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 :)

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
