Tried the search and it didn't help

I've got the Gearbox out of my GTR so is probably a good time to replace the clutch

I was wondering where is the best place to get a replacement clutch?

I DON'T want anything too heavy as an old motorbike injury smashed my left foot and anything too strong kills me in traffic.

The clutch must be driveable too so chances are I will just go std unless I get a recommendation

Cheers

Thanks for the offer Mike

Just got some good news that the box doesn't need to be rebuilt at present.

Had a problem crunching into 4th gear at reasonable pace gearchange.

Thought baulk ring may be broken but may have just been glazed and mech was able to deglaze it by driving it.

Don't need a clutch just yet but at least I know what my options are...definitely want to keep the stock feel.

Cheers

Chris,

Can you elaborate on that one a little? I've got a small crunch like that into 4th - glazed? and deglazing by driving it?

I'm interested....

Depending on what mods you do to the GTR , the clutch that Ross does at Auto clutch in Osborne Park is very good.

If you are leaving the engine with mild 300rwkw-ish power then one of those centre sprung 8 puck metal/ceramic units with just a standard new pressure plate will work nicely.

A mistake many make with the clutch is to upgrade the clamping force when the only issue is with the heat/friction capabillity of the clutch friction plate. The factory clamping pressure is quite reasonable, the GTR isn't a 3 pot pizza car afterall.

A good chrome molly flywheel is also worth bunging in. It will at least reduce some of the strain on the gearbox shifts and keep the old clunker box syncros in slightly better shape as it increases accelleration. They are also a damn side stronger & harder faced than the cast iron stock flywheel so as to suit the more aggressive metal/ceramic friction material.

What he said ^^^^.

I had a xtreme 9 puck cushioned ceramic + 950kg pressure plate + 5.5kg chromolly flywheel installed. After running in, the weight is just like stock, and just a tad bit more bitey than the standard.

Oh yeah, installed by Ross @ autoclutch.

Ditto.

I've got a crunch into 4th when above 4000rpm.

Ross at AutoClutch is very good, he just rebuilt my OS Giken tripple plate and it's not that bad to drive at all, even without a sprung centre.

I don't know what the mechanic did.

I assume trying to gently force the car into gear and make the syncro work and maybe unglaze it if that is the problem.

Will let you know how it goes as I've only driven it a short distance so far.

Am considering changing the oil to redline or royal purple.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
