Hey all

Just bought a r33 Gtr for my daily.

It currently has a newish twin plate carbon clutch, and for daily stop start driving I'm not really a fan.

What are my options? The car has 300 kws on low boost and around 350 on high. I won't be chasing any more power...

What are my options for a normal more standard feeling clutch?

And what would my clutch be worth to sell?

Can't understand why people go that sort of clutch on a road car

Your clutch is worth $400. Haha, seriously though, no idea how much your clutch is worth. Someone, forget who, has been trying to sell a nismo twin plate for less than half price for about 4,5 months now. So you'll have to make it a good and I say GOOD price to get rid of it.

Anywho, why dont you call NPC or that Jim berry guy (people on here love him and his full monty clutch). Both of those will be able to tell you what you need.

What I hate is one the noise, I hate how there's no play like it's all or nothing. Hate how it shudders etc etc

What is a Jim berry worth?

I'm just after a standard feel etc

Nismo coppermix you wont regret it

NPC do resonably priced clutches, not 'cheap' but they do last well. Give them a call and tell them what you want and they should be able to supply you with a clutch

Mine was about $760 but its a bit more extreme then what your looking for (by the sounds of it)

If you have a twin plate though, you might need a new flyhweel if your going back to a single plate

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
