Extreme clutch option is probably a good idea for a good clutch on a budget - i run one in my R32 single plate heavy duty, the clutch pedal is kinda heavy but in everyday traffic my leg got used to it after a week or so. Not bad performance either. Exedy or OS giken are great, but more expensive. So for $700 you probly cant go past an extreme clutch

Daiken/Exedy Heavy duty clutch - ive got one and it works great. I think the parts no is NSK7056HD

Should easily be able to get one and get it put in with the flywheel machined for less than $700

Don't know of any reputable businesses down south.

Definately machine the flywheel every time. Only costs $30-$40 and will ensure a flat surface for the new material to bed into.

Also, I was fitting the Excedy clutches (40% heavier duty than standard) in 32's, 33's and 34's for $600 neat so you should have no problems with a budget of $700.

It is a 4 hour job plus the cost of the clutch and machine.

It is also a good idea to replace the spigot bush while you are there. Soak the spigot bush in oil for 24 hours prior to fitting. This will ensure that it is lubricated for the rest of its life and not just 5 minutes. Check the rear main seal for leaks but only replace if it looks like it has been weeping or the rubber is hard/brittle.

thanks for your advice.the spigot bush...is that what makes the annoying sound,or is it the thrust release bearing?.i remember reading that you need to replace two bush/bearings to get rid of it.

will i need to order them from nissan or can you suggest another brand?

They both can make an annoying noise. the Spigot will make a noise in 1st and REVERSE only and just before the clutch engages to the flywheel. The throwout bearing will make a noise in neutral until you put your foot on the clutch pedal or if it is seized it will make a high pitched screech ONLY when you put your foot ON the clutch pedal.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
