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"

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
