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..
