Clutch Slipping Badly!

I got an Exedy Heavy Duty clutch for $420 from Martins Clutch & Brake in Campbelltown.

The cost for installation is pretty hefty, my mechanic quoted me 5 hours, and I can see why. I ended up doing it with the help of a couple of mates, took us 3 days, it is a mission of a job.If you pay someone to do it, expect to pay upwards of $400.

If i'm not wrong, the 32 GTR clutch is the 'Pull Type' not the normal 'Push Type' like the 33 GTST. Pull Type clutches will cost about minimum $700ish for a basic one.

the earlier model gtrs are push type i think up to 91-92 are push type 93 and up are pull

i just fitted one into my sons car with his help in a r33 gtst it was one of the clutches brought in here with a group buy. actually fitting time took us about 4 hrs total had to wait a day while getting flyweel machined.hardest part of the job was getting the top bolt of the starter moter altho it went back on easy lol . 350 to 400 bucks sounds about right if there machining the flywheel as well .and while you have it all apart check ya rear main seal as well may as well do it if it looks suss. gearbox took about 3.8 litres of fresh oil as well

good luck with it cheers

If yours is a 33 GTST, then you are looking at 5 hours labour - about $350- 450 depending on your mechanic.

Hence the reason I did mine myself.

You machine the flywheel and do the rear main seal?

The flywheel cost $44 to get machined, we checked the rear main and it looked ok so didn't bother changing it. Just changed the flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, thrustbearing and gearbox oil. Like I said before, if you are doing it yourself it is a mission. We didn't have a hoist or anything, just the car on stands and 2 jacks to lift the gearbox.

I know how you feel, mine went a week after I got it too.

alphanumeric: If you have budgeted $400 to put the clutch in, it will probably go over, but not by much. My mechanic quoted me 5 hours, which was $400, but that was an estimate, could be a little more or less, depending on how good your mech is at doing them.

The cost of the flywheel machining will probably put it over, but it will be close. If you are doing the rear main as well, your budget will explode big time.

I can offer you an Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button Kit for $570.50 delivered, for details on this clutch click here.

Also I would be questioning your mechanics quote of 5 hours, as I know it's only a 2 hour job, 3 tops if something does not cooperate.

so what do you expect to pay to have a clutch fitted, i have been quoted $440 that includes getting the flywheel machined

the price seems ok but mabye a little high if it really is just a 2 hour job for a good mechanic or is that what mechanics are charging at the moment?

$200 per hour?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
