Hey all,

Does anyone here install cluches or know of places to install my clutch? My clutch should be ready by wednesday/thursday and it will have the flywheel with it too which is machined. I think it comes with the throw out bearing or what ever its called, I'm not too sure yet. Only thing I don't have is the seals as I don't know which ones(if any) I need to replace.

If I could get my car high enough I would do it my self but I don't think that is likely.

If anyone here in Sydney does clutch installations or knows of any places who don't charge my wallet, that would be great. Lube mobile quoted me $620 to do an on site clutch change. I assume this would be the highest cost so everything else should be less!

Cheers guys.

Oh and car is an R33 GTST.

I got quoted over $700 for a change on my r34 once.

Have a search in the nsw section for goos skyline mechanics, there are plenty in sydney. Just don't take it to someone who hasn't been recommended or they might fk it up, happened to me.

r34 clutches are pull type not push, different removal procedure. The mechanic I took it to didn't know that or that it was an important difference. He's been in the industry for 30 years and assured me that he'd done the job many times.

Point is, if you pay a little more to get it done right you'll be so much happier than going for cheap, them stuffing it up then then stuffing you around.

33 clutches are easy. It takes me roughly 3-4 hrs depending oh how much of a bitch the bolts are, this is on the ground. It would be half with a hoist.. most places charge 4-500 for a clutch and u won't need to replace seals if its not leaking

alright... i'm gonna give it a shot, if anyone reads a headline of "man crushed by gearbox in own driveway" you will know how it went.

So for those who know, whats the process?? disconnect the drive shaft, drop the great box and go to work?

Also, are their any consumables i should look at replacing while i'm at it (figure i'll do my gear box oil again whilst its easy to get to the filler hole).

And last of all, i should probably machine the fly wheel too no? if so is pulling the fly wheel fairly straight forward? and anyone know of a place in sutherland shire who do good work?

*wanders off to find service manual*

Tail shaft comes off, starter motor comes off, loosen all the electronic senders, undo bellhousing bolts, slide her back a little and drop her down.

You're gonna need new seals. There is a lower one, and some rear one. Theres a few more and a complete kit cost into the hundred or two region. I don't know much about the seals so I cant say. Might as well change the fluid.

If the clutch is different to your old one you probably need it at least shimmed to get the old material off so your new clutch can lay its new material on. Air wrench is good here, or a telegraph pole as a breaker bar. I think these are tighted to about 150 torque and loctite. You're gonna need loctite when putting them back on too. I still havent got my clutch or heard from the guy who is making it. I hope it comes soon because I really need to get my shit onto the car.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
