Hey all,

well last night i was at the drags and on me way home i realised my clutch seemed to feel very soft and that changing into some gears seemed to be taking a while to engage, (ie. wouldnt just grab and go)

anyways..

i basically think ive f00ked the clutch or its on its way out... and am wondering how much roughly it would cost me to get a clutch thats good for 250-300hp..

(dont want full blown heavy duty as i wont need it... due to lack of turbs :) :) but i want something that is tough as nails and wont give out)

any suggestions and prices please people ?

definatley recomend auto clutch. That guy has prolli worked on every performance 'line, 180, silvia and what not else in this state. When i went down he was booked solid for two weeks with nuttin but sports cars. very reasonably priced too. expect to pay 5-600 for a heavy duty clutch. thing is, he rebuilds ur old clutch but its better then new!!!!

i had this problem trying to find wat size clutch disc i needed. from memory, some rb25de have the same size wheel as a rb20 -9inchs i think. But tthen there are some other ones which seem to have a 10inch wheel. mine had a 10 inch wheel. So u just need to pull the sucker out first and find out or hope for the best. Just abt any place will allow you to return the clutch if its the wrong size. just so long as its still in brand new condition **obviously**.

"yeah 2500lb pressure plate is quiet heavy but you do get used to it and it grabs very sharp and well"

I agree with C yar on this, I had a 2500lb, 9 puck clutch fitted by Xspeed in Myaree, cost $850 but so pleased with it,not that hard to get used too and at least you KNOW it won't give you trouble for some time :)

I went for the 9puck Ceramic w/2500lb pressure plate :) You do get used to it, but YES it is a bitch to drive in traffic. Thank god I don't do much peak driving anymore!

Paid close to $1k for it :D

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
