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 !

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
