getting mine fitted at gastune next week. i am supplying cerametallic 5 puck button, fluid and bearing. so just labour and i have been quoted $360 and that includes swaping over the gearbox.

that is not really any more work once you have the old box out.

Shezz for that price I'll get a Jim special and let them install it. Then again being a GTR the price will probably double.

ive already ordered the clutch kit, so ill go check out gastune n trojan n see how much they quote me on installation..

reason im not changing it myself is, ive also been told by a few mechanics that, to drop the gearbox u need to tilt the engine forward a bit to be able to get to the bolts in between the firewall and the engine.. is this true? anyone changed a clutch on an R33 GTST here?

i am not a mechanic by any means, but another sau member on here told me this

Undo all the plugs on the box. remove the like slave cylinder. Remove box cross member bolts and box bolts. Access the top ones using an extra long extension. If you can't get it in, use a transmission jack with rubber on the sump to tilt the motor slightly. Rotate the box to clear the starter, and pull it backwards.

hope that helps,

cheers :happy:

Wheres the best place and how much to fit a stock R33 clutch kit for R33 GTST?

being that i called nissan about 2-3 weeks ago, and they quoted me $600 for a stock nissan clutch and that 1 of the 3 parts was in japan - i'd just go an exedy hd organic clutch. Same price and well it will handle more than the nissan job.

got mine fitted at Belconnen Discount Tyres. 2.5 hours labour.

Talk to Trojan Motorsport as they can supply & fit a clutch to suit your driving needs & not just a clutch they stock. John knows more about skylines than anyone I've met! Mention that you were refered by Fifth Gear Motorsports and they should look after you!

Yep Dereck better be right, I'm booked in for a Jim Berry clutch replacement there as well.

Thanks for ur help guys, went today and talked to John at Trojan Motorsports n booked it in for next week.. He seems like a good bloke and knows his skylines..

    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
    • lol that caught up a year quickly! good to see you on the track again, hoping to do it myself one day
    • Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
