I got my clutch from the horsepowerinabox previous owner Tim Possingham.

It cost me $600 even which was a fairly good deal as I have known him for quite some time.

 

The same clutch is being run in a few cars, one supra making 318rwkw & whatsisnames R33 making at one stage 299.1rwkw then it went down to 260rwkw then back up to around 280rwkw. Its held so far so good. I think it also comes down to your driving style.

Both of the cars mentioned making high power are driven nicely. No big clutch dumps or gear slaps. Making that sort of power you wouldn't really want to be slapping gears around anyhow.

 

I think it also has a lot to do with the flywheel you use with the clutch.

 

The clutch plate looks slightly different to the one in the pic (the puks being smaller on mine)

I think this is the same as the one I am running.

Mine is a 1 tonne clutch. Unsure if this is but. The pedal is very heavy.

Too heavy to sit with your foot on it, and flex's the flywall quite a bit.

I am thinking of making up a bit of a spacer to distrubute the load over a larger surface area. :)

Its not to bad I suppose, it is most definately streetable but can be a pain in the arse in peak hour traffic but launching and driving hard it is quite nice to drive.

 

I'll post a couple of pics.

I have that same 9 puck cushioned ceramic in my car and it hold over 300rwkw also. It is a bit jerky in heavy traffic tho but i am rather happy with it!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
