I'm putting all these rumors to rest.....;

****************************************************

R33 GTST 1993, Manual

THIS CLUTCH WILL ONLY FIT AN OLDER TYPE SKYLINE WITH THE PULL TYPE CLUTCH ON YOUR SLAVE CYLINDER.

****************************************************

Now theres seems to a bit of confusion going on from the last posts about clutches.

Back in May my clutch went....I researched around and sourced a new clutch.

The clutch is rated at 1500kg, heavy Duty Daiken NISSAN PATROL CLUTCH.

This clutch is interchangable with my Skyline and is half the price nearly.

Different name on the box but its the same shit only different price.

The clutch was worth $300.00 from SLACKS CREEK BRAKE AND CLUTCH (See Geoff)

GAVIN WOOD installed the clutch and through out bearing & oil for $290

The feel of the clutch pedal is great. The position of the clutch pedal is great.........just like a new clutch is supposed to behave.

When I drive it hard it doesnt slip or do anything stupid.

I can drop the pedal at 3 g's and the back wheels light up pretty quick.

I highly recommend it if you have a mild to standard liner.

AND Its not 1.2 cm or 0.004mm off the floor !- Come on guys.

Any further poblems or questions u can email me; swordfish19792002 @yahoo.com.au

Very interesting! A couple of questions though - (1) When did Skylines go from the pull to push type clutch? (2) What is the standard clamping pressure of the normal factory clutch? (3) Can any Nissan dealer get these in for around that price?

JimX,

(1) When did Skylines go from the pull to push type clutch?

>>> I think 1995 onwards....double check with Gavin Woods, labrador QLD first.

(2) What is the standard clamping pressure of the normal factory clutch?

>>> standard is 650-700kg

(3) Can any Nissan dealer get these in for around that price?

>>> Yes they can I think they were more expensiver of hand than Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch.

I tried Nissan on the Gold Coast and I think they were $55 more or something....Can't remember though.

Put get the part number first before u start ringin for prices.

swordfish u mean ur skyline has a push clutch dont u ? early mods have push late mods have pull my r33 gtr has pull ( the slave cil pushes to engine so it pulls the clutch away from it hence the name pull ) .

by the way all old cars had push and most late mod cars have pull

got my clutch done on tuesday;

been taking a bit of getting used to as its fully engaged about an inch of the floor;

liking it though, feels way quicker, perhaps the old clutch was slipping more than i though;

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
