R33GOD Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Anth.

700HP-GTR33 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/240832-clutch-for-3-350rwk-in-r33-gtr-upgrade-time/#findComment-4205405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33GOD Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 yeah i have a 33. what are they worth? how do they drive? how much firmer pedal feel than stock? thx Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/240832-clutch-for-3-350rwk-in-r33-gtr-upgrade-time/#findComment-4205414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1GTR Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/240832-clutch-for-3-350rwk-in-r33-gtr-upgrade-time/#findComment-4205415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIEVE Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) OS Giken twin is like a standard clutch to drive and should last forever. Do a search on jim berry clutches.

700HP-GTR33 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/240832-clutch-for-3-350rwk-in-r33-gtr-upgrade-time/#findComment-4205428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 i just dont want a clutch that is going to be either on or off when engaging driving normally.

Piggaz Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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.

700HP-GTR33 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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.
