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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
