Exedy clutches are relatively cheap and there is nothing wrong with them as said above the HHHDB is really strong and is what I use and no problems at other 300 but you would be able to use the cushion button with 250kw which is a bit more friendly on road driving of even HHDB will do. I had a exedy oem replacement and it was running 300kw and would only slip if you clutch kick 3rd or 4th so they are good clutches.

The guy I got the car off thinks it has a triple plate cushion already in it?

Possibly it's just seen to much and is on its way out.

How stiff is your clutch birds?

When DVS got in mine he said it was a real weird feel

lol @ triple plate cushion. I don't think that's even possible, but anyway...if you do have a triple plate it would not be giving up under ~250rwkw assuming clutch is in good condition. The only way it would is if you or the previous owner screwed it by slipping it too much in traffic (twin and triple plates need hard launches and no slips to live). Also, a clutch can just wear from use.

The bottom line is that, regardless of the clutch you have, you need a clutch that can handle 250ish and the cushion button or HHHDB will do that. My clutch is very easy on the leg, feels a bit heavier than a normal clutch and this is my daily driver so I wouldn't tolerate anything more. It will probably feel quite light compared to what it sounds like you've got now anyway.

Haha well I purchased the car not knowing anything about cars.

Now I have come to found when the guy said "ohh its tuned to 13psi as well"

He actually means he just turned the boost t up to 13psi lol.

My bet is that I f**ked it learning to drive a manual in it as the skyline was the first manual I have driven.

So its probably from word go been screaming for help

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
