Clutch Rebuilds In Vic For Os Giken Twin Plate Or New Clutch In Vic


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I've already got a general topic about my clutch rebuild or new clutch in the drivetrain:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Os...ui-t236817.html

And I'm getting some good advice there, but just wanted to know if anyone know's a good place for high quality clutches OR a twin plate rebuild in Melbourne.

Currently I'm planning on giving NPC a call and maybe Jim Berry if I can afford the phone bill :(

But do we have some good places in Melbourne?

I've done a quick call around about getting it fitted, seems to cost about $400 to fit a clutch...

Thanks,

Gareth

Hey mate, I was in the same situation as you. I just went the Jim Berry. Yeh, you might be up for a 30-50min phone call lol, but he is a top bloke to talk to and deal with. It wasnt that long of a wait either. I spoke to B.G.T. in Hawthorn aswell, they were also quite clued up on the situation.

If you can wait and save a lil .. go the jim berry clutch, geenline is great for price but man the waiting time is horrible. Yes Jim does talk alot but its worth the wait. Had my os twin rebuild from him as its unreal, light and eay to use, i had mine built to suit track work more.. so launching is out the window if i want to keep the clutch alive. postage to jim and back is $60 give or take each way and i paid just over 1300 as i have new clutch fork and what ever other bits n pieces jim suggested i should have.

I'm always surprised when people say they've had massive waiting times from greenline. I've never waited more than around 8 days I reckon, inlcuding ordering an OS rebuild kit.

I called NPC and they offered a rebuild price below $800 so that's sounding very reasonable if I was quoted the correct price.

Next problem is finding someone who doesn't mind waiting a week for my clutch to get rebuilt....I might give RE Customs a call and see what they think, but the car will be sitting for a while :)

Just FYI for anyone reading, the clutch actually ended up been a Nismo twin-plate, the model before the super coppermix.

And the transfer case was the problem with the slipping, there was nearly 2mm left on the clutch itself.

The clutch is getting rebuilt and I've been offered a transfer case (cheap) and one from the workshop, I've gone with the one from the workshop because I know its in good working condition :D

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
