Hey all, i know i can search for this, and to be honest i have, but its getting late, my brains turning to mush and i'm getting things arse end up.

I have an s1 33 gtst everytime i look around and see a bargain cluch going its for a later model. i know there i can convert, the question is whats the best way and what will it cost.

Ok i've see the os giken pull push converter (or was that push pull.. bugger) goes for about 300-500 depending on where u look. is there anything cheaper than this.

And can someone set me straight once and for all on which way around i'm going... it would be push to pull right???

I think the stock OS Giken is push type....and the converting kit is for pull type....

Simon,

The entire R33 range, excluding the GTR, use a push type clutch release mechanism. Below are photos of the both types of set-ups, push and pull. It is irrelevant whether the set-up you're looking at, is a single or multi plate, the pressure plate design will still closely resemble those pictured below.

The only reason your vehicle will have a pull type arrangement is if a gearbox conversion has be conducted using an R34 item. If you are in any doubt then it's an easy job to double check. It's a simple task, look on the drivers side of the gearbox and locate the clutch slave cylinder. If the piston is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle then you have a push set-up, if towards the front of the vehicle a pull. Below is a picture of an R32 GTS-t slave cylinder, your set-up will have two bolts holes on the same side of the slave not one on either side as in the picture. The piston is the silver rod in the lower left hand side of the image.

Cheers for that, helped a lot. I mainly get miffed as every time i find a bit of a bargain clutch wise it tends to be pull type, which it appears is not me.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
