Hey All,

Can anyone recommend a place in Melbourne that knows what they're on about when it comes to Skyline Clutches and LightWeight Flywheels?????

Thanks.

u will have to go to xtreme clutch in adelaide for a good clutch and then order a 4.8kg chrome molly flywheel from taka.

Good luck!

I have recently gone down this neverending path, I hope for your sake the knowledge of Clutches for 33's is much better than 34's.

In short I ended up getting an Exedy Extreme Clutch [Pull type] fitted and supplied by BMT.

Get in touch with Daikin Australia and they can advise what parts are available off the shelf and also where you can go to get it done - they wont sell anything direct though. Daikin also have Clutch "Kits" for some models [not mine] which includes a lightened flywheel, though wont be as light as the Jap ones INASNT is referring to.

Yours should be a Push type which will make it A. Easier to find, B. Cheaper and C. Wider range to chose from.

Cheers.

***edit: were you in the city today by any chance? near RMIT, down a dodgy laneway?

yeah thanks for the advice, I've already been in touch with daikin and they were very helpful.

I'm now thinking I might not go for the lightweight fly as I'm not sure it's worth the money, but I'll still get the clutch.

Meshmesh, would love to hear about your deals when you know more, how will you be informing people???

**I was down a side street near RMIT the other day, did u see me or my car (or both)?? What car were u in???

Yeah, it's tough choosing the right clutch...

I was suggested by one place to get a Exedy single plate for my GTR which can handle up to 300kws. Another place told me the Exedy single plate comes in both heavy duty and organic sports which is heavier, however neither of which can handle much more than 240kws.

Can anyone tell me the difference b/n the two clutches?

I'm running an exedy single plate heavy duty in my GTR which is running around 270rwkws - seems fine to me, but i have only had the car for 3 weeks, no idea how much it has been put through or how much is left on it.

On another note i was about to start a thread about lightweight flywheels and other lightweight parts - are they worth it? what kind of parts can be lightweight like the flywheel? what price mark will i be looking at?

I have just installed a twin plate exedy clutch with a lightweight flywheel. Only drove it in and out off my mechanics driveway, but the differance in reponsiveness is very noticable. In neutral the revs up ALOT quicker, and according to my mechanic the car responds alot faster.

There is a Cusco clutch which is 4.2 kgs.

I'm very interested in a Lightweight flywheel at the moment, and I'm speaking with Kristian from Japanese Performance Imports about them.

I could ask whether we could get good prices for a group buy.

He certainly got me a VERY good price for my R-34 PFC

I was walking past on my way to the train station, I think you may have been in the car, didnt want to stare for *too long* :(

I noticed a black 33 with 34 wheels and I didnt think there were too many of these around - your car looked the business :)

For the GTR guys...Most definately stay away from the fibre clutchs....They smell and they fry as soon as you get stuck into the car.Go for a twin plate.I put a Nismo Gmax II twin plate set up and it was absolutely fantastic....drivability was great and it really bit between shifts....also it was heaps lighter that the original flywheel....i now have fitted an OS giken quad plate ...i still have the gmaxII if anyone is interested

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
