Well finally got the best prices around for a quality clutch kit and DM flywheel.
Had the call this morning. It's all in for collection!
You'll never guess from where?:augie

:lol NOT THE M WORD

Well done Doug!
Yep all from Missan Exeter.
I phoned them just for a laugh, and was already to spend £1100 on a flywheel elsewhere, but the guy gave me trade terms on everything required which meant in particular the Genuine Nissan Dual Mass (Exedy) flywheel was £403 +vat. :clap
Flywheel stretch bolts are a rip-off at £9+vat each though, and seven are required!
Will replace the main output oil seal while it's all out to.

RESULT :thumb2 and a bit of extra peace of mind I suppos

It started to slip in most gears. So time was up.
The last flywheel was fitted in 2009 looking at the paperwork.
Not a bad innings.

I think mine has had a replacement clutch, it doesn't slip unless I turn the magic dial too far so its good for now, probably be putting a 3.0 one in when I start playing with turbos n stuff :sly

I'm listening :naughty

Yeah, magic dial??:sly

:lol Basically....well exactly really... a variable resistor spliced into a fuel pump wire which lets me add extra fuel by turning a little knob. I'm pretty sure it lets a fuel limiting ring travel further than it usually would. I leave it set in one position usually, giving me a bit extra all the time but I can turn it more when needed, and if I crank it up and floor it it makes a big black cloud, especially if engine speed is low, great for when the chavs are driving a wee bit close :sly

I've been wanting to hybrid my turbo for a while and allmost did untill I realised mine wasn't knackered so I left it alone, I've since discovered turbos that have ball bearing journals n stuff so might replace turbo for a bigger one, might not be too expensive and I'm gonna make my own zorst anyway, turbo whistle??...oh yes

All done boys and girls!
Clutch and flywheel fitted.
Great to feel the power under the pedal again.

jims-terrano · Jan 16, 2018

Good stuff, great feeling getting something fixed like that isn’t it.

Yes Jim,
The job took a big chunk of money,and fingers crossed this installation should last a long while. To feel the difference from doing the work is a great reward.:thumb2

Must say Dave yours must be the best most well treated patrol I've ever seen. I'm sure it will be all good and money well spent:thumb2
