Hi

This will probably sound nobbish but what is the difference between button clutches and normal, as i have been driving for years but only just now learning how to drive manual due to finally saving enough to get my 33.

the 33 gtst in question has a lot of aftermarket parts on it including a gtr button clutch :D

I know obviosly being a higher performance clutch it will be harder to drive, what are the advantages to this?

Cheers

I've had a few now with no bad reports.

Can put extra strain on Gearbox's and diffs, due to uncomprimising bite when disengaged....but is reasuring to know when hittin 4th under full load / Boost you are not gettin any slip :P

The 5 puck varietys are a little easier to live with than ones with lesser pucks.

Normally around the $500 mark for a 5 puck brass button for SR's / RB's

See'ya:burnout:

that with the pressure plate is not quite true. one of my friends has a pressure plate that handles over 1200nm in his R33. its not very hard to press down. and its still standard wisko clutch cylinders.

but the 6 button clutch plate is quite harddriven if you slipping much on so it get´s hot.

Instead of having a complete disc for a friction plate, they have a number of "paddles" this increases the clamping pressure relative to the decrease in surface area.....

depending on material the amount of "bite"

Some like 'em, some don't...

If you look on justjap site they have pic. If you are just learning a manual.... you wont know any difference.

Ciao

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
