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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
