Hey guys,

I bought my R32 skyline last year and the guy threw in the 'heavy duty' clutch he had, but had not installed yet. So far I've managed to drive the car around without any troubles with clutch slip. Well today it most definately slipped. I started from standstill at a set of lights going up a reasonably steep hill, the nob infront decided to do a u-turn where he couldn't so I gave it heaps in first gear (no launch really) but all the way to 6.5-7G's and then quick into 2nd and the tacho shot up like a gun and I didn't go anywhere really, and a nice smell afterwards. Its never done that before but I'm usually more kind on the 1st to 2nd shift and the hill probably didn't help with loading it up. Anyways, my question is, can anyone help with identifying the clutch I have? All it says is R1938N on the side of the PBR/Clutch Industries box - New Clutch Kit. Its not a button or anything, just a normal face clutch with the sprung centre (not solid). Anyone help???? I don't want to install the clutch if its just a stocko relacement or something. It has to hold around the 175 rwkw mark, thats what it makes now on 12psi, but I'd really like it to hold 190-200 rwkw just to be safe if I turn the boost up a little more on the odd occasion.

Fixxxer :P

i suspect that is the same clutch i just had put in my car. im running amuck in a r33 gts-t with 185rwkw. on monday night i completely obliterated my stock clutch, which really inst surprisingly, im told it is the original clutch in which case it has done 84000km of very hard driving. at least the 14000km i have put on it were very hard (i was doing a burnout at the time) so yeah.

anyways, that clutch was a nice one, very good feel and bite, so i was quite adamant i must get another the same, or comparable, because obviously a genuine part would be hard to find.

i dont know exactly but im told i got a clutch industries skyline gts-t clutch kit, which i have looked up on their website and its the same part number as yours.

moral to the story is, i am EXTREMELY disatisfied. the pedal has no feel, its so soft and makes me think i am driving a grandma car. the jolt and aggressive pick up of my old clutch has been replaced by a vague to non-existent pick up point with the pedal about 90% of the way let out. i have taken it to my mechanic who instantly said it felt like a shit clutch or one that was on its way out already! and he almost stalled. i am not filled with confidence of it lasting even a few months. others i have spoken to have said its nowhere near as strong as a stocky.

trust me there is nothing "heavy duty" about it. heavy duty clutches come with heavy duty feel and performance. i dont think mine is slipping though, but we shall see.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
