gonna get my clutch and flywheel changed soon. appart from the thrust bearing what other stuff do i need to replace while im at it?? i know there some spigot or needle bearing that needs to be replace. anything else like seals and stuff?

cheers

yep also replace the spigot bush and replace the front seal on the gearbox as the no1 cause for worn clutches is oil...

Id only replace the seals if they are leaking. Definitly replace the spigot bush and thrust bearing.

Thing with seals is if you put a new one in it might leak! If you leave the old one that is not leaking it usually won't leak!

My theory is if it aint broke dont fix it!

The gearbox front input and tail shaft seals arn't worth much.

Consider the clutch will be in there for another 60-100,000km's so its probably worth while doing the seals now.

When I first bought mine I had the clutch done. No leaks. No less than 20,000km's later I noticed a little drip from the front of the gearbox. A stuffed input shaft seal. 'Bastard'. Do it while its out!

I got that replaced then a year later the output shaft seal was nacked. Then 3rd gear got munched so I didn't worry about it. :)

So........

Input shaft seal and gasket

Output shaft seal

Spiggot bush

Hardened pivot if your running a 1000kg+ clutch.

Maybe a new slave cylinder they are only $30-$40 odd.

Check gearbox mount as often than not if you've been giving it a bit of a hard time it will be busted.

and some good castrol synthetic or redline gearbox oil.

Reweld up the pedal box at a later date if you wish. With heavy duty 800kg+ clutches its just a matter of 'when' they pop the spot welds. Should cost no more than $30 to reweld. + labour for in and out if you can't be bothered laying on your back for 30mins.

I'll grab one just for curiosity.

Did you grease it up a touch before hand? Where do u get them for $10?

Being Nismo I assume Nissan sell them?

yeah only on the inside though were the rollers are. (used some very good and very expensive landrover grease $300 a tube from my 'mate' :ninja:)

i got them from 3lit3 32

think he would have them for a 33? for 10bucks ill give it a crack too.

oh yeah thanks for the info cubes. ill be getting an exedy cushion button, dont know what pressure its running but will get the fork welded anyways just to be sure.

With the roller bearings you really should get an oil seal ring for it as well.

Mazda do it that way.

Ive had one fall apart and go all through the clutch when a workshop that won't be named put a 13bt in my rx7. they didn't put a seal in, 20k later bearing ran dry and died and i drove home with the clutch stuck half way (lots of slip). That was the day i found they'd installed an 8 inch plate instead of an 8.5 as well ;)

they go into the end of the crank, so 1 size fits all

got any pics of this oil ring? i dont see how u can run one, caus the input shaft has to go in and out of it, and therfore u cant have it sealed off. or can you?

the grease i used was some bearing grease that they use on the wheel bearings on the landrovers etc

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.

      I got a hand held bisssel one and it's a piece of shit. Doesn't work for more than about 5 seconds. So much so that I nearly refuse to believe any wet dry vac actually works or has enough suction to clean the carpet of a car. I'm discouraged as all the good ones are $300+ for an unknown result. I saw MCM did a Ryobi video where they use this thing: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-spot-cleaner-tool-only Anyone have any experience actually using a tool like this when not paid to showcase it?
