Offroad-Express

Got the clutch done on Friday at Summit 4wd, and was very impressed with the service.
I can highly recommend Alistair and his crew for mechanical work, and I will be looking at getting some bar work made up by them in the future too.
So if anyone is interested in getting some work done by them, they are at 220 Hazeldean Rd, off Montreal Street. 03 9821763.


Oh, and by the way, I did over a 600km round trip for these guys to work on the Safari, so that must be saying something!

Yeah he mentioned your clutch job at the training yesterday, I'm sure he muttered something about nissans being good trucks but I must have switched off as soon as i heard nissan

Hi Dave,
What sort of cost was the clutch to do??

Craig, whats wrong with your clutch ???, has it rusted to the flywheel through lack of use or have you polished all the paint off the clutch fork ???????. .

STILL LOOKS LIKE A SHINY,

FITZY.

I supplied the clutch kit, which I'm told retail for around $750.
The cost to get it put in, with new slave cylinder and flywheel machining was around $680.

A H/D clutch is around $850, thats for an ozzy design one, which have a very good rep over there.

Thanks Dave,
And Smokey :bigsmurf: I dread to say it, but when you saw her she was filthy and as she's my everyday ride at the moment i need to be careful how dirty she is. (Shiney = Fuel savings)
The good thing is people think twice b4 trying to sqeeze you out in traffic

If that was FILTHY theres not much hope for us RED CRUISER drivers.
As for FUEL SAVINGS ???? and you drive a 351, .
When in TRAFFIC, drive a CANTERBURY WINDSCREENS van and people will give you a wide berth, their vans don't have a good reputation at the moment.
And a little secret for you Craig, Those Nissans have a different badge in Aussie and you being kinda bent that way, . , go on do it, .

BLUE OVAL,

FITZY.

Which make of clutch did you go for in the end Dave?

AAhh Fitzy its actually a 429 with twin 600 holleys
And even my blue ovalness would not allow me to rebadge a car, sort of like putting a Chev in an old Ford W.T.F

I just went standard exedy, as I am more than likely heading to oz early next year.
Got the clutch for $380+, the safari tuff was going to be $750+, and the 4terrain $825 for the extra h/d.

Who did you get the quote for the 4Terrain from? I was quoted $500+gst for one "suitable for turbo engine developing 1200Nm torque.." That was from Clutch Industries in Auckland, but the dude didn't sound very convincing.

My mistake, its actually the extreme outback clutch I priced, not the 4terrain.
I was recommended this one from the guys on outerlimits, and they seem to be getting a good rep.

Oh yip. We use their solid button clutch in the race truck...complete with fruity purple coloured cover Works good, but a bit over the top for my truck I think.

I have just been looking for a clutch kit for my 2LT in my LJ71 ( but want to drop a 2.8 in ) amd a place in Aussie called sells new Valeo clutch kit for like $122 complete , but its friggn $88 in frieght , everywhere else is around $250-$300 in NZ, you know of any cheap places in NZ to get them ?

if your refferring to a toyota clutch kit then go to the dealer. i just got a genuine one for $216. way way cheaper than anywhere else

which dealer did you go to ? what did it come with ?what engine 2LT or 3L ?
