta your car. It'll only take one day outta your life.

Bl4ck32 and I had his (rb25t box on the back of his rb30det) box in and out within 2 hours with just axle stands a couple of jacks and a lump of wood.

Its not too difficult providing you have the correct tools, long extension bars etc etc.

BUT.. I think we were just lucky that day the box slid in on its first attempt.

I would recommend Adelaide clutch services at the Corner of South Road and Cormack Rd Wingfield.

They supply Extreme and Exedy clutches and they really know there clutches.

Have a talk to them and barter a little on the price of the clutch as tyou can usually get them down on price a little.

LOL when we changed my clutch took ages cause you need to spin the box 180 to get it out and the longest part was tryin to get it back just wouldnt go in then finally popped. not a job a reccomend without the right tools and a few strong guys.

We had to spin the box close to 90degree's so the starter motor bellhousing lump cleared the floor pan, we had a hydraulic trolley jack under the rear of the box tied up with rope so that it wouldn't slip when spinning the box. Doing that really made it easy to make the box square/level so that it slid in/out easy. To get the box back up we shoved a piece of wood under it levered it up then slid the jack under it then jacked up the box so that it was in the correct position, bit of of a wiggle and slide and pop in it went.

The car had a OS Giken Twin plate, I expected that to make it more difficult as not only do you have to ensure one plate is aligned you have to make damn sure 2 are aligned. :P

Which reminds me.. Damn.. My last rb20t box that smashed third gear, I was meaning to cut the input shaft off it to use as a clutch alignment tool. The plastic ones from the auto store are never as good as the real thing. :P

There used to be a bloke on Marion road right next to Specialty tuning who would do clutch installs for $250-$300.

Which isn't too bad I thought.

The rb25 box in the r32 is a tight fit, and yes u have to spin it as well to clear the starter hump then rotate it to fit it. Cubes and i did it in the 2 hrs he said. I have a clutch align tool (needed for the Os twin plate i have in) and it slipped the box straight in.

yeah if you get boostworx to do your clutch get him to whip out the pedal box and weld it up and you'll never have a problem with it

as for driving in car parks i havnt found a problem with the xtreme clutch that has a 850kg pressure plate

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
