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:

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

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
