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 :)

  • 4 weeks later...

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

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
