Hi.
I need a new clutch for my gearbox.
It is a factory smallbox behind RB20DE NEO.

What options do i have?
If iam not mistaken the gearbox should be the same as in R32 GTST and Nissan S14/S15?
I found some Xtreme Clutch Stage 1 for S14/S14 (i dont know if you know the brand) (UK)

OR...is the clutch same as in the bigbox from RB25DET?

 

Thank you!

If it's a factory 20de manual probably has the 6 bolt flywheel in which case the det clutches won't work as they're 9 bolt.

Really? That's piss weak. I didn't know they hobbled the shitboxen that badly.

OK. So probs need to buy a flywheel too. But that's not too bad.

Yep, yeah would need to do the flywheel although the 6 bolt NA clutch can handle a 20de if just wants to replace the stocker.

Ok so no 4cyl clutch...

Yeah it is a factory manual.

So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?

 

EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776
Is this ok?

 

EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap)
It will be there for a little while.
Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

Hi.
I tried to find anything to go be.
I found this: https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type

Can i use this clutch kit in my case? 
Engine RB25DET NEO
Gearbox "Small box" FS5W71C
It is a Push type clutch a and gerabox(slave cyl)

That's essentially the clutch that I have behind my Neo. Big box of course, but it won't matter that you have a small box, as you won't have it for too long.

Being behind an RB25DET, we know he won't have the small box for long at all...

So it should work in my case? 
I does not say R34 but it say push(i have push gearbox/clutch right now)

No i wont...and i do not drift/race or do anything crazy with car so even a small box should be ok for a couple of months

Are you planning to ever come on boost with the RB25DET?

The torque of the motor alone will break the little box. It's not a matter of if, it's when.

That's because R34 RB25DET is a pull clutch gearbox.

I have that clutch, behind 25Neo, in front of R33 gearbox.

I have brand new R34 turbo gearbox, in a box (cardboard) in the shed right now, and it will be getting used with the same engine and clutch, because I also have, in a much smaller box next to it, the front plate to convert the new box to push clutch.

A couple of months of gentle driving will be fine. There is a risk that you will kill it. A heavy workout will probably kill 3rd gear. Continued use will wreck the input shaft bearing.

Hi

I wrote to the xtreme clutch and they wrote me this:

Thanks for contacting us.
I already spoke with engineering team and was told that RB25DET with a non-turbo fs5w71c gearbox would not work. It would not hold the horsepower and does not bolt to that engine without some sort of adapter plate or modified bellhousing.
 

 

I know about the power(it will hold stock power)

But i rly dont know about not bolting to the engine without some adaptor??

Is this true? I thought it should mate up without any problems...

It's not true. RBs only have one gearbox bolt pattern. I mean, I was surprised that there was a different clutch bolt count on the weak NAs, but that's on the flywheel, which is not part of the engine.

Yeah i thought so too...but iam kinda confused what is what and what to get to make it work.

I know i need a push clutch(i get that with that kit i post) 

It has flywheel too and from what i found it should "mate" with RB25DET NEO.

But i dont rly know about the bolt count cuz i saw many videos about clutch on RB25DET/NEO and all of them has 6 bolt pattern...

Like here for example...

And if i google clutch kit for RB25DET NEO like "all of them" has 6 bolt flywheel...

 

Look, it's very simple. The 6 bolts or the 9 bolts are interface between the clutch and the flywheel. Any flywheel will bolt to any RB crank - the bolts in the centre there are the same same.

So, you just need teh flywheel to suit the turbo clutch. That's all. No more to think about. Get both, boost off into the sunset. (only without the boost).

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
