What clutch to upgrade?

323ian · #1 10-01-2008, 13:03

I see that an S13 clutch fits a S12 is this correct?
If so is it the early S13 clutches or the later ones as i see there are two types listed for the S13?
I need a clutch for the S12 for use on the track.
Any help appreciated.

this is the one i, and before a few others, have- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-S...QQcmdZViewItem but i only paid about £100 for it from an online store, as opposed to ebay, unfortunately i cant remember which store it was

Don't get a 2.0 litre one though.

That is very cheap for an exedy clutch on that link.

my luk clutch lasted well.

Luk/Exedy clutches are really good value and i was impressed by them. You shouldnt need anything stronger than one of them on the ca18et unless your trying to beat the BHP record

Good Link, out of interest has anyone ever done a list of directly changeable parts from S13/14/15 and other makes.

That would make life a lot easier for all the members.

I know making parts fit and modifying parts is all part of the fun but this would take out endless trauling of threads and asking shops for people who may just want to get in and enjoy driving these GREAT retro cars.

Personally I'm all for modding and making things fit with my BIG HAMMER,

Watch out for my GULF colours S12 coming soon (painting it Tomorrow)

either fits, there was a redesign of the release bearing but they're interchangeable.

Be careful of buying exedy clutches on ebay, there are a lot of fakes on there and a lot of people have been stung

S13 is directly swappable with S12!

Step one remove S12 from wheels.
Step two add S13 onto wheels.

ok I will slap myself . . .

Thanks for all the help guys.
I will be buying one from that link which was posted up as that price is better than the ebay prices.

The idea about interchangeable parts is a very good idea and would be a usefull addition to the site.
