ive just fried my clutch on the weekend, i got straight on my computer and did a search in the qld section for advice, i have an r31 with an rb25det and i saw that a lot of u were recomending nicks and the 3000 pound organic daiken excedy.

so while i was at work today my old man went to nicks to get me the clutch but was told that that clutch was to heavy for me and i would need to redo all the linkage, he has recomended a 2600 pound nismo for $540, has anyone had any experiance with these, im looking at upgrading my turbo and will have around 250rwkw, and i do a bit of circuit racing and drag racing.

all help is very much appreciated.

i think the nismo's are heavy too..

OS giken are good apparently..

Excedy clutches are good too, and have a stockish feel.. what i have, although i don't have 250rwkw but apparently they're meant to be ok for something up near that.

Did my clutch last week and found the prices everyone quoted last year (on this site) to be way outdated. My results are below;

Nicks Clutch Service - (Doug) 3227 9403

- R32 gtr Nismo clutch organic plate (fits R33gtst) - $533 (clutch only)

- Daiken Heavy Duty - $ (cannot find)

ABS Brakes and Service - (Trevor) 3808 3533

- Daiken Exedy Heavy Duty Nissan Patrol Clutch - $500 fully installed

- Daiken Exedy standard GTST clutch - $560 fully installed

- Daiken Exedy Heavy Duty - $790 fully installed

- Daiken Ecedy NHD - $850 fully installed

- Installation and machining costs - $290

These guys were very helpful and give a 1 year warranty

Slacks creek brake and clutch - 3808 8193

- Daiken standard - $580 fully installed

Tried other places, but all quoted higher installation costs.

I ended up going with the Exedy NHD and have found it to be good thus far. Haven't had a good chance to test it, but will soon.

I cannot find the pressure plate ratings, so you will have to give these guys a call to find out.

Hope this helps,

Mike

(PS. The nissan patrol HD clutch is identical to the skyline HD clutch, although the casing is not shatter proof. It fits and has the same clamping pressure as the skyline HD).

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
