Hey guys, I have been scouring the forums for the last 2 hours or so trying to find some good advice on clutch upgrades. I have Nismo RS580 turbos and Tomei Poncams fitted. Naturally, the standard clutch has spat the dummy :P

Does anyone have any recommendations for 500-550hp and good pricing for my R33 GTR v-spec?

Thanks in advance, you guys are always brilliant :)

There are like 4 dedicated threads about clutches.

This is how it usually goes down.

Piggaz says nismo twin plate

I say NPC

Some dude comes out the bush and says I have a 4500lb clamp load on my jim berry clutch drivetrain doesnt even cry.

Try scouring the "drivetrain and transmission" section.

( I think a flywheel comes with the Nismo kit).

This.......

I'm sorry but there is a whole dedicated section for Clutches, Gearboxes and so forth. Please post/ask in the right section

Piggaz, you have a way with words Sir :) hahahahaha

What are the normal expected costs on something like that? IS it worth upgrading the flywheel at the same time to a Nismo?

It comes with one.

My coppermix has been in the car since 2005. Over 350 launches, 7000 rpm plus launches. Started life holding 370 kw, now holding 470 rwkw. No rebuilds, no slipping, no nothing. Set and forget.

With the Yen so weak ATM, you should be able to have one at your doorstep for under $2k. You even get a Nismo sticker!!!!!

The sticker is worth the 2k alone!! hahaha Thanks guys, sorry for posting in the wrong area. I have been looking at SAU for a long time now and still struggle sometimes to find the simplest stuff.

Thanks for your help all the same!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
