MSX-2185-BX: Skyline R33 Upgraded Clutch – Mantic Stage Series

Skyline R33 graced the silver screen in “Fast & Furious,” but its allure goes far beyond Hollywood hype. This 1993-1998 icon is a potent cocktail of raw power, driver connection, and surprising practicality (yes, you read that right).

Under the hood lies the RB25DET, a 2.5L turbocharged beast churning out 182kW stock. But that’s just the beginning. The silky-smooth 5-speed manual transmission begs to be pushed, urging you to unleash the RB25’s true potential. With tasteful mods like upgraded turbo and intercooler, you’re looking at seriously mind-bending power figures.

The R33 isn’t just fast, it’s a blank canvas for gearheads. Want to dominate the track? Ditch the rear seats, slap on some coilovers and adjustable sway bars, and watch lap times tumble. The aftermarket is a wonderland for R33 enthusiasts, overflowing with parts to transform your street car into a track demon.

Despite its racetrack prowess, the R33 isn’t a one-trick pony. Fuel efficiency might not be its strong suit, but it’s surprisingly manageable for a sports car. Highway cruises can net you around 25 mpg, making weekend getaways a viable option.

Its interior might be a 90s time warp, but that’s part of its charm. Gauges stare back with purpose, dials click with satisfying precision, and the leather-wrapped wheel begs to be held. Modern upgrades like Bluetooth and upgraded sound systems keep things comfortable, while racing seats and quick-release steering wheels add a touch of motorsport flair.

​Prices vary depending on condition, but an R33 isn’t just a car – it’s an investment in automotive history. From affordable project cars to pristine garage queens, owning an R33 connects you to a passionate community and a legacy of Japanese engineering excellence.

So, if you crave a car that’s equal parts thrill machine, cultural touchstone, and surprisingly practical daily driver, look no further than the Nissan Skyline R33. It’s not just a legend, it’s an invitation to experience the magic of driving, pure and unadulterated.

Why Would You Need an Upgraded Clutch?

With any power modifications installation of an upgraded clutch should be considered. You’ll get a performance boost as well as unique, race-inspired shifting that sets your car apart from every other stock version on the road. Performance clutches hold higher torque capacity with better engagement and faster shifting.

The Mantic Stages Clutch System comes in a variety of configurations:

Mantic Stage Series Mantic Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kit cover assemblies feature the patented ER² Groove Design, which is a unique pattern CNC machined on the friction face of the pressure plate. This groove has been specifically designed to increase the Mean Effective Radius of the pressure place and assist in heat dissipation. The increase in the Mean Effective Radius of the cover assembly gives a significant increase in the torque capacity.
