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,

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
