So the original clutch is finally starting to give out on the car,

and i was quoted by the mechanic $1000 to put a new clutch in it.

I'm pretty clueless about clutches and he was talking about putting a ceramic clutch in it?

After i did some research apparently ceramic clutches are a pain for daily driving?

But anyway it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction

The cars a 95 r33.

Just put a standard clutch in if the car is standard, and going by the fact you are posting in the NA section I'm assuming the car is pretty basic

therefore as above, standard NA clutch or if you want a little more bite a standard turbo clucth

Im used to driving with a incredibly hard clutch right now, to the point where your leg hurts after awhile.

Will a stock clutch handle a bit of punishing? been dropped etc etc

Other then that i was looking at a cushion button clutch?

Cushion button will probably blow your gearbox.

if your car is std NA then definitely wont need anything special thats for sure...

this. NA skylines aren't really powerful and with mods they aren't going to be that much above stock power. certainly not high enough to need a heavy duty clutch unless you are the type to regularly dump the clutch to chirp the wheels (about all a NA skyline is capable of, LOL). in which case what you should buy is a push bike and hand your licence in. or buy a commodore so you give them a bad image instead of damaging the already poor image imports have

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
