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"

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
