Re:
I'm slightly confused here.... nananut, you're asking about a hd clutch for your t31, yes? And Tony, you're referring to Dave's signature with a 2004(T30) exy? Am I missing something here?

Re:
Finally got a new DMF clutch installed. I love it  I can drive around roundabouts in 3rd gear again... I struggled going in 1st sometimes.
Mechanic advised the flywheel was definitely the problem.
Ended up going with a SACHS kit, which promises to be a bit more stronger than the Nissan OEM (which is technically an Exedy clutch).
Not a cheap job (clutch was $2k alone). ended paying $4k for 10h labour, 100k service, machining of all rotors, and all new filters that were pretty caked up with dirt/dust, and all new fluids (brake, oil, trans, diff) car drives like a dream now.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
First of all i have to thank everyone for this thread now on page 19.
I'm new to the forum , had a serious clutch burn out on a track near yepoon ,and although a number of 4x4s with all the gear shook there heads in disbleaf  and said if its any consolation we dont know how i made it to where i got to because they struggled and had to use a number of attempts but it cost me dearly with the clutch, yuk it smelt for about two weeks  , anyway now about 4 mounts later the dual fly wheel was rattling and clunking so i took it upon myself to fix it myself as it is a 2002 2.5.and not worth a $3000 quote i had here on the gold coast.
After a huge effort to lift the engine and gearbox out i was left with the front plate of the flywheel that had spun over the bolts that support the rear flywheel plate to the motor. so there was no way to spin it back , i even tried bashing it back to its original position but still couldn't get enough clearance .It had ceased there.
The angle grinder to the rescue!  and a serious amount of sparks later cutting off the support rivets and with my friendly crowbar finally got the front plate separated from the rear one. In the old days we would call this some gentle persuasion.  So that finally i could remove the bolts supporting the flywheel. one bolt ceased and took some of the thread out with it so also a bit of a retap will be necessary on that one. 
I must admit this would have cost me quit a bit more from a mechanic ,so even though its been a struggle i'm glad , well at least my pocket is glad that i did take this on myself.
Thanks to the info on this thread i will go for the solid flywheel and hd clutch , prices so far have been from $1950, from repco down to autobarns $760 but i think the clutch from auto barn is a standard clutch as all the other prices were also. I will have to double check tomorrow.
My question is has anyone found a clutch and flywheel cheaper than $760 from autobarn.
really appreciate any leads
all the best to you all Tony.
