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 :)

    • 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.
