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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
