Hey guys, Looking for a Good clutch shop in Melbourne with relatively cheap Prices.

I been looking around and and got some decent and no so decent prices for Exedy clutch kits. One place said $650 for labor and i Just had to laugh!

Chasers Motor works quoted me $400 for labor which is not too bad I'm assuming.

As my car is AWD, I been hearing that a Exedy cushion button clutch kit is no good for AWD cars? Some one care to shed some light on that please? :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dush

hey dude,

I got a exedy cushion button in mine and its holding fine at my power and awd...cost me about 300 about a year and a half ago to get installed.

Workshop doesnt exist anymore though...

gl with it.

Dush what car ya tightarse!

Lol, its a EVO V. It a test car for the Import company "GLAM" I imported the car so they can get there RAWS approval. As no Importer in Melbourne has the license to Comply them yet. (So its gonna take ages).

But the other day i had to take her to Bridgestone to get some new rubber fitted up for compliance, RE01-R's. (@ Work shops cost of course. LOL). and on the way back i felt like "doin a launch"... and the stock clutch just slipped .. car stunk too :P

So now I'm looking for a replacement clutch. Not going factory. But some sort of race clutch kit form Exedy. But every work shops loves to charge a arm and a leg these days... :)

Yea i have spoken to Tech sport, the gave me a fairly reasonable quote but its just too far for me. I need to have the clutch fitted in a day and then bought back to my compliance work shop before 5.

That way I'm looking for cheap clutch shops in Melbourne were i can buy the kit from.

I'm interested to know how much did Techsport quote you :P . PM if you like

hey dush.. i would put the evo at chasers motorworks. they know their stuff about evos and there are plenty of evos that go down there. :( i take my car down there too. btw did u se the gunmetal 8mr with the varis widebody? that thing is a beast man.. lol.. :blink: i think 75% of cars that go to chasers are evos haha..

I bought a clutch yesterday. Contacted Northern Brakes and Clutch's in Melbourne.

Exedy 3 Puck ceramic Clutch. he wanted $895 then lowered the price to $850 and when i went to pick it up he gave it to me for $800 and a free Exedy hat :)

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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.
