Clutch For 3-350rwk In R33 Gtr. Upgrade Time

[R33GOD]

after owning the gtr for a few months now its time for..you guessed it. clutch upgrade.

im after something that will hold between 300-350rwk and is very practical/smooth.

i have been looking into the cushioned button exedy for the moment cause i want something that drives like semi stock and will handle some hard launches.

what are my options?

thanks

One word....Jim Berry...but not for a 32..only for the 33 and 34...32 is in a much smaller housing.

The others are to heavy..this is a rebuild of the stock clutch...do not sell your old one.

The pressure is increased with less tolerances and better materials....

this allows for a higher clamp force.

There is a sticky here somewhere...could be in the drivetrain section on clutches

[R33GOD]

yeah i have a 33.

what are they worth?

how do they drive?

how much firmer pedal feel than stock?

thx

I think you'll find this ignites the "jim berry vs jap multi plate" debate

My vote would be nismo twin plate. It does the job perfectly, feels like standard, will take high rpm launches all day if thats your thing and your mum could drive it to the shops.

Or an OSGiken R3C if you dont mind it being a bit grabby

OS Giken twin is like a standard clutch to drive and should last forever.

Do a search on jim berry clutches.

You will not be disappointed with a Jim Berry clutch...feels a little harder..but puts the power down.

I have had mine for 1 year running that power on the road

Nismo Super Copper Mix (Twin plate)

Drives and feels almost like a standard clutch and has no problem holding on to the power and torque of my 325rwkw, Rb30det set-up

I have never heard anyone complain about them and i know a few people that use them.

[R33GOD]

i just dont want a clutch that is going to be either on or off when engaging driving normally.

[Piggaz]

Nismo twin plate coppermix. I have the competition model which is rated a little higher with the Nismo Slave cylinder. I will NEVER change it for something else. It's behind a 400 rwkw 2.8 litre. Cant recommend it highly enough.

[7heavn]

not a big fan of excedy but I have there twin plate in my GTR drives pretty nice , light peddle and hasn't slipped once at the drags on good rubber or out on the road .

[700HP-GTR33]

Bang for bucks go Jim Berry..with the current exchange rate the twin plate Nismo copper mix will cost twice that of Jims...lol

[R33GOD]

i dont want to go a bulletproof clutch at the same time where its going to fry my gearbox . i only would want it to hold around 350rwk max

[R33GOD]

[R33GOD]

how much does he charge? and can you get lightened flywheels with his clutches?

[700HP-GTR33]

He will let you know

He recommends normal flywheel and no grease to be used in the install

As I said better have some time on your hands when you call.

Hope I have helped

I would personally go a twin plate for that power. Have a read about some of the JB clutches. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cl...on-t233996.html
