Ok people, i have been looking round and getting prices for clutches for a while now and the daiken excedy clutch has been mentioned afew times. I am in need of your opinnion. Are they a decent clutch?? I aint putting out any hp figures to jump over the moon about. Just an r33 gtst, when the clutch goes in the boost will be upped to about 12. Its got a pod and an exhaust so thats it, well engine wise thats it. I am loking at front mount and other mods in the future but for now a clutch that has a firm peddle would be nice just like the one thats in there at the moment but it slips so cant keep it in. Any advice would be much appreciated and im on the gold coast also. So any places with good deals would be great

I got a daiken heavy duty organic patrol clutch installed a month ago, and it holds the power very well.

The clutch is not firm to me, it feels lighter than the stock - personally I'm happy with that, but I also got the flywheel lightened, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Good clutch, good price, not sure if the feedback from it will suit you... just my experience.

a daiken heavy duty and a daiken excedy are two different clutches, i had a daiken heavy duty b4, pretty good, got a daiken excedy now, feels alot better, only had it for 3weeks so far but feels good, a little more, the daiken heavy duty clutch is a standard heavy duty clutch, the daiken excedy is a sports heavy duty clutch, when u compare the two u see the difference, so if your buying a daiken heavy duty clutch, its not a performance, its just a strong standard clutch

I've been using a Daiken Exedy Sports Organic Clutch for around 6mths now.

Think it cost me like $650 installed or something like that. It has no problems holding back 200rwkw. Its the nicest clutch I have ever used (although only ever driven about 4 manuals hehe).

I'd have to double check the price (receipt is at home) but it was done at GavSport (St Marys) ... speak to Kevin and tell him Ben sent you (He did the SAU DBA4000 groupbuy about 5mths ago too).

Edit: I got a Spiggot Bush replaced at the same time too which i think was about $25.

ok thanx for the tip about the difference between heavy duty and excedy. I will definately opt for the excedy clutch and will just put up with the soft feel. I mean aslong as i can start having fun without the clutch spinning im happy. I can get it for 450 on its own. I am gonna fit it myself. Is flywheel lightening a good investment?? I mean i am gonna machine it as u do with a new clutch but what involved in lightening?? Is it just machined a heck of alot more than normal?>? And what are the pro's n cons??

thanx for the feedback so far peoples

Sorry to bring up an old thread,

Ben I need to replace my clutch and Ive heard a few good things about Gavsport. I spoke with Matt, and he said for an Exedy organic kit, it was around 1k. This included maching the flywheel etc etc, though it was abit more than expected. Did you get a kit or just the clutch? I think im already running an organic so perhaps I won't need the kit...?

I got just the clutch + spiggot bush. No work done to the flywheel or anything like but if you have the money get the flywheel done.

My point of contact there is Kevin ([email protected]). Just let him know your from SAU and he should take care of you.

/which reminds me, i need to get my Master Cylinder re-sleeved.

Thanks for the response :)

Ive shot Kev off an email so hopefully should get some feedback shortly.

How have you found the clutch? any problems? Have you found when say idling for 15 minutes, the clutch would slip until u started to run properly? I had that problem just after I had mine installed though it wore off after a while...I think it was just part of the shit job from the ppl that installed but never know...

Thanks again Ben

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
