i had a quick search this morning but running out of time.

has anyone changed there clutch on a rs4s and if so what did u use, how much and is it any good etc?

can anyone also confirm the rs4s has the r33 gtr box and front and rear diffs. if so, should i just be looking for a r33 gtr clutch or is the 260rs clutch more heavy duty for pulling extra weight?

any info or links would be appreciated. i have to drive my car quite slow to avoid the clutch slipping in high gears.

I put in a cushion button clutch but I cant remember if it was an xtreme or exedy. I am pretty sure it was a simple R33 GTR clutch. From memory, the heavy duty was a little cheaper but if you are thinking about more poer down the track an want to be able to launch off the line then go the cushion button.

I think the prices were about $1000 for the heavy duty and $1200 for the cushion button.

the cushion button on the stagea is annoying with the extra kerb weight and the pedal effort involved with the clutch we have (i'm sorry i don't know what brand it is). i would recommend a higher clamp organic based on our experiences on the street in this car.

my R33 has a Jim Berry mini monty (or whatever he calls it) with an organic plate and it is a pleasure to drive, light as stock and holding 280rwkw no worries. i can't wait to change the clutch on the stagea to one of similar spec.

I have the same Jim Berry clutch in mine. Was built for 300rwkw. It does not like 4-5000rpm launches. It slips and smells a bit, but does smoke all four :)

I think with flywheel machining and a few bits I was missing was around $850.

You do have to supply your old clutch for him to rebuild it.

Just remember they are "pull" type and cost more than push type.

wow this guy has got a reputation round here.

aight il give him a call today. so i take it it wont cost me an arm and a leg,to get my clutch to him and back. just sucks i need the car almost every day i might have to think about painting my datto and registering that so i can have the car off road for a bit.

ill be kidding myself thinking i can change it my self with out a hoist. i think there would be too much swearing and anger involved. anyone got a recomendation for fitment in adelaide? bare in mind if they have to pull it out and wait for the rebuild?

call jim and he will probably still be on the phone when your clutch returns. he does like to talk.

check with him whether you really need to supply the old clutch. i didn't for the R33.

i know what i'll be getting when my time comes then :)

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
