Hey everybody

My clutch is F@#KED. Happened yesterday after i finished tafe. Took a bit of work to get it home. Anyways im gonna need a new clutch, preferably heavy duty or if someone can recommend something better. I dont have a lot of money to spend so take that into consideration, Also im positive my clutch cable snapped so replacing wouldn't be a bad idea either. Im in Ferntree Gully, Eastern Suburbs, are there any places worth considering. Kamikaze motors quoted me $650 fitted. I'd like to fix this asap. So HEEEEELLLLLPPPP.

Cheers

Guesty.

have a chat to chasers www.chasers.com.au they may have a good 2nd hand they can offer you or a new one, irecall some good pricing for a new one. also if its a series 1 r33 you can fit a nissan patrol heavy duty clutch as its the same push or pull type (cant remember). do a search for the nissan patrol and youll find the info you need, im pretty sure it only fits on the series 1 and its good for 200rwkw ish as its heavy duty and good price too as its a local part from most workshops

Clutch cable?? I believe you have an R33, they have a hydraulic clutch system, using a master cylinder and slave cylinder so no cable. New exedy HD clutch fitted from chasers = $850. What is the problem you are experiencing?? is the clutch slipping??? have you lost your clutch pedal?? are you having to force the gearstick into gear when trying to engage/change gears??

The clutch pedal seems to be non existant. Basically it aint doing anything, The clutch was slipping a bit and was about to get replaced, but know, i physically cant force it into gear. I tried putting it in gear then starting it, but it quickly stalled. Sigh... Help.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
