R34 Gtt Clutch And Installation

Hey guys well there goes my clutch in my R34 GTT Series 2.

Currently its got 200rwkw but soon to hopefully be 300rwkw.

Spoke to a few reputable clutch dudes, and they told me to go a Exedy R33 GTR race clutch as the r33 gtr clutches have a higher load clamp which will aid in holding in the power.

What if I just go for a R33 GTR Solid button or Cushion button? if so what would you recommend? It's my daily although I'm pretty rough.

Second thing, what are some good trustworthy workshops in Sydney to fit them as I have really stuffed my back and can't do it myself anymore.

I've been quoted $900 to replace clutch, machine the flywheel, new gearbox oil & rear main seal, this is by the workshop that usually carries out the work on my car and tuned it, it just seems a little too steep for me, normally it would be $400 for labor, $90 to machine a flywheel and around $100 for the oil and thats max for the oil, how much is a rear main seal?

What do you guys think I should be paying to get this service and also what are you're recommendations on the clutch.

Also should I get a lightened flywheel? any side effects of getting a lightweight flywheel? I'm used to N/A so normally it's the better thing to do although with turbo I'm not sure, as it will be less load I'm guessing the turbo will be laggier? should I just leave the standard flywheel?

Please help me ASAP as this is my daily driver and I need to get started on it asap, thanks.

^haha excellent reply as always!

I'm in your same shoes, except i'll never breach 200kw (if ever), and I recently snapped up the Nismo single plate clutch + nismo flywheel from another member here. Went to my mechanic, asked him - he said it should be about 500$ for all of that. My mechanic is in hornsby, PM me if you want more details.

Yeah I know that, but what are you're thoughts on this that's all, I mean if there is enough reason to go to NPC I'm always up for it, I got a quote from there today although I have never used them before so I'm not sure on them, Jim B is the one that told me to just go the Exed, Hornsby is abit of a mission I'm in Rockdale, so does anyone know of anyone closer to me, thanks.

You're going to get 2 or 3 recommendations to buy an NPC clutch, 2 or 3 to buy one from JB, a couple for Nismos of various sorts and probably a couple of others. After this you will no doubt go and do your original post's suggestion.

Hahah great reply. That's pretty much what happens on half the threads started on car forums (on every subject, not just clutches).

Heaps of people run NPC clutches so go with them. If it stuffs up, you can get angry at NPC and the fanboys. If it works fine, you can become said fanboy ;)

Which one should I go for with the npc.

Cushioned button h/d kit $992.20

5 puk carbotic h/d kit $907.50

They are different options for a reason. Ring them and tell them what you want from a clutch, then buy the one they tell you to.

HOLY FUARK that's exxy...

go to them directly over the phone and talk to Doug, it's cheaper than whatever prices you got there.

If you're never going past 300kW and it is driven on the street often, get the organic.. the carbotic is "interesting" to drive although both have about the same pedal effort as a stock clutch (hence awesome).

I've used:

  • Exedy Sports Ceramic (3 Puk version) with NC10T - expensive, too heavy
  • Exedy Sports Organic with NC10T - expensive, too heavy, died in 2 years (didn't like my driving style)
  • RPM - biggest croc of shit, plate was good but the pressure plate was farked, so I got rid of the lot
  • UAS - Button - He's a trader here, no comment
  • Xtreme Clutch - Piece of shit, uneven wear from homo looking pressure plate

Hey John thanks for the reply I got the price via email, what do you mean by the carbotic being interesting? Is that a button clutch, pretty good price compared exedy and xtreme, I'll call Doug in the morning and let use know, what do you guys say about a lightened flywheel, thanks.

Go the NPC 10" sprung button. Soft enough pedal and great clutch. I just pulled mine out after having it a few years and apart from normal wear it looked great. No hot spots or damage whatsoever. Sent it for a rebuild to save me pulling the box again later and have it back in less than a week.

They have been great to deal with

Also recommend getting one of their lightweight flywheels

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
