Best Clutch / Flywheel For R34?

Hi all,

After running some extra boost and bigger wheels on my 34 for a few months (185rwKw) I'm starting to get a lot less wheelspin and a lot more clutch slip from the standard setup. It also stinks whenever i drive it to work / home in peak hour traffic (whether i push it or not).

I had an Extreme HD clutch of some kind (can't remember the exact one) in my old R32 and was very happy with it.

Just though i would ask here if anyone had any suggestions for the best clutch / flywheel setup - the car will be a daily driver but i'll be doing turbo and ECU later this year and planning on around 250rwKw so it needs to hold that, without being a pig to drive in traffic.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for workshops in Adelaide to carry out the work that would be great.

Cheers.

Now you've done it..... Here comes all of the opinions! This may confuse you more than help you :)

My choice was a 9 puck ceramic copper clutch plate with a 1200kg clamp force pressure plate.

I'm also using a lightened CM flywheel.

I didn't like the organic clutch as it wore too quick for my style of driving.

It's excellent for road and competition applications.

After showing two other people my setup, they then purchased the same clutch/pressure plate combination. One was using a stock clutch, the other an Exedy organic.

I guess the question also is how much you wanna spend.

My organic is only slightly heavier than standard and VERY VERY streetable (still haver the standard flywheel in). Paid a bit over a $grand about a year ago, had it done at Japanese Motorsport on Magill road.... not sure where abouts in adelaide you are...

Yeah i live in the NE suburbs, Jap Motorsport is on the way to work and right near GF's house.

Now i think about it, i've seen your car around the area, think we met in the BP on portrush rd one day and said "nice car" to each other... :-)

I might head to Jap Motorsport and ask them what they recommend... looking to do flywheel and clutch (been reading the chromoly fw's will make the clutch last longer...?) - but hoping to not spend over $1500 if possible...!

Yep that was me! :)

Maybe give them a buzz and see what they'd recommend...

Oh, and apparently the Xtreme HD Organic uses the same pressure plate as the 34 GTR's so pretty good clamping pressure also.

Have done ECU (GReddy Emanage Ultimate), Fuel Pump, Injectors, Z32 AFM, and upped the boost to 12psi... still stock turbo though. Not sure if the ECU was directly responsible for all the increase in power as had everything put on at the same time, but was pretty happy with that figure seeing as i haven't really done anything major to it. Had it tuned at Boostworx, really good guys there. Looking at a turbo upgrade in the near future....

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
