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.

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

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

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.

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.

where can i get in contact with this jim? (jim berry clutch)

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

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
