Hi All,

Well my clutch booster was leaking, causing the old un-even idle issue etc so i needed to replace it.

Contacted Nissan and the genuine R33 GTR Clutch booster cost around the $600 mark.

I found out that Repco are able to source an identical Nissan genuine part for $215 delivered. Both the faulty factory booster and the one repco supplied are identical but the part numbers are different.

The new Repco supplied part number is 300630-05U01. Repco's internal part number for the part is the same as this without the "-".

Cheers,

Ian

No i didn't have them check up on that. It might be from an R32 GTR, a patrol, or a 300zx. When I started researching the part these were the other nissans that I found also used boosters.

I'm just glad I didnt have to give nissan another donation. This allows me to do the complete redline fluid change on the GTR without denting the bank balance quite so much.

Cheers,

Ian

I bought one from Nissan a while ago for about $150, just the booster not including the master though.

What's a clutch booster?

You don't have one in your car Adam, all GTRS have them , Just like brake boosters, less effort to push it down .

Landcruisers have them in some models but they use 2 heavy springs for assistance now ( done away with the booster ).

I was just going to put a slightly larger slave cylinder in my car to lighten the clutch. Maybe I could put a GTR booster on?

Too hard

You will need to recess the fire wall 40mm for the booster and mod your clutch pedal

Nismo make a larger slave for a lighter pedal

Don't bother , use the larger slave and it will give you better feel , the take up point will be less sudden.

or just do leg press on the left leg alot more at the gym.

05U in the part number denotes GTR, it probs is for a GTR, Nissan just have some whacked prices sometimes like the front bar lip is $400+, but a head gasket is $52. They are all over the shop.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
