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....

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
