I think thats the thing, the three clutches i have had , std, UAS GTR ceramic puck clutch and anoe the Xtreme ceramic puck clutch are all light and not very grabby. So they will die / slip before putting too much shock loading through the box.

A friends misfortune of late has reminded me of what a mechanic told me, dont over clutch the car, as it will kill diffs and gearboxes:)

As for diff i run Castrol SAF-XA, 80w-140 (hopefully a link that works this time:))

id say the xtreme 9 puk ceramic clutch in my car was overkill. It was a xtremely (sorry :D) heavy and a biatch to use in the car park. It also was part of the reason my clutch pedal box split into 3 pieces, popping spot welds etc.

The OS giken twin plate in my car now is a more user friendly clutch, being no way near as heavy, and very nice in the car parks still.

As for the r33 box in the r32...ive gone through it before...but oh well : U need rb20 part of tailshaft that bolts it to diff, custom tailshaft, r33 box yoke, r32 gtr speedo sender, r33 red cog off electronic sender, custom gearbox x member.

Other than that it bolts up, and gearshift sits in the same spot as the rb20 box did.

Quick question. I read about these pull type and push type clutches/boxes? Whats the difference and which one do I need? And which comes out in what? Im just posting in this as its fairly recent. I shall keep searching tho.

as if anyone want to know more about this i have a neo 25 in mine with a r33 g box the box is twice the sze i can carry a 32 box around but 33 box definatly a two man job can help with info on tailshaft actuall i have a spare yoke speedo drive part numbers etx

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
