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.

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

I got my new clutch fitted.........here's the info....

1. 1x Exedy Daiken Clutch (Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch) =$313.50 including GST

2. Installation, Gearbox oil, Fly wheel Machined, Spinnner bearing Replaced =$300.00 (Gavin Wood)

My car drives and changes 100 % better now. Doesn't crunch anymore.....heaps sensitive on the clutch though.

Clutch is still light to operate....pulls seconds and thirds harder !!

damn already. my clutch just went today. VERY VERY VERY PISSED OFF. So yeah - can u recommend me somewhere i can get it done? I dont need a heavy duty clutch, just something normal for my car - car is being sold in 6 months. So nothing fancy required. And whats the best place to the clutch fitted at a decent price?

Yeah i have, gettin my clutch done 2day, SOme ****heads vandalise my car yesterday! 2 days NOT in garage and it gets ****ed up! ARH! . well my clutch goin in the workshop at cooper plains place, he matched the price and beat it for installation, fly wheel etc. wat an awesome guy. I'll tell more pplz laterz, when i get his name card,

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
