[EARMUFF]

hey guys, im trying to change my gearbox oil on my R33. For some reason i just cant get the drain and fill plugs undone, even with a breaker bar. Anybody had this problem?? Also, i know its on here somewhere, but what clutch would u recommend for a 250rwkw car for everyday driving? Plz help..

I saw that, but if you want a good clutch Jim will build it and will probably have a recommendation of installer in your neck of the woods, Order it from up here, get it put in down there- too easy.

I have recently embarked on this exact same thing, clutch investigation myself. One name kept coming up again & again.

Even a family friend who builds extreme high powered street bommadore's told me not to waste my time anywhere else when I was quizzing him on installing one for me cause I'm too lazy to do it. The first name he said was Jim Berry.

My middle brother who is building a 700+hp evo3 is going to use Jim.- He found out about Jim years ago when he built an Evo2 & used one then, and when I mentioned a shudder in my 32 when taking off not long ago he said Jims name straight away

So its up to you bud- was just trying to be helpful

Sweet as, hope you get it sorted,

Another option for the gearbox plugs is to put a piece of pipe on the end of the breaker bar to extend the length and give more leverage.

make sure you have stands under the car to stop it falling on you if the jack moves. Be really careful there.

How I did mine was to drive the car up on 4 pavers- 1 under each wheel so the entire car was higher and remained perfectly flat.

Undo the filler first

Then the drain plug & drain box

Apply Locktite or thread tape( I used thread tape) & replace the drain plug, tighten then refill with gearbox fluid.

Hope this helps

it would be easier to fill it through the shifter hole than the filler!

just get the breaker bar and slide a jack handle over it and pull, dont worry about breaking shit either.

thanks fellas. myt give it a try filling the oil through the shifter. i ordered a short shift kit for it. il just wait for that.

I would highly recommend looking into clutches that have anti burst covers...

250rwkw there are definitely plenty of off the shelf items like Excedy that will be more than adequate for holding your power level Kudos Motorsports sell the Genuine kits on this site in there trader section and are great to deal with

Also drop Dan from Elite racing a PM (3lit3 32) he has some Tasty NPC Clutch packages that come with with billet flywheels

Good Luck!

Try doing the plug up first a little bit to crack it then it should undo allot easier thats the same problem I had with mine and found that was the best way to get it undone g/l .....
