Torrens Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Great thread Swordfish - exactly what I was looking for! Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch (3808 8193) are supposed to have the Exedy heavy duty organic for less than $400 - but don't seem to have a lightened flywheel to go with it?

Torrens Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hot - too good to pass up. I also have been in contact with Daiken / Exedy Australia. I asked for distributers in Brisbane and asked about lightened flywheels. Here's what I got back: Start quote. We do have lightened flywheels part no: ( NF01 ). The weight is 6.68kg. Made of billet chrome moly and ductile iron. There are two heavy duty organic kits. First one is part no: ( R5028NHD ). Which is a new assembly the cover is pivot modified for increased clamp. The second one is part no: ( SKO-5028 ) Which is a factory heavy duty. The clutch plate has hi torque springs and premium facings. You will have to purchase from one of our distributors. Southside : Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch : PH: 38088193 Northside: Advanced Mobile Machining Service: PH: 0411157535 End quote. From what I can tell, the first clutch described is the one to go for, I am currently confirming this with him. Will let you know. How about we go for a bit of a dual purchase - maybe get it for a few bucks cheaper? In all, I am a little confused - all I want is one of the Exedy heavy duty organic clutch and lightened flywheel - it's hard to get a straight answer so far.

Swordfish19792002 Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 Confirmation **************** Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch : PH: 3808 8193 Both part no's above are nothing compared to the quality and price of a Nissan Patrol H/D clutch for $320.00 which fits straight up into the Skyliner. 1,068 kg rated and for the price come on...... Lightened flywheel is about $650 +gst quick run down; ( R5028NHD ) = Sports Organic Clutch Kit. $490 + gst (same pressue plate as Nissan Patrol one) ( SKO-5028 ) = Heavy Duty Clutch : $520 +gst (915 kg rated...but a light pressure plate) so none of these come close in price and quality compred to the Nissan patrol one. Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch said if we buy 2X Nissan patrol Heavy Duty kits we can have them for........ ring me if u r still interested 0418 771 908 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/18973-clutches-and-prices/#findComment-399137 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfish19792002 Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 Just confirming these details with Gavin Wood at the moment. Soon as I get confirmation I'll order the Clutch. Although they only have one in stock and will have to order the other one.

Swordfish19792002 Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 It will only fit early GTR's 93 downwards. Becuase late 93 onwards have the pull type clutch which wont' fit I think.
