Miko has a 2200lbs pressure plate, if that. It might even be 2000lbs. After driving a load of cars with 2500lb clutches I can assure you Miko's isn't 2500lb.

Try Rob's clutch before you decide. You won't even need to start the car to see what I mean. They are leg breakers.

okies i'll have a chat to Ross.

edit: righto just called Ross

yeah the 2500lb is a tad heavy but should hold 400hp

the 2000-2200lb which is in Micko's (correct u were rev) should hold 350hp and is much easier to drive.

this is with the DCB clutch plate (9 finger purple)

with the organic 9 finger jobs he said your better off with 2500lb pressure plate as then it will hold the 350hp but the 2000-2200lb may or may not hold it.

Troy/rev,

I drove Rob's car last night, and while I ddin't find it heavy in the slightest, maybe I'm too used to my twin and 4-puck, I must admit I didn't like the take up. It was most annoying to drive, even a short distance, so I would check what your getting and perhaps drive a car with it in first, cause you will be stuck with it for a long time.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeh, horses mouth sounds like the idea....

Just gotta get some fold behind me, then i'll go talk the sphincter of the universe with Ross.

But just wanna know a rough cost of _just_ the clutch, not the pressure plate job ?

rev210: What's the reason you only replaced the clutch, and not the pressure plate ?

Yes you are probably right , I think it was a 2000-2200 lb pressure plate in Micko's and mine.

What makes it easy with the GTR is the vacuum assisted clutch.

Do the R33 GTST 's have that ??

Cheers

Ken

Well its installed.... I got the 2000 Pressure plate, my initial feeling is that is nice and easy to drive, its easy on my leg and doesnt slip.... I just have to get used to the new friction point ( much much lower down on the pedal ) but that is going to happen with any new clutch...

Overall very happy.... I have already started on the approx 200k's of running it in...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
