Just get a few strong mates together and you will get it done in one weekend!!!!
Other wise budget for 8hrs labour
you forget this is a 2.8 TD.. totally different clutch setup.. dual mass flywheel blah blah blah...
$2000 replacement flywheel from nissan if yours is no good (they arnt machinable) BUT there are some clutch shops out there which have set up a jig to allow them to be machined plus clutch kit will set you back approx $1200/1500 from Mr Clutch
I sold my old 2.8 engine and gearbox with a busted clutch for $750
Prolly worth more in parts.. such as head and the injector pump...
Huh, hows this, my Gregorys work shop manual with the 2.8 suppliment in it says:
The clutch Machanisim fitted to the 2.8 Litre models is basically the same design as that fitted to the 4.2 litre modles with the following changes:
(1) A smaller 240 X 160 X 3.5mm driven plate is used instead of the 275 X 160 X 3.5 mm unit fitted to the larger engine. The pressure plate is also reduced in size to suit
(2) The driven plate specification changed lightly.
The maximum spline backlash is reduced to 0.7mm at115mm from the hub centre.
(3) The fly wheel to crank shaft bolt torque is reduced to 137-157Nm
(4) All other components use the same specifications but care must be taken when ordering parts to get the correct ones for the 2.8 litre modle.
So perhaps there really is no cause to worry???
If it was me i would get the clutch done before it starts slipping badly, as thats when the real damage to the fly wheel occurs, through excessive heat.

Cheers, Pete.
Correct... replace the clutch b4 the flywheel shits itself is probalby the best option money wise.
a 4.2 conversion will cost more but then again you retain standard gearing with 35's which is an added bonus.
i spoke to the clutch shop in reguard to my old man GU with the RD28T, and he said that they have replaced the duel mass flywheel wuth a standard item off a TD42, i believe, with a standard clutch kit, it works out heaps cheaper,
BUT, as you know, the duelmass fly wheel replaces the harmonic balancer, and thus removing the duelmass fly wheel will give you vibrations, he said out of the ones he had done, he had 1 and 5 with vibe probs which meant they had to go back to the duelmass, take the chance i guess?
