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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
