Just joined your GREAT!! website. Very imfortative and loads of fun.

Here is my first post. I have a R32 GXi Sedan and I am looking for a clutch kit. The engine is the ca18i, 1800cc, n/a. I was wondering if anyone could help me with any brand clutch kits that would work with this setup, and if you could suggest any race clutches.

Heard that race clutches are better suited for wear and tear, and much tolerable than the OEM clutch kit.

Your help is appreciated

R32 Sedan with a CA18??? is this stock?

umm... I am thinking about putting in a stock GTST clutch, imo that is more than adequate for

an NA Car...  

BTW - post photos of your car.. I am curious.

Yep, GXi is the lowest spec R32, came standard with the CA18. There are a few of them running round in NZ. Must be a heap of empty space under the bonnet!

Yup there is a heap of space in the engine bay. That is the motivation to upgrade the motor when the cash makes itself available. It's not a performance engine but it's alot of fun if you are into messing around in a car park.

The chassis plate has the code for the GTS 5 spd gearbox on it. So I guess the GTST clutch should work without any problems.

I was talking to a guy who owns an R32, with much better engine, and he was telling me that any clutch assembly should fit the R32. Just wondering how true this statement is, especially when it comes to my baby with her lil 1800cc knocker.

Have to ask a silly question. Does anyone know the size of the pressure plate and clutch disc, dimensions that is?

Ok I did some research and found out that the S13 has the same gearbox as the GXI R32 skyline. The gearbox is the one from the GTS model (FS5W71C). I have no experience with purchasing a clutch kit. I know I do need the full kit (pressure plate, release bearing, and clutch disc) cause my clutch is slipping like a "you know what".

The car is RWD, does this mean I have to get a special clutch ? The service manual calls for a 225mm clutch disc, but I am not sure about the teeth on the shaft and the clutch disc.

Was checking ACT website and came across a clutch which I thought might work. Anyone shed some light on my predicament.

May i ask why you are wasting your money on this car? it is pointless. save some money and sell your car and getyourself a R32 89 GTS ATLEAST!

Cheers

Thanks for your opinion. Until I can get the cash and sell this car I still need something to drive around, :rant:.

Back on topic, does anyone know how many teeth are on the clutch disc shaft?

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
