Clutch Too Heavy

[kobebruce]

I just bought a R33 GTST, but the clutch is too heavy ( double heavy duty clutch).

And I m looking for single heavy duty, so if anyone interest of double one,just let me know(maybe swap)

I m waiting for the workshop come back from holiday, then i can install the single one, if anyone is selling,

let me know too, i m living in south side.

Mate, it could be set up like that for a reason.

A lot more info is required before anyone can help you at all.

What mods, what rwkw numbers, what application (regular street, some track, heavy track, drag), is it a multi plate, ceramic, organic, your expectations and skill level....?

Here's a quick example. I've done several hundred thousand km in heavy trucks with ceramic unsprung clutches both highway and cross country. No-one that gets to drive my cars could drive my race car or my GTR with the ceramic clutches, they would stall regularly at lights, in car parks or any low speed stuff, yet I have no problems. On the other hand I despise clutches with a long throw and soft bite. I specced an organic clutch that had a bit more pressure but less aggressive bite for the GTR to take a fair whack of power over stock and now even my wife can drive it.

Just harden up man! Its going to be wayyyy cheaper to just get used to it.

Soft feeling clutchs belong in hyundai's. Harden up, ive had to daily drive everything from 3800pound single plates to twins and tripple through Brisbane CBD everyday.

You will get used to it. As dave said, it's cheaper getting used to it then replacing it. Plus, as mentioned it maybe in there for a reason.

If you have just bought the car i would wait a few weeks as im sure you will adjust to the weight and gain a bit of muscle in your left leg

If you go for power later (300+rwkw) you will be wanting that twin plate back...

GTRgeoff: I dun know any thing about my clutch, as all of my fds tried it, also said very hard ( some of my fds got heavy duty one on their car, but not skyline.)

I know get used to it is cheaper way (replace it like 700bucks),but i heard that, the clutch can make the tyres easy gone( if not control the clutch well), is it that true? Also hill start for me is a bit problem, and my gf can't drive my car.

The only way the clutch can make the tyres "easy gone"

If if you dump it and do skids everywhere...

I hear you on the gf driving thing, but a stiff clutch is a good way to keep her out of the drivers seat

If you want a great comprimise, i got a Jim Berry clutch (cutom built for my application) which could handle 300rwkw easily and yet be almost as soft/easy to pedel as a stock clutch. As my Mrs could not drive the car with a button clutch in it, and my driveway shows the proof of that... A Jim Berry special cost me $800 to have built and then took a good 2 hours to pop in between lunch and weekend beers... If you cant pop the clutch in yourself have a chat to Jim about that, he will point you in the right direction...
