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.

oh well stocker clutch it is then.

Thanks again all.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
