Is the R33 [gtst] and R34 [gtt] clutch interchangeable?

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.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
