Hi there, drive a R33 gts-t, 95 model.

Clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced.

Got quoted by a mechanic $1100 including labour and a heavy duty clutch.

Asked him how much for a standard clutch and he said only about $100 less.

Am I getting done over here? Any feedback greatly appreciated.

I live in Perth, WA.

Cheers, Phil

no thats about right....its actually on the cheaper side depending what clutch...my guess its an excedy HD or something..But yeah..the price is about what you would expect to pay for any clutch swap...

NPC do a nice organic clutch for about 650$ fitment is usually 400ish plus oil and clutch fluid replacement..

Does $786 + $45 delivery to Sydney for an R34 NPC organic HD clutch sound about right?

Yes, Although I would go a stronger clutch for yours Ron as the power potential is there

Doug recommended me that and said it would hold up to 330rwkw, hes known for underquoting power figures his clutches can hold so I trust him, I have to have organic for softness/street use, hows ur car btw, monster yes?

The 400kw carbotic is a little bitey at times...its soft as to the foot... But can be a little temperamental on take off and when reversing into tight spots and such...using it everyday Could get annoying in traffic could get annoying...I reckon the organic would cover you. if it was a racecar I'd say carbotic but I doubt your setup will get over 330kw and your not racing it hard yet so that organic should see you fine for a long time..

Hoping so, ARTZ, did u get your carbotic for $650, R33 push type clutches are sometimes like half price of 34 ones :( ..the only difference being the pressure plate, man youtube has some pretty interesting animations of how clutches n transmissions work..

Hey anyone knows the size (diameter?) of R34GTT clutch and pressure plates? And thickness. I have heard stories of people being sold the wrong clutch kit which causes issues when fitted, how do I know from the kit its the right one? Looking round for one, just want to be sure I get the right part.

Ron, you having your own little party in here? LOL

Pretty sure our clutch is the R33GTR clutch so they are common! If you dont plan on any more power and its a daily then go the organic.... If you plan to track it etc then go bigger and better!

I run the Jim Berry and its a nice clutch and holds up to some decent abuse.... I will be out at Powercruise giving it a hard time :P

The car is awesome! How is yours going?

Similar to the clutch i have although i havent driven an NPC yet, i love mine and for daily use its not THAT bad (Although i havent done heaps of daily work yet so ill report back on that lol)

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
