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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
