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.

ACT Clutch

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?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
