sounds bout right, 70 beans to machine the flywheel if sent out. we charge anywhere between 300 and 500 depending on car, whether it has exhaust/extractors in the way, if its 4wd etc etc etc. what have you been quoted?

mate PM slide, hes on the gold coast (i think) and ive read somewhere that he can do them for $310 which includes flywheel machining and gearbox oil change, which is pretty damn good IMO. i paid $280 btw, but im in sydney.

ive been quoted about 350-470 (more likely 470) as i am getting a jim berry clutch and he want the gasket changed on the gearbox i think and that means oil aswell and a spriget bearing, the flywheel will already be machined as jim is doing that.

Who does slide work for, I will have a triple plate clutch for sale soon :D

hey mate

and Bel garage have roughly quoted about $500

not really fussed if there is someone cheaper to save a few $$$ as bel garage are pretty damn good and they do all my work, i can trust em, lets jus hope they dont have another break in :santa::D

Quick update for me....

Was quoted $470 for a company on the Central Coast, went thru them today and was charged $403.70

Very happy

Got the cushion/button from slide.

I was worried about the clutch pressure as it's my everyday commuter to syd and back.

It's now twice as EASY to press down.

Rang em when i got home thinking they'd put the wrong one in but he said that's normal and said it was the semi/button they put in.

Apparently the newer ones are getting made better or something along those lines.

But anyway, i'm stoked ! Better clutch, no more slipping, cheaper than expected, and easier to drive...Sewwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeett !!

:D

Quick EDit:

Everything i said positive about this clutch i take back, it's a piece of shit and is slipping, since day 1.

Now 3 weeks later it needs replacing. Total crap.

By the way, i'm not the only one.

good stuff, I ended up getting my bearings done in my gearbox, syncro's deglazed (was going to replace then but they were pretty new) and the new clutch in for $800.00 at A1 Gearbox and Diff at the goldcoast, very happy :D

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
