Hi all, I keep finding more and more things to change when doing a clutch change but my mechanic didn't tell me there were other things that could be changed so wanted to check if I got my list right (let me know if anything is missing):

Full clutch kit that comes with all the components

rear main seal (might as well while its out)

clutch fork

input shaft oil seal

Fly wheel remachined

front and rear input shaft bearing (worth changing?)

 

 

Yeah no pivot ball for the pull type. I went through the same process last year:

 

In the end I just ended up getting the spigot bush and clutch fork. The fork not really being needed as it's solid but thought what the heck and did it anyway. Flywheel came with the clutch. There's also the little rubber dust cover that goes on outside. Which in the end also came with the clutch.

I hope you are getting a good clutch. It makes all the difference for actually enjoying to drive the car :)

Yeah will be a basic exedy heavy duty clutch. Do you know if its worth replacing the input and output shaft bearing? I'm guessing they are behind the input shaft itself before the 4 bolts?

I can't see spigot bush on your list, it is worth always changing that when you do the clutch

That will come in the clutch kit, that's actually the main thing + clutch, I need to change because I'm getting grinding noise at idle and when accelerating at certain speeds but goes away when the clutch is in.

Do you know if input and out shaft bearing is behind the input shaft or it's deep in the gearbox? Wasn't able to find info on it.

Upgrade anything you need to remove, that could help performance.

 

 

Like the exhaust. While you're there, may as well do the turbo since it touches the exhaust too...

Get the tailshaft double checked too...

They are both in the gearbox.....box out if they need replacing

I know the gearbox needs to be removed, but was wondering if it's right behind the input shaft as the amount in labour will be alot cheaper to replace it, but will be alot more if it's buried all the way in the gearbox.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
