throwout bearing

Post by **dcdrifter** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

I moved my transmission a few times since I have had my clip and I cant seem to find the throwout bearing now that I am ready to drop in my engine. My question is this, the clutch from a non-turbo 300zx is interchangeable with an rb25 so could I pick up a throwout bearing for a 300zx and use it with my rb?:help

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

pretty sure it is. 90-96 N/A 300zx

Post by **dcdrifter** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

how sure is pretty sure?

Are we CERTAIN the 90-96 NA 300zx clutch works? I know Night said it did, but with all the controversy with him recently I want a second opinion, has anyone else done it, used it, and not had any problems? The throwout bearing would be good information too

Damn are you my long lost twin. Do we have ESp. I was thinking the same thing. I have to question EVERYTHING he has ever said or presented.

I'm not wasting 350 dollars because I read something Cameron said on a website

I want some other confirmation! I know there are several RB25 swaps on here...Rub, Grumpy, what'd you guys do for clutch upgrades? It's funny that spec-v and I keep thinking so similarly, maybe he IS my long lost brother!...I'm adopted so I dont know if I have any "brothers" or "sisters"

what ever happend to that idiot anyways?

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Check out the other thread about him...it seems he's been having "difficulty" getting people their clips.

Post by **dcdrifter** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

now, now, just because he has been having difficulty getting clips doesnt mean we should cast him out. He hasnt been on the forum lately so dont assume he is done. Cameron knows a lot about rb engines and can be very helpful at times. Give him a chance to explain himself first.

And I have lots of different resources telling me that the n/a 300zx clutch is the same. I am just worried about the throw out bearing!

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

I have a full clutch kit for a na 300zx. i'll try to get some pictures if you want or i can just email them to you. let me know

Krayton, are you gonna swap a RB in your 240?

i also live in tucson and will be doing it soon

and from what i understand the TO bearing IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE RB ENGINES.

my RPS clutch gets here next week.

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Yep, hopefully get the swap done before the summer ends. just finished stripping my clip. this weekend ill try to compare everything. worst comes to worst i guess ill have to order one.

kamin, are you doing the rb25 swap?

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

dcdrifter...I just said he was having difficulty, which he is...nothing wrong with saying it how it is! Also, Kamin, is that RPS clutch for the RB, if so, where did you get it and approximately how much?

Post by **Joe** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Yes its a RPS for the RB (technically the 300zx NA) here is the part number and specsMS-17522-ST 400ft lb torque capacity, MAX presure plate and a unsprung street disc. my friend has a near idenical clutch on his SR20 and it is AWESOME.

and i cant say the price, getting a smoking deal, but retail is 400

Krayton, Yes im doing my swap. waiting for venus to get the next set of clips in then i need to find a daily driver, then i put the RB in my 97

i hope to start it around mid august.

as far as i know the Z32 TT transmission is the same except the bell housing. not the na transmission. also alot of people are questioning alot of things cameron said. i knew this would happen.

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Well I just pulled out the RB25's stock throwout bearing. It is different from the N/A 300zx bearing. First off it is bigger. Some other minor differences. As soon as I find my camera usb cord I can post some pics.

Not sure if you can use this but, the serial ID on the stock bearing is:

Koyo RCT4075-1S

Im gonna take a stab at this. If it doesnt work, hopefully you can just copy and paste the links.

Krayton, if you dont mind id like to come check out your clip, what side of town do you live on?

Post by **RubHamuSan** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

like i said i think the z32 turbo bearing is the one needed.

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

tommorrow i need to go to autozone, so i'll see if they have one in stock for the z32 turbo. hopefully they do and they let me compare the RB i have and take some pics.

Post by **dcdrifter** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

let me know asap if possible. I recieved an rb transmission w/ out a throwout bearing and I cant do my swap w/ out it. If anyone knows where I can pick one up let me know. Thanks for everyones help.

SO DOES THE WHOLE 300ZX TURBO CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WORK WITH AN RB20 transmission?

Post by **RubHamuSan** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

nope....the rb20 has the same clutch as the sr20det. or maxima.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

SO I COULD BUY AN SR20 CLUTCH AND IT'LL WORK?

Post by **RubHamuSan** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

yup make sure it is a sr20det tho. not just a de.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

OHH YEAH I KNOW. THANKS.

Post by **krayton** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Sorry but I havent found a place yet that has a TO in stock that i could compare. i'll have to make some calls. this is gonna be a busy week for me so i'm not sure if i can do it now. if someone could take pics of a TO off a z32 turbo i might be able to compare my stock rb25 bearing.

Post by **dcdrifter** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:22 am

Thats cool, I think I may be able to use the one off my 240sx. It connects perfectly to the fork and moves freely on the trans shaft. It is also the same size as the mark on the pressure plate.

I have a spare TO bearing in my shop...still in the box. WHo needs it??
