getting mine fitted at gastune next week. i am supplying cerametallic 5 puck button, fluid and bearing. so just labour and i have been quoted $360 and that includes swaping over the gearbox.

that is not really any more work once you have the old box out.

Shezz for that price I'll get a Jim special and let them install it. Then again being a GTR the price will probably double.

ive already ordered the clutch kit, so ill go check out gastune n trojan n see how much they quote me on installation..

reason im not changing it myself is, ive also been told by a few mechanics that, to drop the gearbox u need to tilt the engine forward a bit to be able to get to the bolts in between the firewall and the engine.. is this true? anyone changed a clutch on an R33 GTST here?

i am not a mechanic by any means, but another sau member on here told me this

Undo all the plugs on the box. remove the like slave cylinder. Remove box cross member bolts and box bolts. Access the top ones using an extra long extension. If you can't get it in, use a transmission jack with rubber on the sump to tilt the motor slightly. Rotate the box to clear the starter, and pull it backwards.

hope that helps,

cheers :happy:

Wheres the best place and how much to fit a stock R33 clutch kit for R33 GTST?

being that i called nissan about 2-3 weeks ago, and they quoted me $600 for a stock nissan clutch and that 1 of the 3 parts was in japan - i'd just go an exedy hd organic clutch. Same price and well it will handle more than the nissan job.

got mine fitted at Belconnen Discount Tyres. 2.5 hours labour.

Talk to Trojan Motorsport as they can supply & fit a clutch to suit your driving needs & not just a clutch they stock. John knows more about skylines than anyone I've met! Mention that you were refered by Fifth Gear Motorsports and they should look after you!

Yep Dereck better be right, I'm booked in for a Jim Berry clutch replacement there as well.

Thanks for ur help guys, went today and talked to John at Trojan Motorsports n booked it in for next week.. He seems like a good bloke and knows his skylines..

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
