Is anyone going to come up with an actual model or part no??

I have a friend who owns a specialist 4x4 workshop and he carries at least half a dozen different clutches for the various year and models of the Patrol, and, they are not interchangeable.

the power limit would be like the amount of torque a patrol can throw out, plus its in a 2 ton vehicle. But I still wouldn't take it past the other daiken exedy H/D limits which are rated @ 450hp - I reckon they are a bit overrated powerwise.

Well how come the part number for the Daiken HD for a Skyline is R5208HD...

I have spoken to both Daiken distributors and to Coventry Auto, and have recieved the following information.

"The Nissan Patrol Clutch kit will fit, it has a higher rated pressure plate than the standard Skyline pressure plate. Noting this the pressure plate is rated so as to match the torque characteristics of the Patrol engine, despite sharing similar flywheels, clutches are designed with different applications in mind."

and this

"The Skyline HD clutch has an uprated clutch plate compared to the Patrol Clutch plate. The clamping pressure is similar however the the combination of varying clutch and pressure plates are designed to take either big torque low rpm, big torque high rpm or any combination in between."

or

"We do not recommend the fitment of a Patrol Clutch to a skyline and vice cersa, they are designed for different purposes and the clutch compound is different for both kits"

Don't kill the messanger, this is the info I recieved.

just thought i'd chuck in my 2 cents, even though the two clutches would be made of different compounds the low down grip and clamp that the patrol harnesses for distribution thru 4 wheels SHOULD be a godsend for hard as fu** launches, i suspect what daiken have in mind when doing their extremely expensive r&d is how fast is the clutch going to spin with what amount of torque thru the rev range and what sort of pressure can be applied to said clutch at different points. BUT i still reckon that it is worth a try, i mean what is 5-600 bucks in the scheme of things if you are going to find cool shit that that can be cross fitted, my clutch is starting to slip too and the patrol clutch is going straight in, why not. least i know it wont fall apart on me when racing me some commode-whores! Peace.

You really think that Daikin chose a clutch plate material for Patrols that will withstand hard launches? How many people do you see doing high rpm launches in their Patrols?

Just because it fits, doesn't necessarily mean that it's suited to the application, is what Daikin is trying to say.

I wouldn't know what to think. There are several people here with Patrol clutches now. To you guys - How many hard launches has the clutch withstood so far?

what i was saying that is with a 2+ ton vehicle running a 4wd drivetrain, made to take the extreme pressure that mud, sand offroad etc would put on the clutch and p/plate that hard launches should be a sinch, i realise that the rpm is different with launching a line and a patrol, but it is made for a pretty heavy duty application.

this has all been extremely interesting, i feel so conflicted. i will now consider a patrol clutch. one thing no one mentioned is the torque that a 4WD has. id have to agree that if a patrol clutch can take the low end toque, it should handle high rpm dumpage from a relativly light car, for a little bit anyway.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
