gday chaps , got my first taste of clutch slipping the other day and my second dose tonight to confirm that its on the way out :D

had a good run though (2 years since i bought the car with it) with highish power so i cant really complain.

this is my first manual car so i dunno how it works, i wont be driving it on high boost till i get it replaced but how long should that be now that i've got some slippage

anyone reccomend a decent clutch for 33gtst with around 225rwkw?

Extreem 9puk Ceramic Cushioned with a 1tonne pressure plate.

The 800kg pressure plate will also easily hold 223rwkw and be a little lighter on the leg.

It really is a nice clutch. Very nice hard grab yet it can still be rode slightly (for a second) before it grabs and gives a couple of slight thumps some times chirping the wheels. Very very streetable.

These clutches are getting around in quite a few 300rwkw RB's & 2JZ's.

Cost me $600.

dude i'm pretty impressed that you managed to keep that clutch going for 2 yrs with 225rwkw being your first manual.....it couldn't have been a stock clutch could it?

I've got an excedy 5-puk brass button clutch - bit of a bitch to drive thru heavy traffic, but its very nice for drifting, bites quite hard.

I just installed an Exceedy full face - will find out what model and let you know if interested. It is rated the heighest for the exceedy full face, sprung hub. (it feels very nice - not hard to drive!).  

cost for me was $550 (for a full clutch kit)

Same here, with the 850kg pressure plate.

It's actually lighter than the stock clutch I had in my GTSt, and it bites really well. Cost 800 installed ($550 for clutch), and that also included replacing the spigot bush.

On the dyno I got 200rwkw, but i have a feeling it is closer to 190..

For street use this clutch it great...

I was going to get the extreem 9 puck ceramic cushioned clutch initially, but i was told to steer clear of it by the person installing it.

Hmm $550 is a nice price.

I went on Cubes advice and ordered the DCBHD for the sr20 with 860kg pressure plate yesterday. That's 9 puk ceramic. The engine is putting out 180-200rwkw (depending which dyno you wanna go by) and will hopefully be closer to the 230rwkw with some EBC action.

Hope it's good - a lot of people seem to use this on SAU (there's a couple of other threads about this in the last month or so).

Zahos - this is the first I've anything remotely bad about them, did that person say anything?

If anyone reads this and wants to know how I went PM me in a few weeks :P

Firstly I was told my driving habbits would chew through the flywheel. I drive in traffic and up steep hills to and from work and tend to sometimes slip it a little, and that the pressure plates are made from inferior materials and can be prone to premature failure.

My driving habbits are what led him to tell me to steer clear.

The premature failure on the pressure plate he has seen in very few cases. On this point he was trying to discourage me from it, didn't tell me I shouldn't get it.

Unless you are really unlucky, you should be fine.

In terms of driving habbits, need to make sure that clutch suits your application. If it does, then I wouldn't worry about anything if I were you.

nah it wasnt, "apparently" and i say that cause thats what the previous owner claimed was that it was.. "apparently" a 33 GTR clutch modified for the gtst, but as i said thats probably not true cause the previous owner was a lying sack of shit... hi turbogtst :wavey:

has always been lovely to drive tho whatever it was

Mine is heavier than the stock GTR clutch and is rated to handle over 300rwkw. I'll check tonight to see what model and rating :rofl:

so if i get one of these but no upgraded flywheel will there be big probs?

All depends on your driving habbits.

It doesn't mean you will need to upgrade it, but just an issue of its longevity if you tend to ride the clutch a little sometimes. I wouldn't worry...

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
