Hey guys

So my i think my clutch is starting to go... and as far as im aware it has never been changed... there was no details on it when it came from japan on whether it had been changed or not.

Ive already worked out who im buying it off.. that would be Kudos as i have bought from him before and his service is just AAA...

Ive been researched what clutch to buy for a good few months now as ive been expecting it to go at anytime.. and im stuck between the exedy hd button and exedy hd cushion button. Cushion button is about 100ish dollars more... is it worth the extra dollars? Is itmore of a comfort thing or performance? Can anyone who has these clutches shed some experience on this for me?

Just a quick run down on the car...My car power wise is more or less stock. (I find modding for handling more fun and rewarding). And probably the most i would do is tune with the SAFC 2, boost would more or less stay the same. So we are looking at stockish power.

Havn't used exedy but have been told the cushion button helps with drivability. Running an Extreme ceramic in my 33 with the sprung centre and 850kg pressure plate, good clutch even in slow moving traffic

how much was that one?

As my budget is around the 500 dollar mark for the clutch kit it self...

Any personal experinece with lighten fly wheels as well? Ive search and read a few threads but no conclusive thread on whether i should spend the extra dollars on one or simply machine the old one.

I have read that the cushion button does not hold as much power as the button clutch... is this true?

The Cushioned Button Clutch isn't recommended to hold High HP (250KW+) compared to the Sprung Button (Puk) Clutches, But in saying that the difference between the HD Organic & Cushioned Button is merely the Clutch Disc you'd prefer to run, With The Xtreme Clutches, Both have the same Clamp Load (850KG's) The Cushioned Button has Good driveability & isn't too heavy on the pedal but can take a bit more punishment then the Organic,

The Xtreme Cushioned Button Clutches are between $550-$600 incl GST from memory...

With the Flywheel, Honestly I'd just machine the original F/W... It's only $30 or so depending on where you go & the performance aspect won't be noticed in this case, If the old F/W is beyond machining then perhaps find a 2nd hand F/W from a wrecker, It's a far cheaper option & as long as it gets machined you shouldn't have any dramas :ermm:

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.

      Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
