ive just fried my clutch on the weekend, i got straight on my computer and did a search in the qld section for advice, i have an r31 with an rb25det and i saw that a lot of u were recomending nicks and the 3000 pound organic daiken excedy.

so while i was at work today my old man went to nicks to get me the clutch but was told that that clutch was to heavy for me and i would need to redo all the linkage, he has recomended a 2600 pound nismo for $540, has anyone had any experiance with these, im looking at upgrading my turbo and will have around 250rwkw, and i do a bit of circuit racing and drag racing.

all help is very much appreciated.

i think the nismo's are heavy too..

OS giken are good apparently..

Excedy clutches are good too, and have a stockish feel.. what i have, although i don't have 250rwkw but apparently they're meant to be ok for something up near that.

Did my clutch last week and found the prices everyone quoted last year (on this site) to be way outdated. My results are below;

Nicks Clutch Service - (Doug) 3227 9403

- R32 gtr Nismo clutch organic plate (fits R33gtst) - $533 (clutch only)

- Daiken Heavy Duty - $ (cannot find)

ABS Brakes and Service - (Trevor) 3808 3533

- Daiken Exedy Heavy Duty Nissan Patrol Clutch - $500 fully installed

- Daiken Exedy standard GTST clutch - $560 fully installed

- Daiken Exedy Heavy Duty - $790 fully installed

- Daiken Ecedy NHD - $850 fully installed

- Installation and machining costs - $290

These guys were very helpful and give a 1 year warranty

Slacks creek brake and clutch - 3808 8193

- Daiken standard - $580 fully installed

Tried other places, but all quoted higher installation costs.

I ended up going with the Exedy NHD and have found it to be good thus far. Haven't had a good chance to test it, but will soon.

I cannot find the pressure plate ratings, so you will have to give these guys a call to find out.

Hope this helps,

Mike

(PS. The nissan patrol HD clutch is identical to the skyline HD clutch, although the casing is not shatter proof. It fits and has the same clamping pressure as the skyline HD).

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
