Noone can tell me why Exedy clutches don't fit series 2 R33s! I've asked 5 people selling all sorts of Exedy clutches, but they don't know. At least everyone is honest and doesn't remove the "R33 92-95" bit.

Some guy on eBay just replied to me with "it will fit". Rather contradictory!

Does anyone know why Exedy clutches all claim they'll fit up to 95 models, but no later?

Are series 2 R33 clutches opposite to the series 1???

And then why is it only Exedy clutches that claim this. (i've seen 6 new clutches advertised, and each seller pastes that text in their description)

Randy,

I am not sure who told you this but i just bought one from the following

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98588

and had it fitted a week ago and the place that did said it went in fine no problems at all.

LOL!

And thanks... I've seen 6 different people (3 on SAU, 3 on eBay) post up Exedy button-clutches, and the description always says something along the lines of "R33 up to '95".

It's just weird that they all got this info from SOMEWHERE (suspect Exedy site?) and pasted it up.

hmm that is odd... all i know is my clutch is in and working fine :) maybe monday call exceedy/daiken direct and ask them

LOL!

Me? No. I never said they didn't. I'm just asking why so many other people say they don't.

Check the for sale section for exedy clutches if you want to ridicule someone.

Hey Guys

I would really like to kill this rumour once and for all, the pull style clutch was not introduced into the none GTR range until the R34. All previous GTS-ts, including the R33 GTS25-t, use the same push setup. Also all R32 GTR manufactures until March 1993 also used an interchangeable unit.

If anyone wishes to put this to the test this, with a clutch purchased from us, and I am found to be wrong I will offer a 110% refund. This offer will stand until I have egg on my face :biggrin: If you wish to take the challenge then head over here to look at the clutches available. Unless stated SAU members can take 10% off the price. I can be contact via either PM, email or phone 0400797687.

Regards,

That's a bold statement, and i'm willing to believe it because a few people have actually bought and used Exedy clutches in their series 2 R33's.

I have found Greg to be correct also, finding a lot of proof that the series 2's are the pull-type.

Mechanically, I'm not clear as to where the pull or push originates. My clutch slave pushes on the fork, witch then pulls the pressure plate away from the friction plate. It looks to be the same as my mates R32 GTR... so i'm at a loss with that!

It's a bold statement, but I would make it if I wasn't sure I was correct. Following are the clutch engagement setups for both early and late model R33 GTS25-t and the R34 GT-t. Please take note of the position that the bearing carrier is seen. You will notice that in a pull setup (R34) that the bearing carrier is on the rear of the clutch fork while in a push setup its on then engine side. Also note that there is no difference between the R33 setups.

The offer still stands if anyone wants to try and prove me wrong.

So you're saying that they are both push-type.. both series1 and 2?

In which case I really don't understand why a lot of people advertise Exedy clutches for R32 and R33 series 1 when they infact fit series 2.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
