The main point is, for Danial (Thread starter) to upgrade the car to 260-280 the clutch will need to be decent and the cost of the 34GTT clutch is significantly higher than that of the 33GTST

33 clutches are quite cheap, it seems EVERYTHING you try to do on a 34 costs more, most parts are slightly different yet cost more :domokun:

But the mods are well worth it as the 34 is an excellent choice to modify as they are an awesome car!

And i am not biased in any way :ph34r:

i also have a pull type.... and he is right they are more expensive then a 33 clutch and to hold 280 the stock one wont and will never hack it you will have to upgrade it to a decent one :cheers:

From what Ive read, its not uncommon and not too hard to convert your R34 to a push type clutch like the R33.

Call up K B Clutch Engineering. Speak with him, ask him about the carbotic button clutch and see how much he can do it for a pull type system.

There are clutches for R33's that cost in excess of 1k, even 2k. It seems everyone buys these full monty clutches which cost >1k. What for? They sound like they are heavy on the pedal and really a waste of money. This guy who done my clutch knows his stuff, doesn't try to rip you off by telling you the crap people say oh you drive this, oh you drive that, oh its a race car, oh its got this. All this BS to make it sound more expensive than it should be.

You go to any performance shop and ask them to make you an intake pipe, $250+. Go to an exhaust shop, $80. Go to a welder, $50.

Jem berry does the full montys and they are rated for a lot more power, are carbonic and have a larger perssure plate and 2000ft pounds of clamp pressure and he balances it to the flywheel, pedal feel is close to stock, my mate has a excedy hyper single he rebuilt to hand 450kw with a solid center, 2400ft pounds of camp load and belive it or not feels so light we bleed it 3 times thinking it wasnt bleed because it was so light!

and yes you can convet from pull type to push type very cheaply as well if you so disire :thumbsup:

Get a little light through the boot of the clutch fork, you should be able to see the pressure plate, you will know if its stock or not.

My pressure plate is rated for about 2800 or 3000ft pound and feels close to stock, not stock though. I just don't understand why the jim berry clutch cost so much more than what I bought. He calculated that this clutch should hold up to 650nm - 700nm of torque.

Don't fix what ain't broke. Replace it when you need to could hold for years to come never no. Just buy a Garret or a kando, nistune, injectors and dump/ front pipe get it fitted happy days

I just did the bare essentials.

Aeromotive 340 Fuel Pump (rewired)

FMIC

Z32

525cc Inj

GT2535

full exhaust

and a few small items.

After I did all this I ended up buying a Nismo coppermix twin soon after. Depending how much torque your putting out will depend on your clutch life. Just determine what turbine is going to suit you and work around that. IMO don't go over board if you don't need it. And don't buy alot of "nice to have stuff"

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
