Whats Next?

[BLITZ-26]

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

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

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

^^^ Ryan i assume you will buy an Excedy because its purple??

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

[34GeeTeeTee]

^^^^ I'll probably go Jim Berry next as its what was suggested

[BLITZ-26]

see my awesome spelling of Jim Matt lol..... its Jim berry at Race clutch and yes he can rebuild a cltuch alot cheaper depending on what you want, the full monty is just his top of the range rebuild

Ive never had my gearbox out Ive always assumed it was the stock clutch, and its holding 289rwkw...

Ive had the car since 67000Ks....

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"

[045HOW]

Don't most 33s have an Exedy unity disc that has already been installed in japan?

Obviously not from factory i mean.
