Whats the best clutch to suit an RB25DET with 280rwkw? I drive the car every day, so something that can be easy in traffic would be good..

Also, what are the pros/cons of installing a lightened flywheel? Anyone with similar mods?

Cheers.

I would go for an Xtreme Single Plate Motorsport Clutch Kit,

Capable of up to 320KW's & still has very Good Driveability.

Send me a PM if you're interested :sick:

A single plate would be fine, or just a heavy duty one as long as you didnt abuse it too much.

A lightened flywheel means the motor has less extra weight it has to move before the power gets to the wheels, so acceleration is better. Imagine wearing really have pants or shoes and trying to run, would be hard, so having really light shoes and slim pants makes it easier. Same concept

I'm running a GTR 3 puk Exedy with no issues. Drives really well, I would have to say smoother and easier than the old xtreme 9puk.

The Xtreme clutches have some crappy ceramic material that welds to the flywheel when driven hard.

hey got an hks twin, real nice to drive, my lightweight flywheel is mean, rapid take off, has a bit of a shudder though, revs drop back pretty fast when changing gears, so when doing quick gear changes pays to blip the gas peddle to prevent the shock on box, diff etc....

if u have a lightened flywheel dont u lose some torque aswell?

gives you more torque man, faster and easier you get the power from engine to wheels the more torque you have, for drifting people dont always use lightened flywheels because they want the heavier flywheel to keep the engine spinning (revs higher),

as for clutch, i just got my rb25 geatrbox and engine into my r32, drove it out yesterday, put a 5 puk button into it, pedal isnt to heavy at all, but atm its really on off, shutters if you have it half way so i rev and dump, maybe when it wheres in it will be better,

Got an Exedy cushioned button in mine, drives great, is fairly cheap (compared to Twin plates) and holds the power no worries. Highly recommend them, just got one for my mates XR6 Turbo and 180sx.

What kind of budget you on? If money aint a problem, go a single plate carbon, great clutches.

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
