Hey all, had another question which I need help finding the right advise for. I'm needing to replace the clutch in my Series 2 Stagea RS4S shortly and was hoping somebody on here could help me source the right part number for a replacement clutch kit by exedy.

Till this point I was under the impression the Stagea has an R33 GTR gearbox fitted up as factory standard therefor I should be looking at clutch components that suit the 33 but after searching through a few posts already I haven't been able to find a definitive answer or part number.

If anyone has had their clutch replaced using exedy parts I would greatly appreciate knowing what they had fitted and their thoughts on the clutch after having it installed.

Thanks in advanced.

Update

I've got the correct part numbers for the corresponding clutch kits to suite a Series 2 Stagea from 98-on they are as follows for everybody's future reference.

Clutch Size: 250x25.5x24

Pull Type Clutch to suit RB25DET NEO

OEM Replacement: NSK-7333 / $941.20

Heavy Duty Kit: NSK-7333HD / $1,079.95

Heavy Duty Button Kit: NSK-7333HDB / $1,186.95

Heavy Duty Cushion Button Kit: NSK-7333HDCB $1,450.70

i just got the jim berry clutch and im more than happy with it. im fairly sure it was around $900 for him to rebuild the r34gtt clutch thats in the gtr box to a higher clamping pressure and it shits over my mates heavy duty xtreme.

The NSK-7172 series suits all GTR variances from 1993-on, so late model R32 GTR's all the way through to 2002 R34's that feature a pull-type clutch. Coincidentally it also appears to fit Series 2 Stageas as well.

The NSK-7333 suits 98 model-on R34 GT-T's as well as Series 2 Stagea's so it appear that Nissan have made the fitment sizes identical between the GT-T and GTR of the same period probably for convenience.

I would assume the only real difference (if any) is perhaps the torque capacity of the GTR (NSK-7172) clutch may be higher but this I can't confirm.

yer its possible both clutches are the same. kinda weird, as i said that what i have in mine now. exedy has quoted that there nsk7172hd will only hold 363kw at the fly and do not recommend use in stageas. i had a heavy duty put in and i already regret it. its starting to show signs of slipping. (only a few weeks old). my brother inlaw had the same clutch fitted to his r33 rwd and it only lasted a week. but his car has got a few little mods i think its about 300hp atw.

have you bedded the clutch in properly? your supposed to drive really softly for about 1000kms before you go anywhere near WOT otherwise it will slip

will also f**k up if you didn't get the flywheel machined

And cleaned properly!!! machining cast will bring carbon to surface and if not cleaned with solvent will cause slipping & shuddering.

He guys.. a very strong bump here, but I'm wondering if the above information is still valid? Has anyone else gone down a different route and/or have any recommendations in regards to replacing the clutch?

I'm really happy with my Nismo twin-plate Super CopperMix. It cost a fare wedge of cash, but it's light to use, not too bitey, and should easily last quite a while even when (or if) I ever bump up the power levels.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • 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.
