hey peoples,

i have a exedy heavy duty "sports tuff" clutch in my r33 gtst and it has just under 190rwk and its crap. not even a year old and its startin to slip. can someone reccomend me a good clutch?

i like the pedal feel of the clutch i have now. whats better and still retains a heavy yet practical pedal feel, and something that wont slip even if i had 250rwk?

Under what conditions is it slipping?

I've had mine slip once when i tried to load up some revs on the handbrake. I think i had it on there for too long and it heated up to much or something. It wouldn't launch properly for that run, just bog down instead of biting in. Didn't smell to good anyway. But just doing a rolling take off in first or dropping the clutch, there's no slip at all.

A Jim Berry clutch is what you need.

Ive got a single plate R33 GTR type from him, 3800lb clamping pressure (your factory one should have around 1600lb) could handle up to 800hp.

Pedal feels very much like stock being a single plate, as opposed to many multi plate clutches or button type.

I had a Excedy Ceramic button in my GTR which had about 180rwkw and it never slipped once even after other people had driven it and ridden it heaps of times. I had it for about a year then sold the car and it was perfect.

Fitted a ORC PRO CARBON last night and its killer, super light pedal with a progressive take up very liveable as a daily for sure.

Part number ORC-559CC-01N bought it from access performance in melb.

Those exedy sports tuff things are crap, evil pedal and short life. A hyper single, ORC single (i love my ORC's, i found it better than my nismo) or a NISMO (bit pricey) is the way to go, somehting that is a matched set with integral flywheel is the go..

I'm getting a Exedy H/Duty 5-puk cushion button clutch installed in my 33.

Clutch = $460 delivered

Install = $310 inc machine flywheel

Total = $770.

$1100 sounds too much mate?

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
