I think thats the thing, the three clutches i have had , std, UAS GTR ceramic puck clutch and anoe the Xtreme ceramic puck clutch are all light and not very grabby. So they will die / slip before putting too much shock loading through the box.

A friends misfortune of late has reminded me of what a mechanic told me, dont over clutch the car, as it will kill diffs and gearboxes:)

As for diff i run Castrol SAF-XA, 80w-140 (hopefully a link that works this time:))

id say the xtreme 9 puk ceramic clutch in my car was overkill. It was a xtremely (sorry :D) heavy and a biatch to use in the car park. It also was part of the reason my clutch pedal box split into 3 pieces, popping spot welds etc.

The OS giken twin plate in my car now is a more user friendly clutch, being no way near as heavy, and very nice in the car parks still.

As for the r33 box in the r32...ive gone through it before...but oh well : U need rb20 part of tailshaft that bolts it to diff, custom tailshaft, r33 box yoke, r32 gtr speedo sender, r33 red cog off electronic sender, custom gearbox x member.

Other than that it bolts up, and gearshift sits in the same spot as the rb20 box did.

Quick question. I read about these pull type and push type clutches/boxes? Whats the difference and which one do I need? And which comes out in what? Im just posting in this as its fairly recent. I shall keep searching tho.

as if anyone want to know more about this i have a neo 25 in mine with a r33 g box the box is twice the sze i can carry a 32 box around but 33 box definatly a two man job can help with info on tailshaft actuall i have a spare yoke speedo drive part numbers etx

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
