Ive got a r33 gtst with 230kw at wheels what would be a good clutch that would suit my car?? And is it easy to fix my 4th gear crunch at same time?

Dont know about your 4th gear crunch...but I have a brass button clutch (5puck, sprung centre, 1400kg pressure plate) and it drives like a normal clutch, not bitey and not a pain in traffic....and before everyone asks...yes, it is a brass button clutch!! Its awesome and I can spin all the way to 150kmph in 3rd gear. It chirps all 5 gears if I want or I can drive it normally everywhere. I paid $480 including flywheel machining and bearing. It doesnt slip at all and an associate has the same in his 400hp FJ20 ute and lets just say he drives it like a maniac on slicks doing burnouts and races...it is still in the after 2 years!

OK good info on the clutches. Just wana know should the crunching problem be fixed when i change the clutch do u need to take the gearbox down anyway?? Because i dont wana change clutch and find out it would of been cheapier to do the gears at the same time.

It'll be the syncro's.

Mine is the same when its cold. A gearbox recon will set you back up to $1500. So it might be worth doing it all t once.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
