R34 Gtt Clutch And Installation

Hey guys well there goes my clutch in my R34 GTT Series 2.

Currently its got 200rwkw but soon to hopefully be 300rwkw.

Spoke to a few reputable clutch dudes, and they told me to go a Exedy R33 GTR race clutch as the r33 gtr clutches have a higher load clamp which will aid in holding in the power.

What if I just go for a R33 GTR Solid button or Cushion button? if so what would you recommend? It's my daily although I'm pretty rough.

Second thing, what are some good trustworthy workshops in Sydney to fit them as I have really stuffed my back and can't do it myself anymore.

I've been quoted $900 to replace clutch, machine the flywheel, new gearbox oil & rear main seal, this is by the workshop that usually carries out the work on my car and tuned it, it just seems a little too steep for me, normally it would be $400 for labor, $90 to machine a flywheel and around $100 for the oil and thats max for the oil, how much is a rear main seal?

What do you guys think I should be paying to get this service and also what are you're recommendations on the clutch.

Also should I get a lightened flywheel? any side effects of getting a lightweight flywheel? I'm used to N/A so normally it's the better thing to do although with turbo I'm not sure, as it will be less load I'm guessing the turbo will be laggier? should I just leave the standard flywheel?

Please help me ASAP as this is my daily driver and I need to get started on it asap, thanks.

^haha excellent reply as always!

I'm in your same shoes, except i'll never breach 200kw (if ever), and I recently snapped up the Nismo single plate clutch + nismo flywheel from another member here. Went to my mechanic, asked him - he said it should be about 500$ for all of that. My mechanic is in hornsby, PM me if you want more details.

Yeah I know that, but what are you're thoughts on this that's all, I mean if there is enough reason to go to NPC I'm always up for it, I got a quote from there today although I have never used them before so I'm not sure on them, Jim B is the one that told me to just go the Exed, Hornsby is abit of a mission I'm in Rockdale, so does anyone know of anyone closer to me, thanks.

You're going to get 2 or 3 recommendations to buy an NPC clutch, 2 or 3 to buy one from JB, a couple for Nismos of various sorts and probably a couple of others. After this you will no doubt go and do your original post's suggestion.

Hahah great reply. That's pretty much what happens on half the threads started on car forums (on every subject, not just clutches).

Heaps of people run NPC clutches so go with them. If it stuffs up, you can get angry at NPC and the fanboys. If it works fine, you can become said fanboy ;)

Which one should I go for with the npc.

Cushioned button h/d kit $992.20

5 puk carbotic h/d kit $907.50

They are different options for a reason. Ring them and tell them what you want from a clutch, then buy the one they tell you to.

HOLY FUARK that's exxy...

go to them directly over the phone and talk to Doug, it's cheaper than whatever prices you got there.

If you're never going past 300kW and it is driven on the street often, get the organic.. the carbotic is "interesting" to drive although both have about the same pedal effort as a stock clutch (hence awesome).

I've used:

  • Exedy Sports Ceramic (3 Puk version) with NC10T - expensive, too heavy
  • Exedy Sports Organic with NC10T - expensive, too heavy, died in 2 years (didn't like my driving style)
  • RPM - biggest croc of shit, plate was good but the pressure plate was farked, so I got rid of the lot
  • UAS - Button - He's a trader here, no comment
  • Xtreme Clutch - Piece of shit, uneven wear from homo looking pressure plate

Hey John thanks for the reply I got the price via email, what do you mean by the carbotic being interesting? Is that a button clutch, pretty good price compared exedy and xtreme, I'll call Doug in the morning and let use know, what do you guys say about a lightened flywheel, thanks.

Go the NPC 10" sprung button. Soft enough pedal and great clutch. I just pulled mine out after having it a few years and apart from normal wear it looked great. No hot spots or damage whatsoever. Sent it for a rebuild to save me pulling the box again later and have it back in less than a week.

They have been great to deal with

Also recommend getting one of their lightweight flywheels

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
