Im short on cash after buying my r33 gearbox which has done 51000 kms on an 97 motor,and dnt have enough money for a clutch now....the stock clutch is in great nick, and i was wondering if i should bother replacing it or not with the following mods done to my car:

94 r33 gts25t

3" exhaust

pod filter + cold air feed + box

FMIC

boost tap running 10psi

im converting from auto to manual.....the auto box seem to handle the power no problems.....how long will the clutch last if i dont rebuild or replace it with something stronger?

Id say if you start modifying your car for more power,the first thing i would get is an upgraded clutch.

Mine was slipping at 170rwkw, upgraded the clutch now will handle up to 300rwkw.

Mine is finally slipping, after almost 3 years, 90K with me driving it (already had 60K when I got it) at 170-210rwkw.....210 for the last year - Quite a few launches etc... I'm also almost habbitual in slipping the clutch at lights & hills too...

It's finally slipping from what I assume is purely mileage and the launches.. will be looking at putting in an exeedy heavy duty, with the original pressure plate (if I can) - so the other half will be albe to drive it....

If you are upgrading the clutch plate you might as well upgrade the pressure plate too.They come in kits anyway.If your budget allows do the flywheel.Saves taking the box out again.

If you don't upgrade the pressure plate the only way you will increase the capacity is by running a button style clutch which will reduce drivability.

I'd recommend an xtreme xhd pressure plate with a full face clutch plate. Similar weight on the pedal due to a revised pivot point in the pressure plate and it retains very close to stock drivability.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
