Guys,

In need some advice on a replacement clutch for my R32 GTS-4 1992.

I have read that Jim Berry is the way to go, but at this point in time, i only have $500 to spare to buy one.

All installation will be completed over 2 weekends, where i will have the flywheel machined during the week.

The current power is at 220kw, and the clutch that has just shat itself is the Exedy heavy duty organic - Not too sure how long it was installed for ( i have owned the car for 2 yrs)

My questions are,

Is my car a push or pull type clutch?

Will a stronger clutch make the gearbox the "sacrificial" part in the drive train?

Is it worth the extra money to go to a button clutch?

Any help is greatly appriciated.

Adam

The R32 GTS-4 gearbox is very similar in strength to the GTR unit, therefore with the torque of an RB20 engine the box holding up isn't really an issue. If driveability is of great concern I would suggest either sticking with an Exedy Heavy Duty unit or upgrade to an Exedy Sports Organic.

EXEDY - NSK-7056HHHDB :D

Bit hard getting used to initially but feels great once worn in. I used it on the RB30/25DET in the R32 (and at one stage DETT until i converted back to a single). Ran 300rwkw for over 8000kms and did not slip once... until the oil pump let go...

The Exedy HD (NSK-7056HD) will hold the power. The only thing it won't do well is hard drag-style launches

Shouldn't cost you any more than $450 to buy. Be careful though, some companies will try to sell you the 6797 Patrol kit instead. The Patrol kit will still do the job ok but they are much cheaper than the 7056 kit. The clutch plates are different (read weaker) in the patrol kit

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
