my clutch is f.u.c.k.e.d

it shat itself today. have to rev to like 6k before it starts biting

i want to go to nissan tomolo to buy the nissan patrol clutch which was mentioned in that other thread. Part no: R173N

Nissan Patrol clutch

i jus want to confirm if this is the right clutch and that it will fit my car (94 R33 GTST)

and jus to clarify, which year patrol model is the clutch from just in case the jockeys at nissan ask.

also anyone know where i can get it installed cheaply? or a place where i can use a hoist? (not too far from springy area as i dun think my clutch can last the distance)

also what gear box oil should i buy to refill?

god dammit clutches are freakin annoying when they fu(k up. :rofl:

please any help is appreciated.

LOL nissan patrol clutch is exactly the same.If you want a clutch ring paul at precision brake and clutch in bendigo he's built clutches for most top street and strip cars in australia and neighbouring countries.for ex..526rwkw supra single plate. he can be reached on 54436744 or 0427436744

Oh yeah its not cheaper unless you are buying genuine nissan parts.This bloke is well worth it,5 mins out ya time hand made button paddle clutch.or full face.dont forget pressure plate has alot to do with it aswell.A crappy clamp load pressure plate is gonna suck on a turbo line.

good work.. hopefully it goes well. I reckon there are a stack of places that can do it on the cheap - a clutch install is a clutch install.

prolly a good idea to get the flywheel machined as well when you get it all done, as that will improve the hookup of the new clutch.

damn Nissan - they build the gearboxes to withstand 300rwkw, and yet they only build the clutch to only 160rwkw or so :(

i thought you knew better mr gordon!

It's much preferreable to have one's clutch let go than to strip the gearbox.

hence why you sohuld have you clutch slightly less than what your box can handle so the clutch will go first.

Much cheaper option. :uh-huh:

Do you have to drop the k frame to the end of the threads to get to top bell housing bolts??.if so thats damn cheap coz its a prick of a job.I would go with oil and machine for $250.then its gonna feel brand new.And if ya can pay the difference get that redline shockproof oil.

yes, but ~160rwkw and around 300rwkw are largely different figures!

yes, but also, little japanese man dont like pushing a decent heavy/grippy clutch all day long either :shake: :shake:

Also im betting most of you still have the same clutch from factory... so they are getting a little older now too

When you get old clutch out check for wear on the plate.If its severley worn on pressure plate side its driver wear slipping and riding it.If its severley worn on flywheel side its engine power wear.

My twin plate was definitely the best mod ive done so far never thought a clutch would make my car feel so positive in launch and hard changing.To anyone else upgrading your clutch get the best you can afford as it makes such a good difference.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
