looking for a good clutch kit, (pressure plate, friction disc, bearing etc) for a 1998 ER34 25 GT skyline 2 door. has the stock 5 speed trans and rear end but engine has been swapped from the stock RB25DE to a RB25DET

looking at this would it fit correctly?

er34 25gt skylines with neo engine have the same 5 speed trans as er34 gtt skylines with neo turbo engines?

No. The NA box is a skinny little twig. The turbo box is huge. But you can put RB clutches on RBs of any stripe.

 

By the way. That (eBay clutch) is the cheapest, nastiest looking thing I have ever seen. Spend a thousand $$.

ok so the actual transmission (gear box, what ever you call it) is different from a RB25de 25gt NA model and a GTT RB25det turbo model, but any clutch will fit? so I can get a clutch kit that is listed for a GTT R34  and it will fit my trans?

Edited by JC71

The R34 GT (non turbo) gearbox is essentially an RB20 gearbox, very weak and uses a push type clutch. 

 

The R34 GTT gearbox is exactly the same as an RB25DET gearbox, but uses a pull type clutch. 

 

If you are planning on changing to an R34 GTT gearbox/driveline at any point, then don't upgrade the clutch for your current gearbox - it won't be a direct swap without converting the GTT gearbox to a push type clutch.

can any one define what parts and what makes it actually "stronger"

or is it just simply less prone to break when abused?

 

It is heaps bigger. Gears, shafts, bearings.

no matter which trans and therefore push or pull style I end up going with, what is anyone's experience with the brand SPEC for clutches?

or one they can recommend for essential a "stage 1 clutch", looking for stock or a little better, do want to keep the pedal feel as soft and easy /close to stock feel.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
