Im buying a new clutch for my Series 2 RS4 S and just wanted to confirm at that it is the same as an R34 GTT pull type clutch 250 x 25.5 x 24

It will fit

I personally would at least go a R33 GTR as it has a higher clamp pressure

Esp because of the 1800kg stagea.

its r34 gtt/gtr and also r33 GTR clutch that should fit. also isnt the rs4s a heap lighter than 1800kg? mine was put on a scale and returned 1602kg with 1/4 tank of petrol.

1600 or 1800kg doesn't really matter. The extra 200-300kg and AWD is the killer over a lighter RWD is the problem

I have had to change my clutch twice. First one was 3200lb and died after one trip to the drags. I now run 4200lb clamp pressure and carbontec plate, 50% more then a stock GTR (approx 2800lb?) clutch. No slip now

R34 GTR clutch is not exactly the same.

either way its a brick, agreed. my clutch is starting to slip slowly, i dont know if its standard or aftermarket yet, but was running 220kw pretty well.

i thought the r34GTR clutches did fit in the gearbox, except for certain triple-quad plates that had trouble fitting.

what's the pricing on clutches?

I bought a exedy heavy duty organic clutch, and got it fitted for $1200. Through the only shop here that would touch an import. Don't know if that's good or not, but given they were the only one who would touch it, they probably price gouge a little bit.

I recommend against the exert heavy duty organic, only rated to 376kw and slips like a whore.

at the moment mine is basically stock, but clutch holds really well, mind you as i say it is very new. has held up to a few hard launches so far.

Out of curiosity - How does he know this ? What, everytime you go there he seperates your gearbox from the engine to see how much meat is left ? or does a simple clutch dump with revs which will fry even a new stock clutch ?

Mine slipped when i first bought the car with over 3500rpm and a soft dump of clutch. I have had it for over 2 years and still have not replaced it ! (and i don't drive like a granny either :D)

this is making me think if mine is stock, i have never had my gbox off, but i have clutch dumped in awd from 7krpm and it slipped quickly but grabbed right back.

aftermarket anyone?

I had a stock R33 GTR clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry (Race Clutch) to suit 300RWKW and it died after taking it to the drags with approx 8-9 hard launches with 240rwkw. Pressure plate was approx 3000lb, organic plate

It did slip at drags and no tyre spin

Had the clutch rebuilt again to 4200LB with Carbonic sprung puck plate. No slips at all at drags with 260rwkw

Went well all day and dropped 1/2 sec, but had major first gear wheel spin. Used it for the last 4 months. Was meant to be good for 400RWKW.

Last week, dumped it, 1st and 2nd..........now it won't change gear at all now.

Clutch related problem and yet to pull gearbox out and find out what went wrong.....

Cost of each rebuild is approx $850. Need to find a better solution...

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
