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...

i got a heavy duty daikin put into my r33 gts-t with flywheel spin, gearbox oil etc. etc. etc. for a total of $560 ... by ABS brake and clutch in Slacks Creek they r awesome. But i did bargain ALOT with them ... but they r good blokes, So yeah if u wanna go to them, tell them Bryan with the vandalise skyline recommended u ... and they'll do u good deals.

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,

but I showed Gavin Wood at Labrador this Exedy Nissan Patrol Clutch from Slacks Creek.

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

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
