Why Do Exedy Clutches Not Fit Series2 R33?

[RANDY]

Noone can tell me why Exedy clutches don't fit series 2 R33s! I've asked 5 people selling all sorts of Exedy clutches, but they don't know. At least everyone is honest and doesn't remove the "R33 92-95" bit.

Some guy on eBay just replied to me with "it will fit". Rather contradictory!

Does anyone know why Exedy clutches all claim they'll fit up to 95 models, but no later?

The push vs pull clutch arrangement?

[RANDY]

Are series 2 R33 clutches opposite to the series 1???

And then why is it only Exedy clutches that claim this. (i've seen 6 new clutches advertised, and each seller pastes that text in their description)

LOL!

And thanks... I've seen 6 different people (3 on SAU, 3 on eBay) post up Exedy button-clutches, and the description always says something along the lines of "R33 up to '95".

It's just weird that they all got this info from SOMEWHERE (suspect Exedy site?) and pasted it up.

[RANDY]

Me? No. I never said they didn't. I'm just asking why so many other people say they don't.

Check the for sale section for exedy clutches if you want to ridicule someone.

until '95 r33s use a push type clutch

after '95 r33s use a pull type clutch

in your search for clutches you will no doubt come across both types

[RANDY]

Thankyou, Greg

I guess it has to be something to do with that =-]

Hey Guys

I would really like to kill this rumour once and for all, the pull style clutch was not introduced into the none GTR range until the R34. All previous GTS-ts, including the R33 GTS25-t, use the same push setup. Also all R32 GTR manufactures until March 1993 also used an interchangeable unit.

If anyone wishes to put this to the test this, with a clutch purchased from us, and I am found to be wrong I will offer a 110% refund. This offer will stand until I have egg on my face If you wish to take the challenge then head over here to look at the clutches available. Unless stated SAU members can take 10% off the price. I can be contact via either PM, email or phone 0400797687.

Regards,

Andrew Sullivan

Interesting... I was told directly by Exedy sales people that Series II GTS25ts use a pull type but GTS25s used a push type the whole way through.

... it will be interesting to see if you need to make a 110% payment

[kudos.motorsports]

If you're willing to take the challenge then I'm ready to hand the cash over if I'm wrong.

[Greg]

I would definitely give it a go but I have already purchased a new Exedy clutch for my RB25DE (not the engine we are discussing anyway)

Someone take Andrew up on this offer!!

[RANDY]

That's a bold statement, and i'm willing to believe it because a few people have actually bought and used Exedy clutches in their series 2 R33's.

I have found Greg to be correct also, finding a lot of proof that the series 2's are the pull-type.

Mechanically, I'm not clear as to where the pull or push originates. My clutch slave pushes on the fork, witch then pulls the pressure plate away from the friction plate. It looks to be the same as my mates R32 GTR... so i'm at a loss with that!

[kudos.motorsports]

It's a bold statement, but I would make it if I wasn't sure I was correct. Following are the clutch engagement setups for both early and late model R33 GTS25-t and the R34 GT-t. Please take note of the position that the bearing carrier is seen. You will notice that in a pull setup (R34) that the bearing carrier is on the rear of the clutch fork while in a push setup its on then engine side. Also note that there is no difference between the R33 setups.

The offer still stands if anyone wants to try and prove me wrong.

[RANDY]

So you're saying that they are both push-type.. both series1 and 2?

In which case I really don't understand why a lot of people advertise Exedy clutches for R32 and R33 series 1 when they infact fit series 2.
