Hey guys,

Well after all that (putting RB25 into R32), i think my thrust/release bearing has collapsed.

So while replacing that i wias thinking of just replacing the whole clutch..

Currently it has an Exedy Organic clutch in it. but i was reading up and saw the Exedy Cerametallic ones and they looked pretty nice. but when i googled it i couldnt find any info at all about it in australia.

The car will most likely be around the 200rwkw mark

What sorta clutch would you recommend?

only have around 400 for the clutch alone. fitting etc can be done at my house.

And where from?

Need it asap. :rofl:

Thanks guys.

Hi guys, i have had alot of luck with the EXEDY SPORTS TUFF is your price range and have 33% more clamp with less pedal effort. another company that make a good clutch is DIRECT CLUTCH in brisbane. All of these can handle a hiding and do also grip even better. from my experiance anyway hope it helps cheers :)

if you have around 200rwkw no need to go for a really heavy duty clutch, just get a full face organic clutch with more clamping pressure, one i had in my old r33 was ~$250 from racebrakes, all up including fitting and gbox oil it was 580 installed.

krzysiu - did that come with the flywheel? (as a kit)?

I'd like to order it at that price and get my mechanic to fit it, I don't think he can get them in so cheap... plus $300 or so to install he reckons.. geh should do it myself heh.

No, the flywheel was just sent away to be machined. $900 is still very good, if u minus intallation you will get it for nearly nothing.

I rang other places for the same clutch and they were quoting me rediculous prices such as $1400 for the same thing...

If you need Benny's contact, drop me a PM

:(

yeah it would have held 180-200rwkw for sure..

maybe prices have gone up, i cant give u exact details of the clutch as i gave the reciept to the new owner when i sold that car, but it was definetly 550 installed.. that was a few years ago though! maybe 2-2.5years ago now.

uas (http://www.nismo.com.au/) have a kit for 495 exchange that would suit that sort of power too, have a look at their site.

I run a 9puk ceramic 1 tonne clutch that feels quite nice. :D

Cost me $600 early last year. Not installed.

Its what Tim recommended when he owned Horsepowerinabox.

Whatsisname has been running this clutch behind his rb25 for quite some time making 280rwkw I think now??

how much we lookin at on labour etc?

My mechanic said $300.. I thought he was ripping me till other 'reputable' places said $500 and stuff. Remember to ask when getting the quote if they're including machining the flywheel which I think is necessary or atleast preferable when changing clutches.

Who's Tim?

I got quoted $550-600 for a Exedy heavy heavy-duty 6 puk ceramic clutch kit today - apperantly it's the same clutch in a driftnats silvia that's had it in for over a year ... I think that's the same one krysiu has.

Does 6puk brandname vs 9puk generic really make a difference? Or is it all much a muchness?

Your rb30 would be pulling some serious torque eh Cubes? Is it the RB equivalent of the one I pasted in one of my posts above?

the more pucks the better in terms of useability, but it wont hold as well (usually doesnt matter because most of the time the car doesnt have enough power to make it slip anyway)

300 to install a clutch is a fair price but not much more.tell us how that clutch is when you get it..

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
