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;

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
