Hey mate give Direct Clutch Services a ring 07 3862 2680, www.directclutchservices.com.au. I bought one of there hi-torque cushion button clutches and had it installed on friday I've done approx 150km and the clutch feels pretty much like stock except it grips real hard and the pedal just springs your foot back. Its not a on/off type of clutch so its very streetable. I'm planning on doing a few more mods to the car and they assured me it's good for over 300rwkw. Cost me $800 inc gst if you mail your old clutch back to them, otherwise it would have cost me $1200. From looking at the clutch when it arrived they use a Exedy clutch and pressure plate and modify it to there category.

You can get some good deals with clutches online.

Clutches are not difficult to install but I've only replaced push type clutches before. I'm not sure but I think R34 might run a pull type?

I can give you a hand with doing one if the weather is good. You will also need to get the flywheel machined, which might be difficult on the weekend. I can probably come round after work one night and pull it out quickly if all goes smoothly. That way you can machine it on a weekday and get it back in sooner.

From what I've seen and heard, is that I would recommend against buying a cushion button. The design could have changed since I last looked but on the exceedy and extreme clutches I was looking at, the rivets on the clutch plate were smaller or few than either the heavy duty organic and solid button clutches. I was going to go for a cushion button initially but went for a solid button due to this issue.

heya mick at M&A engineering will usually be able to a machine a flywheel on saturday if u ring him b4 hand like friday or thursday and he does a very good job on them where i work 9times outta 10 we get our flywheels machined by him unless we buy the kit from act brakes which isnt very often but i personally prefer mick as he uses a actual flywheel lathe

Cheers guys, sounds like there's plenty of help out there ;)

Yes it looks like the R34's are a "pull type" clutch. So it looks like they are different to the R33's?

I'll talk to a few places today and see how much a standard one would cost anyway

Get one like Zanes.. It feels good :) Thats what I will get when I need to replace mine.... And there is an added bonus of it being pink! :)

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
