im pretty sure i felt my clutch slipping today under full boost... and i know its on the way out.. so I plan on changing it.

I only need standard or equal too i think so whats my cheapest option?? Any reccomendations on a good clutch to buy.

Also, I have "some" knowledge with cars... is it something I could do my self... or would any one that has done it before be willing to spend a sat/sun morning with me to help... i can pay in beer :)

thanks,

dave

Hey Dave, the clutch meggala has suggested is a lot better, and doesnt cost that much more. I got a standard clutch put in mine, and now I regret it! :P

I think in total, if I went to Ice and got the dakien exidy organic heavy duty clutch. it would have cost me $50 - $100 more.....

I didn't do mine myself though....

Its quite an easy job.....it took 4 hours to do a clutch on the R34 gtr.... i have done an R33 GTS and it was alot quicker than the R34

thanks for the info... ylwgtr - would you be able to give a basic run down of what needs to be done. All I have heard is I need a mate as the gearbox has to be dropped.

Also, do i really need heavy duty. My car is std apart from remapped ecu basically.. And i get a sore leg from what I think is the std one in there after driving for ages around the city :P then again, i would like to pull a few burnouts and not be paranoid that the clutch wont hold..

you could replace the disc with a sintered metal one while retaining the standard tension pressure plate...this gives is a bitey feel but isnt too hard on your leg muscles!Its a very easy procedure to get out ...just the same as any RWD car...actually its easier due to how well built the car is..although the hump in the floor is a bit of a knt to get the gearbox back in..oh and get the flywheel machined

Ive got the clutch that meggs said, its crazy :P

very light on the foot, and really grippy when it needs to be.. chrips into 3rd no worries, and no traction in second at times :(

Otehr thing is, its a great daily clutch, because its organic, and not ceramic, it doesnt mind being ridden now and then :D

Go the step up, its not that much more expensive.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
