boostimports Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 ABS BRAke and CLutch - they will beat any realistic verbal price u give them, even if its serperate clutch cost and labor cost. Well I did and they beat it. Mine cost $540 in total for DAikien Exedy Heavy Duty installed - with the works like gearbox oil, fly wheel spin (i think tats it) etc. etc. there's a previous thread regarding CLUTCH. check it out G/L Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24125-need-a-new-clutch-asap-wheres-a-good-place-2-buy-1/#findComment-516854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwritten law Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Getting my new clutch fitted today, got a Daiken Excedy heavy duty too. Got it thru Nicks - good deal. The mechanic who fitted just rang and said 'it feels like a bloody strong clutch, where did u get it from?' Cant wait to knock off work early and go pick it up.

NismoGirl Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Originally posted by 4 Doorz Try Nicks Performance Clutches at Archerfield/Coopers Plains - good clutches I'll second this. Speak to Doug. He's done the clutch in the skyline (organic clutch with a 3000pound pressure plate. Best. Clutch. Ever. and he also did the clutch in brutis. It's a 1650pound cable clutch) I can't drive Brutis beacuse the clutch is too damn hard. I think the skyline clutch cost about $300.. not very expensive at all. My clutch is meant to be rated at around 600hp. So it supports my 50hp quite nicely :bahaha: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24125-need-a-new-clutch-asap-wheres-a-good-place-2-buy-1/#findComment-517460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIZ180 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 most HD clutches that are sold are remanufactured units that are modified to give stronger clamping pressures. Thats why there is such a price difference between ones sold as HD and the proper racing clutch kits from Exedy, nismo, ORC, OS. Nothing wrong with the HD ones just thought you guys should be aware of what u'r buying. I recommend Nicks clutch aswell as Jim Berry at RACE clutch engineering. If you want to know everything there is to know about clutches go have a chat to Jim and be sure to allow atleast an hour Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24125-need-a-new-clutch-asap-wheres-a-good-place-2-buy-1/#findComment-517598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
