Time For A New Clutch

[cpark]

Yeah leaning towards John at Trojan. He's gonna get back to me tomorrow with a few options.

In 2 minds at the moment whether to bite the bullet and go for the twin nismo.

Haven't looked into the orc's much but don't they only come in push type?

[zebra]

get the Nismo if you can

[cpark]

Yeah cheapest I can find atm is $2100 which is not too bad. Anyone know where they might have it cheaper?

[RosieR34]

Ebay or gumtree or Japan? Haha

Haha Zeb beat me to it!

[zebra]

That is because

FIGJAM

[cpark]

is it better to go for the comp spec or the standard twin plate?

also, with ordering parts off rhd do you get stung for extra duties and taxes when it lands in oz?

thanks

[zebra]

Didn't realise they did two models....yeah you will get gst and duty on something worth that much....so may eat up the cost difference

[cpark]

yep they do two models. the comp spec is only slightly more $ but rated higher. I think it may definitely be overkill for my purposes though.

does anyone know how much extra i could be expecting in terms of customs duties?

Typical gov webpage...where it has lots of words but no meaningful information, but it should be in there somewhere.

Just Email RHD and ask them. They usually get back to me in a day or so.

[GTRKat]

I've never paid duty on RHD or Nengun products.

cool, might run the gauntlet. do they generally deliver quite quickly?

Trojan John certainly knows his stuff. You won't be disappointed.

He treats all the cars as if Showcar. I was quite impressed.

Quoted me $450 labor for a clutch on my 33.

[cpark]

he's quoted me 550 for the install but supposedly the vspecs take a little longer because they've got to drop the rear diffuser and put it back on.

[Got a Pulsar]

There you go... John knows.

I'm just gonna go out there and say that my npc clutch has lasted 3 years so far track days skid pans and drags. Still kicking at 340kw. Best $700 I ever spent on a clutch.

I've put in some big orders too, like $5k plus.

RHD do, Nengun not so much. But can vary depending on if they have the part in stock or not.
