Is The 33 Gtr And 34 Gtr Clutches Different?

[ricknismo]

Possibly due to the getrag box???

I'm not sure,I was going to reco a 33 gtr twin plate for my 34, but I don't want to waste my time.

i always thought they were the same

Not the same Rick. Get a Nismo coppermix twin mate you will be very happy with it, I know they are pricey.

When i looked into this with Jim Berry he said that the clutches are the same but the flywheels are different, due to the bolt patterns etc. The stock R34 is a dual mass flywheel also so cant be machined up.

So you have to change the flywheel when you even get a single plate if the flywheel needs machining at all? And does that mean that a 33 GTR twin which comes with its own flywheel is ok?

Rick I think you will find the spline on the shaft is different so the 33GTR clutch is no good to you .

R34 GTR flywheels are dual mass ( 2 piece ) just like subaru liberty .

They aren't the same.

The best clutch I purchased for the R34 was the Nismo Twin. But since then I've just had Jim Berry rebuild it for me and it's even better than the original.

I agree with that and the latest coppermix is even better.

I spoke at length with wrxhoon and others before deciding that for the mainly commuting and road driving (vs drags or track work), i was better with a single which Jim Berry built for me with uprated pressure plate, and new single mass flywheel. It was obviously cheaper, but was even lighter clutch action and a dream to use on my daily sydney commute. I am really happy, I know wrxhoon is happy with his coppermix, and others will be with theirs, so its probably about application 1st, then decide on the best clutch brand material etc etc.

I spoke to Jim berry and he does go for the single, but at $1800 with flywheel I believe I could get a nengun nismo twin in...unless I can find a better value single which sounds like it needs a flywheel anyway, I might just have to keep saving.

are the nismo twin plates noisy at all? just wondering because a mate of mine has a F6 with a $4000 twin plate from over east which is meant to handle 1000rwhp but at idle its pretty damn noisy. His clutch is very hardcore, but i wouldnt want a clutch in daily driver that was making rattles and what not.

[ricknismo]

see if it goes away with his foot on the clutch, my old ones wasn't too bad

thats most likely to be the gearbox not the clutch if it goes away with the clutch pedal depressed.

its normal for a bit of noise in the gearbox when idleing. put the foot on the clutch and it should go away though.
