So, I've searched quite a bit. There's lots of scattered info on C34 clutches, but it's very hard to get a sense of who's done what etc so I thought I'd kick off an aggregation thread for all things C34 clutch related.

There is, of course, a selfish motivation for this. I need a new clutch but can't decide what to do.

Jim Berry?

Exedy?

NPC?

Xtreme?

Nismo?

Giken?

On top of the info being scattered into the wind, much of it is very old so hopefully this thread will provide a simple way to find up to date info on clutches for Stags.

So to kick things off I'm in need of a new clutch for my S2 RS4S. It's a non-daily so it can be a little less traffic friendly, but I don't want an absolute pig of a clutch (it does get pedaled around for work occasionally). Currently car runs somewhere in the region on 200-220awkw with plans, one day, to aim for 300awkw.

My budget for just clutch (no flywheel or labour) is $700-800.

I am aware that I need a push type clutch. Will any GTR (non-early R32) fit? What are others using and what do people recommend/suggest? Is there anything specific to Stag clutches I should know?

In my s1 c34 manual swap I used an r32 gtr box, r31 RB30 flywheel,- arp bolts.

r31 valeo/extreme clutch, cushion button kit, it was only $400 delivered from sunbury brakes,

Feels like a standard clutch to drive.

(organic flywheel side, brass button pressure plate side, sprung center)

I have the exact same kit in my patrol with RB30DET, with 250hp atw And massive (wheel lifting) torque, And has been pushing 2.2 tonne and 35" tires.

So they can take abit !

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
