Tried the search and it didn't help

I've got the Gearbox out of my GTR so is probably a good time to replace the clutch

I was wondering where is the best place to get a replacement clutch?

I DON'T want anything too heavy as an old motorbike injury smashed my left foot and anything too strong kills me in traffic.

The clutch must be driveable too so chances are I will just go std unless I get a recommendation

Cheers

Thanks for the offer Mike

Just got some good news that the box doesn't need to be rebuilt at present.

Had a problem crunching into 4th gear at reasonable pace gearchange.

Thought baulk ring may be broken but may have just been glazed and mech was able to deglaze it by driving it.

Don't need a clutch just yet but at least I know what my options are...definitely want to keep the stock feel.

Cheers

Chris,

Can you elaborate on that one a little? I've got a small crunch like that into 4th - glazed? and deglazing by driving it?

I'm interested....

Depending on what mods you do to the GTR , the clutch that Ross does at Auto clutch in Osborne Park is very good.

If you are leaving the engine with mild 300rwkw-ish power then one of those centre sprung 8 puck metal/ceramic units with just a standard new pressure plate will work nicely.

A mistake many make with the clutch is to upgrade the clamping force when the only issue is with the heat/friction capabillity of the clutch friction plate. The factory clamping pressure is quite reasonable, the GTR isn't a 3 pot pizza car afterall.

A good chrome molly flywheel is also worth bunging in. It will at least reduce some of the strain on the gearbox shifts and keep the old clunker box syncros in slightly better shape as it increases accelleration. They are also a damn side stronger & harder faced than the cast iron stock flywheel so as to suit the more aggressive metal/ceramic friction material.

What he said ^^^^.

I had a xtreme 9 puck cushioned ceramic + 950kg pressure plate + 5.5kg chromolly flywheel installed. After running in, the weight is just like stock, and just a tad bit more bitey than the standard.

Oh yeah, installed by Ross @ autoclutch.

Ditto.

I've got a crunch into 4th when above 4000rpm.

Ross at AutoClutch is very good, he just rebuilt my OS Giken tripple plate and it's not that bad to drive at all, even without a sprung centre.

I don't know what the mechanic did.

I assume trying to gently force the car into gear and make the syncro work and maybe unglaze it if that is the problem.

Will let you know how it goes as I've only driven it a short distance so far.

Am considering changing the oil to redline or royal purple.

Does anyone know if an xtreme button clutch will slip on high rpm launches - say with 400hp at the engine?

im running that clutch with 300 - 310 @all 4 wheels and have done a few 7 k launches and the clutch hasnt slipped once

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
