C&B off these forums... i got a hevy duty clutch for $300

flywheel machining should not be anymore than $50, although mine didnt need it just needed a sand down

i paid $300 for fitting... not that much of a hard job.. included all fluids and what not too.... by my trusted mechanic...

hope that helps

I got the exedy heavy duty from powerplay for 380 delivered last year

dont know on pricing now but I got shitfit to fit it....was about 300-350 labour?

around 800 all up I think fitted

:| at that labour!

1 hr to do mine, on the ground.

corrine.if you can change a clutch in an hour you can come and do mine.:D

i can do it myself though it means a bit of time of the road.liek a few days.with class and what not i wil be run off my feet.ive done it before though, on the skyrine and a swift.time is precious coming up to fri night at driftland.

i might do it this weekend im still undecided as to what way to go.the only thing that will fek me is the turn arround on the clutch reco.

dif, did it only take you 1 hour to do it on the ground really?

I've got a clutch to go into mine, just building up the confidence to do it atm.

I've got all the equipo, just need confidence. Hahaha, you know like when you start a job, and it's like hmmm, that's impossible. then you look at it, do a bit more, and next thing you know, it's done.

1 hour! All i can say is :D

It took me and a couple of mates 5 hours to do an R32 GTR clutch (no flywheel removal) on the ground. A GTR is more difficult, but still....

Risking did it.

Pay for the time and he might do it?

I didn't do it. Risking did.

I would have no F ing idea how to change a clutch.

I think it was less then an hour maybe 50 mins or so but it was def sub 1 hour

PS: last guy that did my clutch charged me $140 including bearings. He had never done a skyline box before. Took his time, took a bit over an hour, but it was on a hoist.

Hi mate.

what what was the total overalll cost.

where did you get it done at.

did you buy a brand new clutch?what type?cost etc..

sorry about the 20 questions.

Corinne.bad choice of words. :laughing-smiley-014:

45mins to an hour on the ground by myself. I do GTR boxes in the same time same conditions. Occasionally need help getting the GTR box back in but 8/10 its a solo effort.

By the time corinne was driven from her place to mine the job was done.

Have a go its not hard to do if you have patience and be sure to line the clutch up properly.

realisticly its a 1k drive in drive out suply and fit . if its cheaper happy days.

no doubt dave.

it's looking like i will just install my self at the current quotes i have been getting.this allways ends up happening with me.i look into getting it done through a pro and then i end up doing it myself anyway.

risking

youve got it down pat there mate.prolly nore like a weekend for me.i might even go out and buy a new clutch as well now.just so i can have the car finished on the weekend.it will probably be a rainy one at that so there is no better time for it really is there.

anyone want to learn how to put a clutch in a 33 :worship:

I got an EXTREME CLUTCH set. See http://www.xtremeclutch.com.au/. Clutch + Fly wheel and pressure bearing. It was fitted by one of the members here. I was a touch unsure to do the job but he done in around 2 hours. Great job, can not complain....but you get what u pay for.... The kit costed me around 1100 dollars, labour I can not comment.... THANK YOU BRETT. I am happy to give him a plug here if he wants me too. Now he just started his own business and experience from Porsche really helped. he is a great guy and I am sure he will be discovered by lots of Skyline lovers....

Cheers,

EUGEN

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
