    RB20DE NEO Clutch Replacement

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    Posted

    So I'm looking to replace my clutch real soon, not looking to spend a lot though.

    I've been wondering since the RB20DE has a 225φ clutch disc and the dets have a 240φ 

    and probably has a different flywheel bolt pattern as well. 

    I can get a hold of a nismo clutch disc(30100-RS225) and clutch cover(30210-RS600) but seem to have difficulties looking for a flywheel.

    so going back to the question, will I be able to fit in a kit made for the turbo variants on my HR34? Won't it hit the bell housing? 

    The photo attached shows an rb20de neo trans with the stock flywheel.

    No. Think more along the lines of laying the new VQ harness down on the floor, taking off all the insulation, stripping out all the wires in it that will not be needed in the R34, then working out how to put back in all the wires needed to work up against the R34 body harness (ie, dash, fuel pump, ABS signals, etc etc etc). See the Skid Factory video on YouTube on doing an engine transplant loom merge.

    There is no easy way. Only the lots of work way. And lots of understanding what the wires are for too.....

    Thanks man I'll look into that! Is it possible to merge the r34 loom with the vq ecu? Or I'd have to buy a standalone?

    More about it being done (13+ years ago....) than anything else.   You're in Japan so drop into Top Secret and ask them 😎.   Alternatively, throw lot's and lot's of money at them and I'm sure they'll do it for you......... 

    Not everyone is blessed with so much money man. I mean if I had the money I'd probably do that. Thanks man! I mean it's not impossible I just wanted some advice of some sort because swapping doesn't come with instruction manuals and I'm not really that knowledgable about it.

    Interesting choice really.. Wondering what youre doing with the car? is it a drift car or something along those? 
    the VQ35DE youre limited to like 250-260whp Realistically (although those motors are cheap $1200-$1600 Generally)
     

    The DE's also burn quite a bit of oil Which is why you would better off doing a VQ35HR or VQ37VHR however then it becomes somewhat even more complicated 😅

     

    Yes I'm planning to make it a drift car but yeah I'm still planning to use it as a daily. I'd love to swap in an HR to be honest. Wpuld it be a harder task to do?

    You will need to make a hybrid loom out of both the original car loom and the new engine loom. There is no easy way to do this.

    Quite doable. Just needs the work put in.

    So I'll use the r34 harnesses and somehow fit it to the new engine? 

    Using the donor car's coupler and everything? If I were to do that wouldn't it keep me from using the vq's ecu?or  I could just use the vq's harness and everything and rewire the interior electricals of my r34?

    I've been trying to look for information about swapping my r34 with a vq35de, I bought an hr34 and really don't know which route to take. My thoughts are to turbo it or swap it.

    I'm based in Japan and have access to auctions. 350z are being sold for a low price. Around 300k JPY to give you guys an idea. Putting work on my rb20 would probably cost more for less power. 

    Now my questions are;

    If I were to buy a 350z and use the harnesses and everything would I be able to keep my interior stock? Like my speedometer, A/C or I would go better off using my stock harness; if so how can I mate it to the engine side.

     

    How can I keep my A/C running?

     

    And lastly if I were to do it, up to which parts will I be able to use? 

     

    I hope someone can help me out. 

    What is this socket for

    I think that might be for ignition resister? I remember my sr20 had something similar. A lot of people just bypass them lol 

     

    as for the relay socket youll need to follow the wiring. It looks aftermarket so shouldnt be too hard to follow the wires. Perhaps was used for aftermarket fog lights ?? :/ 

    My car doesnt have fog lights though. I'll try to follow the wire ? thank you!

    Decats cause tremendous amounts of carcinogenic and lung irritating gases to be constantly coming out of your exhaust, everyone in traffic will hate you, as will your neighbors. You will smell of exhaust well after you stop driving and get out of the car. Leave well enough alone.

    Noted. Thanks.

    Hello! 

    I've been trying to look for a clear answer regarding rb clutches. I've read that NA Clutch Discs are smaller than the turbo version. So as the clutch cover bolts. I'm trying to look for a clutch kit and a lighter flywheel for my rb20de HR34. I hope someone can enlighten me. I'm a bit confused.
