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 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 :)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
