i had a quick search this morning but running out of time.

has anyone changed there clutch on a rs4s and if so what did u use, how much and is it any good etc?

can anyone also confirm the rs4s has the r33 gtr box and front and rear diffs. if so, should i just be looking for a r33 gtr clutch or is the 260rs clutch more heavy duty for pulling extra weight?

any info or links would be appreciated. i have to drive my car quite slow to avoid the clutch slipping in high gears.

I put in a cushion button clutch but I cant remember if it was an xtreme or exedy. I am pretty sure it was a simple R33 GTR clutch. From memory, the heavy duty was a little cheaper but if you are thinking about more poer down the track an want to be able to launch off the line then go the cushion button.

I think the prices were about $1000 for the heavy duty and $1200 for the cushion button.

the cushion button on the stagea is annoying with the extra kerb weight and the pedal effort involved with the clutch we have (i'm sorry i don't know what brand it is). i would recommend a higher clamp organic based on our experiences on the street in this car.

my R33 has a Jim Berry mini monty (or whatever he calls it) with an organic plate and it is a pleasure to drive, light as stock and holding 280rwkw no worries. i can't wait to change the clutch on the stagea to one of similar spec.

I have the same Jim Berry clutch in mine. Was built for 300rwkw. It does not like 4-5000rpm launches. It slips and smells a bit, but does smoke all four :)

I think with flywheel machining and a few bits I was missing was around $850.

You do have to supply your old clutch for him to rebuild it.

Just remember they are "pull" type and cost more than push type.

wow this guy has got a reputation round here.

aight il give him a call today. so i take it it wont cost me an arm and a leg,to get my clutch to him and back. just sucks i need the car almost every day i might have to think about painting my datto and registering that so i can have the car off road for a bit.

ill be kidding myself thinking i can change it my self with out a hoist. i think there would be too much swearing and anger involved. anyone got a recomendation for fitment in adelaide? bare in mind if they have to pull it out and wait for the rebuild?

call jim and he will probably still be on the phone when your clutch returns. he does like to talk.

check with him whether you really need to supply the old clutch. i didn't for the R33.

i know what i'll be getting when my time comes then :)

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
