My clutch is slipping, not when u engage the clutch but mainly from 2500rpm onwards.

Can anyone recommend a clutch to use and how much approx ?

(Genuine Nissan or other clutches)

Who do u recommend to do the installation?

Has anyone tried to take the gearbox out yourself if u have your car on jack stands ? (or do u need hoist)

Or leave it to the professionals ?

Immigrant performace at Labrador, Gold Coast quoted $930 for clutch and installation.

But Dane said the clutch they use is a heavy duty performace one they have designed themselves which can take 3000 pounds of torque.

Anyone have any experiences with this guy?

Mine Fried on Tuesday...Speak to Gavin Woods. He knows his stuff. Prices seem reasonable for Clutches. He has a couple of different options. Mine will cost me about 900ish installed for a Daikin (his recommendation)...

Call 07 5529 2313

As soon as I come up with the cash I'll be going in to get it fixed...

HEY!

This is an question that needs to be answered urgently.

I've been told that Nissan patrol clutch bolts up to my skyline by one guy (with 2300lb pressure plate) however another place told me that, that set up means that the plate engages really close to the floor.

Those of you who have this set up (including bryanlee and swordfish) is that correct? And if so how different to normal (is it engaged 1 cm off the floor with the rest of the pedal a waste)??

PLEASE HELP!

4 Doorz,

Now the Nissan Patrol Clutch is the same as any other new clutch.

If it's new then yes it will release early on the clutch.

My clutch is release about 2-3 cm off the floor.

Its not a hard clutch either.

My girlfriend drove it around one day and she didn't notice the difference.

I do recommend u speak to Geoff at Slacks Creek and Gavin Wood at Labrador.

He will tell u also...no different.

If u come to the skyline cruise on Sat I will be there and if u want u check the clutch out.

Not too brag or anything,

So he knows all about and he fitted it on my car.

Tell him Gossy with the silver Skyline Gtst had u fit it.

I was quoted $572 fot a more stanhdard H.Duty Daikin, and $644 for an uber h.duty Daikin (SKR) that would be more suitable for my use...These prices are WAY over what you guys are posting. Why?

Thanks dood. I just skim sometimes, and so miss a bit. The prices I got were from Gavin Woods, but I'll dig and see what's available. I don't really understand the difference between clutches, compounds etc, so I'll end up getting taken for a ride :P

Seriously ALL OF U WHO wants to get NEW CLUTCHES - go to 'ABS brake and CLutches' talk to brett, he's awesome. I did bargain a bit but mine cost a total of $560 - EXEDY HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH INSTALLED (includes machine flywheel, gear box oil etc.) THey did a fabulous job, clutch feels awesome, AND IT COMES WITH 12 MONTHS WARRANTY.

BEWARE!!! MOst places if u buy a clutch and bring it to ANOTHER workshop to fit, they cannot guarantee the clutch, because they did not personally order the product. I was gonna do that, but ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH match that price of me buying the clutch and getting it fitted. Better off now u can get that warranty

the clutch I'm using now feels great. its a tad shorter and heavier then the stock r33 gts-t one i had. CLoser to the ground thats about it. So far I've only stalled it once this week :D BUT ITs AWESOMe

ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH = SAY BRYAN - WITH THE VANDALISE MAROON SKYLINE. and Brent (or brett) I cant really remember, he's the guy who will fix u up with an awesome PRICE. U may have to pay few dollars more, because i did bargain the hell outta him, and showed him my vandalise skyline kekekek. GO THE SAD STORY APPROACH!

cheers

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
