hey, im looking at this r32 GTR and MAY be purchasing it in the next few weeks if the final inspection is passed,

its got a standard clutch and its pretty much shagged, only got 30%-ish left

ive been doing abit of searching for clutches for GTR's and alot of people are using twin plate clutches, ive driven my brother inlaws r33 gtr series 3 with a nismo twin plate and that thing was aggresive, it had no "play" soon as the peddle gets to that point its just BAMM...abit too harsh for me, my car will only be used on weekends, city driving, etc no track work

so im just after some opinions on what people are using for a midly modified GTR (mid 200rwkw) that easy to use...

anyone recommmend any of those exedy xtreme OR cerametallic button clutch ??

thanks in advance guys :D

GTR EQUALS TWIN PLATE

GTRs are made for Launching , so you need a Twin Plate to do this properly

Read the Twin plate thread

i Just installed a NISMO SupperCopper Mix and may have jumped the gun with it a bit

Hell Bitey to start with though the clutch is turning out to be quite a smooth unit

Still with insane grip but with out the shudder as is begins to bed in nicely

ill Keep the thread going with updates for YA

SIR032

yer i got a twin plate in my R and yea they abit of a bitch. but i like it, you could go a single plate but even then if u get something decent its goin to be heavy on the foot and most likly piss you off even more, single plate brass button clutchs will hold decent power, but the second u launch it..... and you will launch it dont even bother sayin you wont, it will most like weld itself to the flywheel, which i have heard of happening...

If its a weekend car mate, buy a twin plate.... if you want something more on the street easy side, get somthing like a Exedy..... they are real light on the foot and they have a rubber between the plates so they dont rattle.

my cars a weeekend car and id never buy anything eles but a twin for it....

For a street driven vehicle, or even one that is lightly tracked, with under 250rwkw I couldn't recommend enough an Exedy Sports Organic kit. They are extremely capable unit and as they feature an organic clutch plate they retain much of the driveability of the factory set-up.

We sell these kits for $579.70 + postage. This kit, and the full list of R32 GTR clutches we can offer, can be found within the following link:

wow how can rubber survive in the heat of a clutch!?

might be a noob question but the GTR being a 4WD, isnt launching with a twinplate really bad for the transmission? or does it put most of the power to the rear?

and while im asking noob questions can someone explain the advantage of pull type clutch (1994 r32gtr) vs the earlier push type?

thanks for the replys guys

it wont be driven to and from work, maybe sometimes to my girlfriends place once or twice during weekdays, shes about 20kms away from me

and mostly weekend cruising witht the missus, goin to romantic (hahaha) places with the occasional cruise to wollongong etc

ive currently got an exedy sports tuff heavy duty clutch in my r33, feels good, ican drive all day with it, it grabs realy down low (being new and all) but shes good

i think im gona avoid the twin plate clutch route...

i think the r32 gtrs became pull type after the 02/93 :happy:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
