Nicks is good Mick51 got a GTR clutch there for his R32. Best bet is go to somewhere like Nicks or in your case ring them up, tell them your problem, tell them what mods your planning to do and then do what they advise you to do

I got my clutch for around $300. It's got a 3000pound pressure plate and an organic friction plate. Hasn't missed a beat in over a year and a half :)

I got it from Nicks Performance Clutchs at Archerfield.

HI

I'll have to do my clutch soon (when I get back) - what sort of power does your car make? The furtherest I'll probably go will be 260 rwkw.

Rb30 bottom end, low mount, injectors etc. - TOURQUE

What car was the pressure plate from?

Just interested as some people have been talking about using patrol ones.

Is it hard to push in?

My other half's gotta drive it too.

Cheers

ATM I've got about 200rwkw.

At first it was a little bit harder than the standard one, but after a while it's really easy to get used to. Same with any clutch I guess?

I think they just took my clutch in and beefed it all up and put it back in.

It was $300 for the clutch and about $300 for fitting.

The following link is to the info that I found out when looking in april this year. Prices may have changed so use it as a guide only.

I found that looking over the past threads gave a lot of false costs (that may have been correct at the time of writing) so be careful and don't be afraid to call around yourself and get the current prices.

I got a Nicks upgraded clutch first, I had 210 RWKW and it was brilliant. I have slightly more than that now and I upgraded to a 4 puck button clutch from Nicks. Clutch fitting should not cost any more than say $250-$300 so depending on what you pay for the clutch kit. If you buy a good clutch for around $400 you can expect to be paying around $650 or so including the install.

How do you find the button clutch?

I've read from a lot of people that they are on/off - I don't really want that.

Can you drive them smoothly with practice?

This might seem obvious but why did you goto the second upgrade?

Was the first clutch slipping?

Dad and I'll do the install ourselves - do the input shaft bearings as well.

Will be heading for 250+rwkw not too far away - but want to avoid expensive twin plates if possible.

Thanks

Good stuff fellas.

Still interested in how button clutches are - I've never driven with one - just wondering if driving smoothly is possible?

Will be doing upgrade in jan -

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
