Clutches GTR - Push or Pull, Twin or Triple

Ideally it would be nice if this thread could become the be all & end all of GTR CLUTCH Solutions... So here's hoping.

After doing a search resulting in some 166posts dating back when Australia was founded, & yet no real solution, I post this hoping for a simple solution for all.

My problem is finding a clutch for the R33 GTR, apparantley some model 33 gtr are similar to 32gtr & then some 33 clutch work with 34's, some are push & some are pull.. WTF is the difference? Some say push is cheaper than pull, Nismo Clutches are straight fitting, OS Clutches need modifications.. who knows.

Heres a table, maybe someone can fill in the blanks..

(please state whether it's push, pull, twin, triple, ceramic, whatever else you can think of)

R32 - <200rwkw

R32 - <300rwkw

R32 - <450rwkw

R33 - <200rwkw

R33 - <300rwkw

R33 - <450rwkw

R34 - <200rwkw

R34 - <300rwkw

R34 - <450rwkw

Also: What clutches fit what models? eg: does the 32 fit a 33? or a 33 fit a 34?

Thanks

With the exception of Jay's post, everything else has errors in it.

Let me post from my NISMO catalog that lists exactly what they are.

BNR32 (Start ~ 2/93) - PUSH

BNR32 (2/93 ~ End) - PULL

BCNR33 - PULL

BNR34 - PULL (But incompatible to non BNR34s for reasons stated in Jay's Post)

ER34's are Pull too...can you confirm that Merli?

Also is there a benefit pull over push or push over pull?

ER34s use PULL clutches, and are the same as the (2/93 ~ End) BNR32/BCNR33 PULL clutches.

Not sure what advantage there is of one over the other, but I know that OS Giken only make PUSH clutches and I had to buy the OS Giken Conversion kit to adapt their clutch for my BCNR33.... From that I assume (probably incorrectly) that PUSH clutches are better?

Can someone explain the difference in a push and a pull clutch? I assume the slave cylinder is mounted with the piston facing forward in a pull type and rearward in a push type...

Yepp, that's it.

Plus when you see the pressure plate you'll see the difference.

With a push type, when you push the clutch peddal in, the thrust bearing 'pushes' on the pressure plate splines which disengages the clutch.

With a pull type, as you said, the slave cylinder is facing the other way around, and when you push the clutch peddal in the thrust bearing 'pulls' the pressure plate out (the thrust bearing is actually clipped into the pressure plate splines) to disengage it.

Here's some pics to show you the difference.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
