do plenty of searching in the DIY section, there is lots of helpful stuff in there, I downloading and print heaps off before I did my first clutch, very useful, theres a couple of tricks you'll need to know, its all in there..

have about 20 x 1/2 inch or 3/8 extensions >_<

The best tip I can give is that the top two bolts are best removed with a couple of extensions up the back of the gear box. There a pain but if you use the extensions there alot easier. Think it is covered in the DIY anyway, which as said will be extremely helpful. Should be in the DIY/Tutorials section

this is the only link i found to help me http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/DI...eplacing+clutch

any more that iv missed considering i searched and thats the only one that came up

btw i will be using an old school pit to do this so i have some nice room is that recommended?

that should see you right.. get your self a set of rachet ring spanners they will come in very handy working on these cars, especially the starter motor bolts, can't remember what size but they are a bitch

good luck

I've done clutches on about half a dozen cars and I found my R33 to be the easiest of the bunch. I had a mate helping who is a mechanic and he's done about a million cluthces. He also said it was the easiest he's ever done.

Bolts are easy to get to, exhaust easy to get out the way, stick comes out easy and box falls away easy.

There's nothing at all special about done a 33 clutch.

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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?
