Hey guys ive got a question for you

I bought a CA18 and the owner said the clutch was bad, the pressure plate is the problem yet to my surprise this is what i found



As you can see from the pictures the disk is completely toast and everything is burned to s*** so i have no idea what to do, JUST so you guys know i don't have $900 to buy a rebuild kit or the $1000+ for a new OS giken

So if any one knows where i can pick up a Stock flywheel for cheap or a part number i could go to nissan with to get a new one that would be SOOO helpful

Also would it be possible to just get a replacement clutch disk or is the whole kit in bad enough shape its not worth it ??

Thanks guys Chris

I would just buy a replacement disc and put it back together and run it. Replacement disc should be a couple hundred.

yeah the disk is toast, because its flat there isn't any sign of there being life on it, plus when i measured it its under spec to work.

Anyone know some one selling a stock flywheel ?? ive looked but i cant seem to find any
