If you just want a stock one, you can use the Nissan Patrol clutch, which is slightly stronger (and fits an r33). That is probably the cheapest option if your car is going to stay fairly stock.

Otherwise, it really depends on how much you want to spend, your current and future power levels, and how you will be driving (drift, track, road, or drag).. If you can post up what you are looking for, then people might be able to give some more specific recommendations.

Generally the Exedy Organic Clutches are a good clutch up to around 230rwkw.. or something like the Xtreme clutches are also quite good at similar price / performance to the Exedy ones.

You are looking at anywhere from 300-800 for a new one though, depending on the exact type you are after.

definitely go aftermarket clutch

they will last longer and perform a lot better

i have an xtreme organic clutch now, but i dont really like it as you can feel it slip.

i originally wanted the cushioned ceramic button as its still very drivable but performs very well

wish i didnt cheap out now.... <_<

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
