thanks for the replies guys

i did a search under 'clutch' but go fed up after the first 6 pages and though starting a post would be easier.

Got one of Ross's clutches in the R.

So far survived 2 sessions at the Plex with 7k launches!

Feels like an OEM clutch is installed, however.

I'm not kidding myself that it will last forever, however if it lasts me a year, I'm still ahead of buying a $3k twin plate (that I doubt will last 3 years!)

Add me to the list of happy ross @ autoclutch customers. I went the 9 puck ceramic plate with 2500lb pressure plate. A little harder to push down and a bit different to get used to but once you do you'll love it.

I've got approx 260rwhp and it copes with it fine. It's lasted 2 drift days - kicking the clutch in second at 5000rpm, shown in avitar :P - and didn't miss a beat. No shudder or light pedal feel afterwards.

I got a brass button clutch in my car (from the previous owner) installed by XSpeed and I was told it cost about $900. Not sure what brand it is, but I don't really think its the best clutch out there.

My brass button (like all other brass buttons I think?) has no 'ride' whatsoever i.e. you can't ride the clutch, say, if you want to balance the car on an upward sloping hill. You can do it for about 2 seconds before you hear this shrill grating metal-on-metal screech (that sounds like running your nails down a chalkboard). I guess thats the 'brass' in my clutch.

The clutch is either on or off, so it sucks when you're in traffic, especially if the road is going uphill. Plus riding the clutch gently when in reverse is not possible without the screech. But if I release my clutch fully in reverse the car hoons along backwards - not the best thing in carparks :rofl:

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
