HELP: Prices on clutch (where?) for r33

[bryanlee38]

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

I got mine built for $380 (2200pound) by Jim berry, some one else might have his contact number on here. Work on about $55/hour for labor; should only take a few hours.

[bryanlee38]

just rang about 10 places. best price is

$400 for exedy heavy duty

$160 for nissan patrol clutch kit (which appearently fits fine, have no idea how reliable it is though ... anyone have any experience?)

NPC... ask for Doug

Go for the Daiken Excedy... $400 is a good price, i paid $420 for mine

I second using Jim Berry. I have bought about 6 or 7 clutches over the years and have never had a problem.

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

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.

What was the total cost fo the build John if you dont mind my asking?

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

[bryanlee38]

who does good prices on installation?

[MM2death]

I got quoted around $530 for clutch kit (single plate) from Nicks Clutches. I won't be going there for my clutch, certainly not.

Bryanlee, where was that price for $400?

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.
