Hey guys.

I've tried a search on the forums but no posts quite answer the question.

What exactly is this?

As i am looking for a new clutch (maybe exedy series or ORC 709D)

For the ORC it states that "In order to make this clutch Push to Pull a geniune Clutch Kit is needed"

What is pust to pull or pull to push?

And what are out clutches setup as from factory?

All GT-R's from late 91 onwards use pull type clutches- the clutch fork, via the thrust bearing, pulls on the pressure plate rather than depressing it. It allows a higher clamping force for the same spring pressure owing to the way the pressure plate fingers are fulcrumed. Helpful in an AWD car. Most manual cars just use a push type clutch. Not sure about ur GTT though. Someone will post the answer in a sec I'm sure.

I didn't think it had anything to do with clamping pressure. It's more to do with space, the pull type assembly is much more compact, alot of late models cars use it WRX pajero and magna and I think series II r33 onwards.

My thoughts.

ahh cool.

Just had my clutch replaced under warranty and found that someone in Japan did a conversion.

It was a Pull...but now it's a Push type.

Probably happened when they fit the ORC twin plate clutch in...

meh...

They said thatn when i order clutched i have to ask for the R32 and R33 type clutches???

Everything about a 'Pull' type is better than a 'push' type..

Push type are an old design.

Pull type are harder to install.

Pull type will result in a higher pressure clamp on the pressure plate, but they also have more efficient leverage at the bearing, so results in a lighter pedal.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
