Hey guys,

The clutch in my mostly stock gtr is on the way out and I plan of replacing it with a Nismo supercopper mix single plate. I bought the nismo clutch second hand and want to get the friction plate replaced, I went to Sydney Brake and Clutch exchange and was quoted $180 for a Zinc mix friction plate (they couldn't get a nismo plate in). Are there any stockists/workshops in the Sydney area that anyone would recommend for me to get a nismo friction plate?

Can anyone recommend a workshop in Sydney's Inner West to get the clutch installed? I was originally planning on doing it myself but would be happy to save myself the effort and get a mechanic to do it if the quote isn't too steep. Speaking of which how much should I budget for a clutch install and flywheel machining, parts supplied?

cheers

Inner west workshop for install: Maybe Japlink in Haberfield or Tunehouse Marrickville. I haven't used either but they seem to be well regarded.

For the clutch plate give NPC a call or email. They can courier stuff to you in a day or two.

Thanks for the recommendations,

I rang the Nismo crowd at Seven Hills and may get the friction plate from them however they charge $110 and hour for labour so I think I'll give up a weekend and do it myself.

Mrstabby, great post regarding the clutch install/swap. Roughly how low did it take you to do the clutch? The Nismo workshop reckons 8 hours for there guys, I'll double the time for me to do it.

So that would mean $880 for a clutch change...yeah too much. $600 would probably be realistic, not that I would really know.

Takes me ages... Give yourself a weekend and you should be fine. Get mate to help you. I might be able to help out a bit....

8 hours yucky.gif they are tripping,

on a mates hoist by myself with a gearbox lift ( hired for $40 ) last time did it, drive in, drive out in under 5 hours and I'm no mechanic thumbsup.gif

saying that tho, first time on my shed floor, pretty much took all weekend... couldn't get the box off, then couldn't get it back on teehee.gif its all a learn curve, give it a go cheers.gif

I printed off a couple of DIY tutorials off here, very useful

Would love to take up your offer but if I did it myself it would be on the central coast where my tools and shed are. Its encouraging that it shouldn't take more than 8hrs aswell. Still thinking about getting a mechanic to do it, will see how my funds stack up etc

Thanks for the advice guys

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
