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:

ok

jus bought the clutch from repco, was $236.95

PBR clutch kit

dun say anything about being a heavy duty daiken

but i can tell yah its weighs a bit

now i gotta find a muzza to put it on for me

the muzza at SLR performance centre in springy said 250 machine the flywheel and gearbox oil

other muzza said he will have to see but about 100 something depending on condition of the clutch

which muzza should i pick

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.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
