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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
