hey guys i need any info or suggestions on a new clutch as possible. my went on me last night in all gears but 1st (and 1st is slipping) so i need a new clutch asap as i have no way of getting around. however my budget is severaly limited so 1k for a clutch is completely out of the question, i need a heavy duty clutch as i will be upping the boost soon anyway. so if anyone knows where to get a good heavy duty clutch without breaking my small budget plaese let me know asap!!!

also any websites u can suggest would be great. ive tried just jap and im looking at about $700 for a good one and $550 for a decent one.

cheers guys.

Andrew.

I have a Exteme single, cushioned mutliple ceramic button one, with a heavy duty pressure plate.

It has seen much abuse and 40,000km of life, and still feels great and doesn't slip

They are about $550 from memory

I got mine from Adelaide Clutch Services, who make them and supply Horsepowerinabox etc.

Cost me about $220 for it to be installed, but I also got a lightweight cromoly flywheel as well so I didn't need any machinging done of the original - I'd say at a guess $250-300 to install it.

Mods are HKS 2510 turbo and all the usual bits, making 200rwkw

A mate of mine (Freebaggin) is making 280rwkw through the same clutch, and whatisname is making 299rwkw, both cars have run 12 sec 1/4's and the clutch has survived no probs

They are a good clutch, and providing you don't ride them they will last for a long time. Ceramic type clutches don't last long if you ride them lots.

I drive mine everyday in city traffic, and after a day or so you get used to the grabbines of it

For the price they are terrific

hahaha so u drive it gently then?? lol.

well this seems like a pretty decent deal. i'll look into it a bit further, but so far the it seems like the best.

yeah it get driven around like I have my mum in the car..............:rant:

I would say for the money, you will be hard to find a better clutch IMHO

If you really need to drive the car but dont have the money for a heavy duty you could always just go for a standard clutch for the meanwhile they are much cheaper. Yeah clutches are a bitch, a decent heavy duty and installation u are looking at like $800ish. Your other option is that nissan patrol 4WD clutches also fit into r33 gts-t's...and they are supposed to be heavy duty and the price is pretty good aswell so you could try that, there are posts in SAU about the nissan patrol clutch, how much it costs and the exact model to order....

ok ive sourced one from melbourne, its an exedy heavy duty ceramic button clutch. for $400 shipped.

i just hope that it is my clutch that is blown, and not something else, i dont want to find out that after fitting it that it was just my slave cylinder.

but seeing as it grabs occasionally but most often just revs out in whatever gear ive selected i cant see what else it could be.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
