hey guys am wondering if you can help me out i need a new clutch in my 33, i dont know which clutch would be best for my application and in my budget range.($600) i would prefer extreme (single plate) clutch because they are based in australia. NOw there is organic, ceramic, brass, carbon, what clamp load??? i hear that brass chew quicker through the flywheel. ive got 200rwkw but my goal is between 250-270 which will come sometime down the track. i love smoking rubber :( and kick clutch it every so often so i need something tough and reliable. its a weekend street car, now if you can tell me all your experiances with extreme clutches good and bad things

thanks heaps

I had a exedy cusion button in my last 33 and that would chirp 3rd to 4th, but it only lasted 12 months and it was gone.

But when you let off the clutch pedal you certenly knew about it...

When i first picked up the car i stalled it as soon as i tryed to drive off. lol

The Xtreme cushion button are great IMO.I had one for over a year and copped a serious hiding.There are two sets of rivets in the clutch plate compared to the one set in the Exedy item.

So for the money the Xtreme are a good option.$580 i think they are from Hi Octane.Clamp load is around the 900kg mark.

yeah i am looking at the exedy one too. brass button cushioned like you had did u give it a good serve or what? cos i drive it like its not mine lol synchrons are worn in the gearbox as well so i have to have a look at reconditioning or something. thanks

yeahh for $600 i dont have many options unfortunately exdy or xtreme they are made by the same people i think so same poo really. i could afford more but new house is on the way and i just cant spend much. i bought the car just to have a bit of fun on the weekends, then i started upgrading and now its a never ending cost lol but yeah its all good fun am enjoying it while am young

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
