Does anyone know if an R34 clutch is the same or compatible with the R33 one?

I am looking to buy the daikin / exedy sports organic clutch but so far I am having a hard time finding out if they make them for my car. Basically, they dont, in Oz at least.

I have been talking to Daikin Aust. all week...the only thing they can offer me off the shelf [which they think will fit] is called a Premium Duty Clutch and will cost $800 just for the parts - this doesn't include a lightened flywheel either!!!

Now if 33 and 34 are the same then I will just get the exedy sports organic clutch! I'm talking about GTT / GTST here, AFAIK 33 & 34 GTR are interchangable but not from gtr to gtst etc...

Thanks guys ;)

The only cutches that I know of that are interchangeable are the R32GTR and R33GTSt.

I can only suggest you contact www.greenline.jp

If you tell them what sort of clutch you are after, they will check with their suppliers (HKS, Trust, Nismo, OS Giken, etc) and give you a run down of what is available. They are very careful when they sell parts that they are compatible. They didnt want to sell me a Trust Type R as it was for GTR and they knew I had a GTS, until of course I explained it was being custom fitted.

Also, you will probably end up with a better quality clutch at a competitive price.

Nismo.. i have a Excedy.. not sure exactly what type, but it most likely is the sports organic one. While its fairly nice, it doesn't instill great confidence and i have a feeling if i add more power it may pack itself in fairly prematurely (it was installed about 20,000km ago). The thrust bearing is already quite "clunky"

If you have the money go for a twin plate, especially if you want to go over 200rwkw. Depends of course whether you plan on further power for your car or not.

Thanks guys :(

Pred: I am checking out a dump/front pipe as we speak :) this could push me up to around 190rwkw at a guess based on current power of 180ish on the standard front exhaust section and cat... Performance wise, I won't be doing much else for a while...if at all! I only read good reports about the Exedy in other threads so thanks for the warning.

I don't think I want a twin plate as I have heard they are far from stock in terms of driveability user-friendliness. I have heard that multi plate, brass and ceramic types are ALL either ON or OFF in their operation. I would prefer just a stronger version of what I already have - which I believe is the factory spec clutch, but not 100% certain.

I test drove a twin / triple plate 34 GTT a few weeks ago and I didnt like it, very heavy pedal and very easy to stall - my car is a daily driver with the 1 or 2 time-a-year circuit / drag run...

Steve: I will send a query off to greenline, thanks. There still doesn't seem to be much knowledge in Melb / Oz [auto industry] for the 34s...

I guess though the Excedy is pretty nice to drive, and does behave like a normal clutch and grips very nicely when you tramp it.

I guess because i drive mine every day, it takes a bit of punishment in start-stop traffic and i probably do ride the clutch a little which would wear it out quicker.. Unfortunately, in start-stop peak hour-traffic its a bit unavoidable .

So maybe that would actually be a good choice if you can get one for the 34.

Hmm, well I have also heard that they arent all that great, but each to their own.

I can tell you that either a ceramic clutch (also not recommended due to fatigue after about 6 months with just over 200rwkw) or a twin plate (highly recommended) do NOT have on/off operation. You can slip a twin plate better than a stock one or a ceramic. Yes they are a bit heavier, but you get used to it very quickly.

I havent heard too many people that own twin plates bitch about them, I have only heard praise, and I love mine too.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
