my r33 gtst needs a new clutch.

Where in brisbane can i get it done @ a reasonable price? Dont need nothing super flashy as I'm keeping the car for another 3 more months only.

Anyone got prices for just the clutch? and prices for labor?

thanks

Bryan

Jim Berry built my one for my old engine!! and it was awesome till it wore out (how ironic?) but yeah it was 2600pound clamp pressure, over kill i know but i didnt want the prick slipping and expressed this to him.

I'll vouch for Nicks Performance Clutches.

We got our 3000lb pressure plate + a new organic friction plate from him. All up it was somewhere near (but under) 600 bucks including fitting. You've all seen how erin drives.. And its lasted aaggess and still chirps them on the freeway :(

I'll never be putting a button clutch in aye.. I'd rather work on the theory that an organic friction plates slippage is just under the amount of power a part can soak before it breaks... So theoretically, the clutch will slip before anything important breaks... Guess we'll find out :D

Whats so good about these Exedy clutches?

are they like heavy? ceramic or something? ..

isnt there other brands that would be cheaper?

im just trying to figure out because i think my clutch will be going soon

good value for money. 2600lbs pressure plate, ceramic face. Not as hard to drive as a button. Mine has a heavy feel, which is what i like - took a while to get used to.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
