Hey all, i know i can search for this, and to be honest i have, but its getting late, my brains turning to mush and i'm getting things arse end up.

I have an s1 33 gtst everytime i look around and see a bargain cluch going its for a later model. i know there i can convert, the question is whats the best way and what will it cost.

Ok i've see the os giken pull push converter (or was that push pull.. bugger) goes for about 300-500 depending on where u look. is there anything cheaper than this.

And can someone set me straight once and for all on which way around i'm going... it would be push to pull right???

I think the stock OS Giken is push type....and the converting kit is for pull type....

Simon,

The entire R33 range, excluding the GTR, use a push type clutch release mechanism. Below are photos of the both types of set-ups, push and pull. It is irrelevant whether the set-up you're looking at, is a single or multi plate, the pressure plate design will still closely resemble those pictured below.

Pull Type

The only reason your vehicle will have a pull type arrangement is if a gearbox conversion has be conducted using an R34 item. If you are in any doubt then it's an easy job to double check. It's a simple task, look on the drivers side of the gearbox and locate the clutch slave cylinder. If the piston is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle then you have a push set-up, if towards the front of the vehicle a pull. Below is a picture of an R32 GTS-t slave cylinder, your set-up will have two bolts holes on the same side of the slave not one on either side as in the picture. The piston is the silver rod in the lower left hand side of the image.

Cheers for that, helped a lot. I mainly get miffed as every time i find a bit of a bargain clutch wise it tends to be pull type, which it appears is not me.

oh well stocker clutch it is then.

Thanks again all.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
