Need A New Clutch Asap!!! Where's A Good Place 2 Buy 1???


Recommended Posts

Clutch is pretty much gone, does any1 know where's a good place to get 1 from around the gold coast? on the cruise tonight some1 mentioned a place called "ABS" are they good? i have to pay rego next week as well so i need to find 1 for a really good price... PLEASE HELP !!!

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 :(

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.

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:

yeah its a hard spring pedal but its not hard like it used to be, i really want 1 like i had (nissan 1) or anything else with a really hard pedal, im calling daiken on monday and having a winge cause the description states it will be harder than before instead its toooo soft for me, cant stand it!!!

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 :)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
