Ive got a r33 gtst with 230kw at wheels what would be a good clutch that would suit my car?? And is it easy to fix my 4th gear crunch at same time?

Dont know about your 4th gear crunch...but I have a brass button clutch (5puck, sprung centre, 1400kg pressure plate) and it drives like a normal clutch, not bitey and not a pain in traffic....and before everyone asks...yes, it is a brass button clutch!! Its awesome and I can spin all the way to 150kmph in 3rd gear. It chirps all 5 gears if I want or I can drive it normally everywhere. I paid $480 including flywheel machining and bearing. It doesnt slip at all and an associate has the same in his 400hp FJ20 ute and lets just say he drives it like a maniac on slicks doing burnouts and races...it is still in the after 2 years!

OK good info on the clutches. Just wana know should the crunching problem be fixed when i change the clutch do u need to take the gearbox down anyway?? Because i dont wana change clutch and find out it would of been cheapier to do the gears at the same time.

It'll be the syncro's.

Mine is the same when its cold. A gearbox recon will set you back up to $1500. So it might be worth doing it all t once.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
