Hello all...

After doing heaps of research on clutchs for R33's as im formally an R31/32 man myself (owned 5 lines now). I have found different information.

What i am asking is simple. I only want reply's from those with either a series 1 or series 2 skyline who have replaced their clutchs (or a mechanic who does them all the time) and what clutch you put in (push or pull).

I even contacted Nissan at Windsor who said all Series 2 GTS-t's are pull type same as the GTR's.

Then i call Nissan at Strathpine and they say only the GTR's are pull, all other skylines are push.

Can everyone confirm the exact truth???

Please state if your a R33 S1 or S2

and

Pull or Push...

Cheers Col

i have a 95 r33 gts-t. its a mix of both series 1 and 2. i don't really know the difference between push and pull, but i know how my clutch works as i've had the box out. when you push the clutch in it pushed the clutch fork, with pushes the throwout bearing towards the front of the car (and against the pressure plate), dissengaging the clutch. i asume that is a push type. i'm pretty sure my mates 97 gts-t is the same.

Hi Col,

I would love to be able to confirm one way or the other as I also have been told numerous contradicting stories but alas I cant.

The latest statement I heard from someone "in the know" was that they had never seen an R33 gearbox that was pull, hence they are all push.

As I am doing the 33 box conversion I have spoken to a few people who have done it before me to get info and every single person who purchased a 33 box managed to get a push type.

I recently purchased a 33 box for my GTSR and it was a push type. The car it was pulled from was a 95 model which the owner described as a series 1.5.

This is such a simple question and yet 2 different answers...

I think that big sully has a point. Both the slave cylinders on the s1 and s2 are the same so therefore they must bith be push type....

But i still want confirmation without pullin the box out...

I find it weird that people were telling you otherwise cos it's pretty well known that:

R32 GTST = push

R32 GTR = push (except some very late models)

R33 GTST = push

R33 GTR = pull

R34 GTT = pull

R34 GTR = pull

As you can see the pull type clutch is a more modern device. It requires less effort to disengage than a push type thus powerful cars with light clutches.

This is not just the case with Skylines.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
