im goin 2 put a new clutch in my rb25det (neo if that makes a differecne) since i have everything out

i was talking to the bloke at the clutch shop about it and he suggested a brass button clutch with 6 buttons over an organic one, because if you give it a squirt regularly i would wear the organic clutch away very easily... i was concerned about the driveability and durability of the brass button clutch... how long does this clutch last and when it does shit itsself will i need to get the flywheel re-machined... also how hard is it to drive in traffic... i want it to be a nice to drive car not kangarooing up the road because of this clutch

thanks everyone & have a good x mas

I went to a clutch specialist here in canberra, and what clutch they suggested to me, i got. Ended up being $854 fitted for an excede clutch.

You need the fly wheel machined, otherwise it wont mesh correctly 80% of the time (you get mad shudder).

You'll adapt to the brass button clutch, and it might be a little heavy to start off with... but will pay off in the long run. Mines an organic clutch, and at first i was very hoppy with it:) Now i can launch it very nicly.

nar pretty much stock neo motor... will run standard boost for now but will upgrade turbo when this one shits its self... modifications will be usual stuff 3" zorts, pod, chipped ecu. ect ect might get it port matched to improve flow later on aswell as a arc smic and some sort of crazy computer (still undecided)... but for now just want to get it running reliable and stock so i get used to the power of the neo

also driveability in traffic will the 9 button clutch be smoother than a 6... i dont want it to be a pain to drive in traffic

get a jim berry clutch, spoke to him and can still retain alot of driveability and no aching left leg after driving and mine has just under 400rwkw which he says this particular one will be fine for it..

ask adrian (2rismo) he used jim berry clutch, its a perfect feel daily driven clutch and he runs 11s

I've just recently replaced my exedy HD clutch with a brass button clutch with 6 buttons. I think the driveability of the brass button clutch is actually easier and smoother to drive with day to day around town than my old clutch. Both are very heavy on the left foot but u get used to it.

I was told that the brass button wouldn't last as long as an organic but organic clutch heats up and begins to slip after a few launches. So far, button has been great. Bout $100 more.

Can't tell u how long gonna last though....

I got one too. Dead set awesome clutch. And one of my mates has a full custom one from him in his 3sgte corolla.

Very bitey, but so soft to the foot.

To get his number just google his name. At least give him a ring.

I'm using xtreme 9 puk. I'd buy it again.

Organic = weak if you're running 200rwkw IMO.. plus heat = no take up. Organic is what people should use in a STOCK car.

If you're running extra boost I would suggest atleast a setup similar to the xtreme 9 puk with 860kg pressure plate. Cubes runs the same clutch with 1100kg pressure plate with his rb30 and he's only said good things.

I wouldn't bother with a brass button as it's old school. Just get a sprung centre with 9 or 6 puks (the less puks the harder the pickup will be) and you'll be right.

Having said that a lot of people will say using a brass button you'll get used to it - which is true, but why make it hard for yourself when you don't need to?

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
