No the bolt patter and size is different, I have a Exedy Cushion Button clutch for a N/A if you are interested but the rivets broke on the disc so the disc will have to be repaired, there is a place in sydney that rebuild them I got a quote for $60 to repair it, the clutch cost over $350 new.

Yeah thought as much that's a bugger it was dirt cheap (40$)

Maybe if your in Sydney and I paid you could you have it repaired for me? Too much of a hassle for me to bother going down there etc
How used is it?

I'd also need someone to put it in for me
I could probably ask nicely with a case of beer or some cash aswell someone on the forums to do it :) with me/teach me

I rang them up to get it re-riveted, they said I had to post it to them and they will send it back ( I am in Melbourne)
 
Its not that hard to replace the clutch, If I was in Sydney I would have done it cheap for you but I am in Melbourne so I can't help but there are plenty of guides on how to replace a clutch, you pulled off your inlet manifold and if you can do that then I think you might be able to replace a clutch, 
 
If you want to try it yourself then here are the steps from when I replace clutches, this is only a small guide and I can't take any responsibility if you break anything of hurt your self. 
 
1. drain oil & disconnect battery & jack up the back of the car about 60cm
2. remove wheels, upper knuckle/ hub bolts and remove drive shafts
3. remove gearbox wiring, started motor, shifter cables and clutch slave
4. remove front&  rear engine mounts also the gearbox inspection plate 
5. support the motor with a jack and block off wood
6. remove passenger side gearbox mount and lower the engine slowly until it wont go down anymore
7. get another jack and support gearbox and remove the bell housing bolts 
8. slowly pry the box back away from the motor and lower it down
9. remove clutch, flywheel & throw out bearing
10. install machined flywheel & clutch with loctite and tighten to spec
 
Reverse these steps for installation.
 
First time it took me about 4 hours to remove the box but I now I can do it in about 2,
 
If you want to do it yourself remember safety precautions, I have had two friends die because the car came down on top of them from using **** stands and only a jack so I can't stress this enough.

Yeah very true, what do you want for the clutch? Still plenty of meat got any pics of it?

Yeah I think I'll give it a miss don't have enough jacks or any stands and just don't feel comfortable would prefer say having you or someone with more experience help
