My mechanic was insistent that it would work better with the clutch I'm getting. So I just told him to go for it.

I was going to get one anyway. Less drivetrain loss :)

Car is predominantly a daily, but used for hill climbs and track days too.

Trying to get a good balance between looks, performance and practicality/reliability.

flywheel is a waste of money

I dunno, didn't really like the feel of my Exedy HD, so thought the cushion might be a good change. Spur of the moment thing :P

haha the cushion button isnt all that good for daily driving :P

takes a bit of getting used to, Kris drove my old 32 with the cushion button and even he said was hard

took alot of abuse though, and only died when one of the springs popped out of the centre part, apparently its a common issue on them

Haha good call. He's actually not making money off the clutch. That's the price that his wholesaler gave him. It's a bloody good clutch though. Definitely overkill for what I need but meh :P

HDCB's are terrible for taking constant abuse (like a full track day). The centre and the ceramic are attached so you can't rebuild them modularly when they wear out, they suck for daily driving and are no more durable than a regular HD.

basically HDCB's are for people who want to feel like they're using a brass button without any of the durability or benefits.

You either buy an HD which is cheap to maintain, gives good grip and slips enough to daily drive, or you get your balls in a bunch and buy a brass button. HDCB is for fags.

Heavy flywheel + snappy clutch = good

Light flywheel + snappy clutch = shockloaded drivetrain

I run an exedy lightened wheel in mine, with a 5 puk. Love it.

Fantastic for track work. Doesn't get driven on the street a whole lot, but when it does its a ball.

To be honest I didn't notice the difference between gears, there is a definite pickup in revs while while under load though.

leigh fix coilpacks and then check it, if the coilpacks misfire i wouldnt bother trying anything else. Where do u live? Do u want me to check it

yeah i'll wack coilpacks in first and see how it goes. I live near Knox but yeh will see how the new coilpacks go first

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
