There is probably a million threads in this section that you could read on the topic

haha sorry shows how much i take notice of hte differnt topics ..

General consensus is

1a. Jim Berry clutch, very good single plate clutch (about $1200 plus install I thinkl)

1b. Exedy, Australian clutch? village bike (single, twin, puck, button, whatever ) From driving my brothers car they seem to be quite heavy clutches.

1c. Nismo Super Coppermix or other Japanese aftermarket clutch ($1500+, plus install). Check Perfect Run, Nengun etc.

2. Flywheel is also a good option for ~$500, install of that should not be much more seen as the though the gearbox out is most of the work.

Whats the price on a clutch + flywheel install anyway?

[CEF11E]

clutch + flywheel install on a gtst will be around $400 + any parts needed

same on a GTR will be double

I have just ordered a clutch from slide http://www.slidingperformance.com/catalog/...products_id=239

and have heard really good things about it. and for $500 its a fantastic price. it will be going behind 240rwkw and used for drift and normal street use

I will update with results when it is installed on the 20th.

Cheers

Hows that for daily driving? I am thinking of either the Nismo twin or Full Monty for my daily GTR.....

i have the exedy 5 puck clutch in now and it BITES like a wild animal. the car feels much better to drive with it.

it does shudder in reverse going up hills like when you back out of a a driveway when you are coming off the pressure point. but it is tolerable.

[Sammie]

i just got quoted for a extreme 9 puck ceramic clutch sprung centre i belive for 900 fitted, 650 for the clutch alone , aythoughts on this clutch ?

cheers sam

[CEF11E]

sounds about right. I just paid the same for my exedy 5 puck
