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 !

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
