hey all,

I've researched a little bit about these Nissan Patrol Clutches which heaps of people have used and are meant to be a straight fit into a skyline, stronger than stock and feel quite ood (as I've read)!!

Has anyone in Vic installed one of these?

What do you think of it if you have?

I was thinking of getting one, cos if they are good, I can get them for $200 and install for $250 - $450 for a brand new clutch is a sweet deal! :D

Ive heard that you have to specify "heavy duty" when you order the clutch or else you just get the normal one. I think I heard this from max? not sure though..

I've had it done.

Yes, the part no. is R173N, get the Heavy Duty version, its a little more but def worth it.

The clutch feels great, actually lighter feel than the stock one

Not sure about the R32 GTR, but I remember reading that it uses the same clutch as the R33 GTSts...

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I just tried to order a Patrol clutch from 3 Nissan dealers, and all of them said that R173N was an invalid part number. It was probably for an aftermarket clutch they said. Does anyone have the exact details of the clutch (or a serial number that works) so I can order it?

Thanks,

Michael

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
