Hey Guys,

Just finished the tune and the car made 250rwkw

On the way home in 4th and 5th as soon as it comes onto boost it slips.

Pretty dangerous when trying to overtake etc.

Just wondering what you would recommend for around the $500 mark? or am I dreaming for a $500 - 250kw clutch

a good clutch isent cheap, and a cheap clutch isent good. Id put 2k aside, I've been looking around aswell, nismo suppercopper mix seems up there with the best for off shelf, custom jim berry or direct clutch, either way you won't get anything for 500

Are you installing the clutch yourself kasko? If not, I'd budget about 550-600 for labour ontop if you save the oil.

You could also look at the single plate nismo copper mix from perfect run, comes with everything and new flywheel I believe...

I had mine 'made' by K B Clutch Engineering in Sydney, the clutch is good quality and well made, though I ordered a 5 puck, he ran out of 5's and sent me a 6 without telling me, and thought that was on ok thing to do. Apart from that, it's a good service. For around the $400 mark you will get an exedy 4-5-6 puck sprung brass button centre with ceramic pads and then he will make you a custom pressure plate depending on your power/torque levels. Mine is rated at 1300kg clamp pressure / 240kw / 440nm / 6400rpm and cost $400. Seems like the way to go, you would probably get a similar clutch with a higher clamp load. I just finished putting mine in this afternoon and it feels almost like a normal stock clutch with a bit shorter travel, it's very easy.

How is your tailshaft? Good time to change the uni's.

Thanks for the info guys

If I have to spend the money I will but the build has already pushed my bank account.

Sweefu sounds like a good clutch I wonder how well it will hold up.

I would go the nismo but it's nearly 2k for it.

Will either install myself or get Shane to do it at work for cheap as labour.

I would go the nismo but it's nearly 2k for it.

single plate nismo is about 1200, it's the twin plates that are 2k+

If you're only wanting something to hold a bit more than you have now I reckon you would be fine with an npc clutch or something similar mentioned above. I only got a Jim berry because I am plannIng for the future as well as the present.

if you get a chance get the nismo coppermix. Got one in mine @250kw n it is the ducks nuts. So well sprung n easy to use. U can take off softly like a stock clutch or have heaps of clutch feel+grip on a hard launch to get the best take off.

I murder peeps with buttton clutches all the time cos they either bog down or wheelspin. N they have to live with that heavy on-off shit.

I love mine so much it makes me sleep easier..

Contact them and double check to make sure. Might also be worth asking if they are willing to underquote the price of the clutch on the invoice to keep it under $1000 inc post so you don't risk getting hit with import duty and gst...

EDIT: Just looked on the nismo website and it says for the r33 gtst you will need to purchase a Nissan genuine engine plate (Part no: 30411-05u01) and exchange with the existing part.

I think that is the engine backing plate the from the 33 gtr and 33gts4 maybe?

Just make sure you have a new spigot bush and release bearing.. Can't remember the proper name but I call it a release bearing. How much is the Nismo? The clutch I mentioned would be able to be made to hold your power no worries, I know someone running a similar clutch with a higher clamp load with 315kw / 700nm (perhaps he will post up in here) .. If you needed to save some cash, that could be a good way to go.

So all up sweefu it set you back $800?

The nismo from what I could find was around the $1200 mark

If you're not chasing much more power Kasko, I recommend the Exedy cushion button that I'm running at the moment. We have the same turbo / similar power and it's not slipping for me. This clutch has been in my car for years, seen hundreds of hard launches and lots of slippage with daily driving...she's still holding strong after the power upgrade. It is a very friendly clutch, not harsh on take off like a normal button clutch, but it puts down the power if you want it to. Time will tell, but I'm certain others have run it at this power level without issue. Otherwise, there is always the Exedy HHHDB, which many people with 300rwkw+ have run without issue.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
