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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
