OK, so mine is broke and the boat needed a tow home. BOO!

UAS have clutch pivot points for sale for 55bux.

Can I DIY? And do I need to take the box out to replace this sucker?

ALSO, how the HELL do you get the for retaining spring off? Is there a knack to it?

Cheers guys,

yeah you have to take the box out to replace it. 55 beans is ok nismo ones on here are the same price. the retaining spring comes off just how it looks just flick it off

yeah I put a nismo one on mine as well, as my OS twinny broked the standard GTR one. box def needs to come off for it.

old one:

Got it from JDM Concept, one of the sponsors on the forum.

Its easy enough to get it off but can you put the new one back? I can tell you that I can't but if you have very small hands you maybe able. Interesting to see if you can do it , even if it takes half an hour will be worth it .

think the genuine nissan replacement R32 GTR/R33 GTSt one was $22 or something including delivery to the workshop. The Nismo ones are $55 - $60 depending where you get em from (or $90 and 2 weeks wait from Nissan) and apparently 30% stronger. You only need the strengthened one if you're running a twin plate or a clutch which requires a lot of pressure.

Good thing I'm getting the heavy duty one! (I have a 2500lbs single plate with a ceramic clutch) - yes, its REALLY heavy under the foot!

I'll let you all know how I go putting the new one in (yes, this man has pretty girly hands - blame computers)

Funky,

I'm running the GTR Exedy 3puk button NSK-7121SC. Required do you think?

My last xtreme 9puk XHD I noticed the slave cylinders pin had been crushed back and had a slight wobble in it; possibly why I had slight issues with disengagement. The 9puk was heavier on the pedal than a mates OS Giken twinplate that he has in his GTST.

I'd get the nismo one cos its worth the extra $20 or so. Then again for $50 you could get two standard ones, but then again you run a risk of wearing out your clutch cos of a sloppy fork if it snaps.

I've noticed my twinner is a bit lighter than my old three puck HD as well... altho we did change the thrust bearing to an N14 pulsar one (slightly smaller in diameter) so I don't know how much that affected it.

lol exactly gerry....will be interesting but maybe not impossible

Anything is possible Duncan, especially if you have tiny hands , maybe he has a Japanese girlfriend ? I know I couldn't fit my hands in there. I never had reason to replace it with the box in so I never tried . It wouldn't be possible with a pull clutch i wouldn't think but he has a GTST with push clutch ... so maybe ... we will see ..

i had to do this. except mine snapped at the base of the bolt so it was just the thread left in the bell housing. i used a dremel to put a nick in the top of the thread and just screwed it out. i spoke to a mechanic mate and he said it was more than likely do to it being over tightened.

i had to do it in my garage (that's where it broke). so i took the gearbox out with the car jacked up about a foot off the ground. took me about 2 hours to get the box out by myself (with not the greatest selection of tools) and only about an hour to get it back in since i didn't have to keep sliding in and out from under the car cause i already had the tools there.

only cost me 90cents to fix though.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
