hey all i just got a quote for a clutch, supply and install, from a reputable northern suburbs workshop.

its for an r32, i asked for an HD one and the guy i spoke to quoted $745

i asked him what brand they use, and he said,

for that one, they make their own clutch kit up with parts from extreme amoung others,

so i said whats it rated to, he asked me is it for a gtr or gts, so i told him its for a gts-t and his response was oh should hold 250, up to 300, as long as you drive normal.

so what do you guys think does this sound right

or should i buy one off slide (HD 240rwkw) and get them to fit that one??

atm my cars pretty stock but i want to have the abillity to be able to run about 170-200kw, if one day i decide that i want a bit more

a single heavy duty should hold 200rwkw

if you ride it like a whore and launch the crap out of it though, it wont last forever so keep that mind

speak to a few places and compare prices. about 3 years i got a single heavy duty supplied and fitted for an r33 for $1200.

its now at the stage of being replaced and is slipping. its been to a few motorsport days (deca's) and has been to heathcote as well.

Excedy HD for the Evo was about that price. The labour for me was about the same again plus flywheel and AYC Fluid so came to about $1500 all up. Not sure on labour or what is required on skylines so price could vary on that component unless you can install yourself.

I would also shop around as there are a few in workshops that would do this, try the Workshop sticky. :D

I seriously doubt a clutch for that price would hold 300 (kw i'm assuming). As Paul Said I would not use one of those clutches for anything other than a street car with 210kw or less.

If your gonna go much above that power levlel, or will be using the car for any motorsport invest in a tougher clutch (Jim Berry, Nismo, Os Giken) as if you dont you will fry you cheapy and will need to buy the more expensive one later anyway.

Buy the price seems about right for a cheap HD clutch.

just ask a few workshops what they use and recommend

ive heard of a few "single" cheap $400 clutches that suit upto 300rwkw only they slip at 200rwkw

so just double check and ask questions - you cant go wrong

that price sounds fairly decent to me.... if not very good!! i payed 900 for my hd clutch on rb20det vl.... flywheel needed alot of grinding.. said it would hold 240rwkw... its done well so far.... thank god your not going for a button clutch. 1800 plus fitting on the gtr :D

"I would also shop around as there are a few in workshops that would do this, try the Workshop sticky."

Yeh i looked through there and called a couple places, only i cant take the car to far as i will be towing it with my brother

i got quoted from another place that use daiken and exedy HD, 900 for the HD

Cluthes are really doing my head in, the cars being sitting in my driveway for over a month... i miss it

im thinking of just goin to creatd and geting it done,

unless anyone can recommend i get the slid HD instead??

Try Marz a fellow member in this forum.I bought a excedy HD clutch off him 2 yrs back and still running up to this day. Daily driven car a few hard launch here and there so they are quite good.

It cost me about $800 from what i can remeber HD clutch is $400. Installation and labour around $400.

I not sure if he still use this number 0405101901

There was a forum on this... AAhhhh here its is

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...l&hl=clutch

I've had the 240 HD in my car for ages now...~250rwkw and still going, hasn't slipped once.

Ahhh if I knew this I would have ordered one and taken it to the workshop already, was unsure of its reliability thats all.

I already booked it in for tomorrow morning because I couldnt be bothered piss farting around anymore and I want my car back.

gonna get the HD from the workshop.. will let u guys know how it goes

sounds like a pretty decent clutch u've got dezz

mlyf16 thanks for the info but like i said i cant be botthered anymore and its already booked anyway

thanks guys

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
