hey peoples,

i have a exedy heavy duty "sports tuff" clutch in my r33 gtst and it has just under 190rwk and its crap. not even a year old and its startin to slip. can someone reccomend me a good clutch?

i like the pedal feel of the clutch i have now. whats better and still retains a heavy yet practical pedal feel, and something that wont slip even if i had 250rwk?

Under what conditions is it slipping?

I've had mine slip once when i tried to load up some revs on the handbrake. I think i had it on there for too long and it heated up to much or something. It wouldn't launch properly for that run, just bog down instead of biting in. Didn't smell to good anyway. But just doing a rolling take off in first or dropping the clutch, there's no slip at all.

A Jim Berry clutch is what you need.

Ive got a single plate R33 GTR type from him, 3800lb clamping pressure (your factory one should have around 1600lb) could handle up to 800hp.

Pedal feels very much like stock being a single plate, as opposed to many multi plate clutches or button type.

I had a Excedy Ceramic button in my GTR which had about 180rwkw and it never slipped once even after other people had driven it and ridden it heaps of times. I had it for about a year then sold the car and it was perfect.

Fitted a ORC PRO CARBON last night and its killer, super light pedal with a progressive take up very liveable as a daily for sure.

Part number ORC-559CC-01N bought it from access performance in melb.

Those exedy sports tuff things are crap, evil pedal and short life. A hyper single, ORC single (i love my ORC's, i found it better than my nismo) or a NISMO (bit pricey) is the way to go, somehting that is a matched set with integral flywheel is the go..

I'm getting a Exedy H/Duty 5-puk cushion button clutch installed in my 33.

Clutch = $460 delivered

Install = $310 inc machine flywheel

Total = $770.

$1100 sounds too much mate?

Your both paying too much!!!

      Gtr r32 tank leaking: can I use stagea whc34 tank

      By Duncan · Posted

      Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
