im up for a new clutch and want to know the best options avaliable.i dont want to spend more than $700 including labour.Probably go to justjap for installation.

no ceramic/triple plate/brass button madness!

whatever is in mine now has a really hard pedal feel which sucks as mine is a daily drive,any suggestions?

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
