I'm putting all these rumors to rest.....;

****************************************************

R33 GTST 1993, Manual

THIS CLUTCH WILL ONLY FIT AN OLDER TYPE SKYLINE WITH THE PULL TYPE CLUTCH ON YOUR SLAVE CYLINDER.

****************************************************

Now theres seems to a bit of confusion going on from the last posts about clutches.

Back in May my clutch went....I researched around and sourced a new clutch.

The clutch is rated at 1500kg, heavy Duty Daiken NISSAN PATROL CLUTCH.

This clutch is interchangable with my Skyline and is half the price nearly.

Different name on the box but its the same shit only different price.

The clutch was worth $300.00 from SLACKS CREEK BRAKE AND CLUTCH (See Geoff)

GAVIN WOOD installed the clutch and through out bearing & oil for $290

The feel of the clutch pedal is great. The position of the clutch pedal is great.........just like a new clutch is supposed to behave.

When I drive it hard it doesnt slip or do anything stupid.

I can drop the pedal at 3 g's and the back wheels light up pretty quick.

I highly recommend it if you have a mild to standard liner.

AND Its not 1.2 cm or 0.004mm off the floor !- Come on guys.

Any further poblems or questions u can email me; swordfish19792002 @yahoo.com.au

Very interesting! A couple of questions though - (1) When did Skylines go from the pull to push type clutch? (2) What is the standard clamping pressure of the normal factory clutch? (3) Can any Nissan dealer get these in for around that price?

JimX,

(1) When did Skylines go from the pull to push type clutch?

>>> I think 1995 onwards....double check with Gavin Woods, labrador QLD first.

(2) What is the standard clamping pressure of the normal factory clutch?

>>> standard is 650-700kg

(3) Can any Nissan dealer get these in for around that price?

>>> Yes they can I think they were more expensiver of hand than Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch.

I tried Nissan on the Gold Coast and I think they were $55 more or something....Can't remember though.

Put get the part number first before u start ringin for prices.

swordfish u mean ur skyline has a push clutch dont u ? early mods have push late mods have pull my r33 gtr has pull ( the slave cil pushes to engine so it pulls the clutch away from it hence the name pull ) .

by the way all old cars had push and most late mod cars have pull

got my clutch done on tuesday;

been taking a bit of getting used to as its fully engaged about an inch of the floor;

liking it though, feels way quicker, perhaps the old clutch was slipping more than i though;

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
