seems we had a gig up in the party pit at work last night for clipsal.

so im thinking jarad may've been there?

sounded like it was pretty fun, its always great dealing funny money games, you get to f**k around and be a complete idiot all whilst being paid for it.

so pissed i wasnt rostered to work it, i loved the last function :D

seems i may finally be moving out of this hell hole of a house soon aswell, awesome!

means my skyline purchase might be put off for another year or so though, *sigh*

Has anyone changed the clutch on their 33 (or 32 with 25 box) and can provide some guidance? My clutch is showing signs of saying farewell, and I would like to give it a go myself but have never changed a clutch. Is there special tools needed (aligning tool?) and would it be possible to do it without a hoist? Also, removing the flywheel for machining, how hard is this? and how long would my car be out of action?

I tried to search the DIY section, found some help, but would like to know if anyone local would mind lending some advice and some help possibly :D

Cheers

You'll need a couple of long extension bars for those top gearbox bolts, clutch aligning tool, 2 hydraulic jacks, some rope, spanners, sockets, needle nose plyers or sirclip removers and a mate to give you a hand.

I drain the gearbox oil, remove the tail shaft from the rear of the gearbox, disconnect speedo drive all plugs remove the shifter (via inside the car), starter motor etc

Shove one jack under the rear of the gearbox and tie it up so it won't slip off while rotating the gearbox. One jack up front to help take some weight.

Drop the rear of the gearbox slightly so you can get at the top bell housing bolts easier, remove all bolts then get either side, slide the box out a little, rotate clockwise so the starter lump clears the floor pan and then slide it out while slowly lowering the jacks. ;)

Leave the box under the car and as it is. Remove old clutch and flywheel, have the flywheel faced if you wish and replace spiggot bush (pack the crank end full of grease and use a suitably sized socket and small extension bar + hammer to get the old out)

Smack in the new spiggot, attach flyweel remembering to locktight the bolts.

Loosly bolt up the new clutch, slide the clutch aligning tool in, tighten up the pressure place bolts then slide the gearbox in doing the opposite of what you did to remove it.

Refill with oil. I think thats it. :nyaanyaa:

EDIT: And always plan an escape route incase you drop the box. :D

Cheers for that cubes!

Do you do this in your shed with the car on Jack stands, or is a hoist really more necessary?

Also, where can you get a flywheel machined southern suburbs, and any idea of cost?

Cheers!

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
