ooer interesting did you find an aftermarket clutch for the z? first time I changed mine i had to go standard nissan.

And you must change the flywheel as well. it is dual mass and will blow up sooner or later which means box out again anyway.

For the GTR clutch....where are you? there are lots of sydney workshop threads. And I've got a clutch for sale that would suit

yea going to powerplay. so much difference in quotes though, its amazing. the places that did not know gtr's were like need your car for like 2 days and 800 dollars for labour. powerplay said about 300 for labour and 2 and a half hours haha.

Excellent work! My poor baby has to go back in there soon to get my box rebuilt.

Yeah $300 is a good price and i got quoted from 2 places same price. Some places may need your car for 1 day simply because its xmas time and everyone wants their car back before xmas. Anyways good luck

getting a heavy duty clutch installed at northern beaches performance today in my 33 gtst, think they qouted about $300 for approx 2-3 hours work. would highly recommend them, and it would be alot closer than drummoyne.

why don't you just get a heavy duty clutch if you're planning on upgrading down the track? :rofl:

got my Exedy 5 puk button kit installed by trent last week, it's awesome, so light and easy to use. was expecting something very heavy and a bitch to use in traffic

if you're having trouble getting a hold of northern beaches performance on the landline, try trent's mobile (on website). quite often he's got an air compressor going or something and can't hear the phone.

and i think he mentioned sam isn't working there anymore

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
