Fs - As New Clutch To Suit R33

Long story short: Barely used (200kms) PVR clutch plate, pressure plate and throw-out bearing to suit R33 or VL Commodore for sale. $300 ONO, shipped within AU. (NOTE: NOT THE FLYWHEEL, I want the option of changing back to stock later).

Short story long: I recently had a new clutch in my car but stupidly didn't think ahead. In the past week I've decided to do some pretty big upgrades (ie aiming for 280rwkw+) in the coming months and have been told this would eventually be pushing it with this clutch. So, instead of driving it into the ground with the new power slowly killing it, I figure it's best to get it out asap and sell it to someone who can utilise it while it's still perfect! It's a good clutch for anyone with a stockish R33 or mild-medium mods. The guy who installed it has the same clutch in his R33 with ~220rwkw and it's been running strong for ages now with no issues. Only reason I'm selling it is for the reason above and I'm super paranoid and want everything way uprated and overkill for the upgrades. I'm waiting for a model name from the mechanic but I know it's a PBR.

The clutch is as new/barely used, and the flywheel is in fine condition. In case your interested, my car is currently stock except for the exhaust, 150rwkw and driven pretty sedately. Knowing that the clutch will be swapped out shortly, I've been babying it to keep it in best condition.

Some have said to me noone buys a second hand clutch, but since its literally got days on it I thought it's a slightly different situation. And for the price I think it's worthwhile for someone even as a backup.

Best way of contacting me is by mobile: 0404 896 713, or PM. I can link to my 100% positive eBay feedback if requested and you can see my trader rating on here (small, but good :laugh: ).

Turn my loss into your gain!

Cheers.

edit: big price drop.

Sounds cheap. I wish I had a gearbox that would fit it.

Also, R33 RB25det clutches are the same diameters as VL "turbo" clutches(same bell housing). It wont fit a n/a striaght up, but I have a feeling you can make it fit using bolt on mods.

Oh OK, thanks for the info for everyone. Yeah it's cheap... esp when I think about what a generic (non-skyline) workshop charged me to put it in :) I should have waited.

Clutch is now out of the car. Can mail pictures on request. Price is now $300 ONO INCLUDING shipping within Australia. Make me an offer, I'd rather have some cash than this thing taking up space.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
