brizzy_rocker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Adam you won't regret the NPC man... I've got one in the car atm, changed the stock one cos it seemed like a logical thing to do (spigot was rooted but the stock clutch was near new). Clutch is lighter than stock and is even easier to drive hey john, did u get a new flywheel or did you machine the current one? im wondering if its worth it to get a new flywheel, if it isnt needed then i dont wana spend the money, and how much stronger would the say the clutch is compared to standard? can it handle some abuse or is it like standard, i.e do a couple of normal launches and its toasted? i know the clutch toasting process of my clutch now was speeded up by me riding it alot, coz it was was so easy to ride and i was learning to get used to manual on it, lots of steep slopes didnt help either.

yaface Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 me john? or other john?I'm not dealing with anyone called hamish... Damn us and our highly common name...could be worse I spose. We could be called mohammed... hey john, did u get a new flywheel or did you machine the current one? im wondering if its worth it to get a new flywheel, if it isnt needed then i dont wana spend the money, and how much stronger would the say the clutch is compared to standard? can it handle some abuse or is it like standard, i.e do a couple of normal launches and its toasted?i know the clutch toasting process of my clutch now was speeded up by me riding it alot, coz it was was so easy to ride and i was learning to get used to manual on it, lots of steep slopes didnt help either. LOL! Can't believe you learnt how to drive in a 33 gtr....you asshole, lol. Nah Dan took care of it for us. No machining needed and kept the stock flywheel. Getting a lightened one can change the way your car revs, most often for the better though. Standard clutch on a 33 will handle around 210rwkws.... the npc one I have in there has been known to handle 300kws atws and the clutch still holding the power strong... You upgrade your clutch so it can handle more power and more abuse, but I wouldn't suggest you abuse it... I'll wear the frilly ones just in case Ooohh....you're making my pants come alive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261269-inner-west-crew-whoretown-toowongst-luciakenmoreindooroopilly-and-sometimes-sunnybank/page/664/#findComment-5020644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smity42 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) hey john, did u get a new flywheel or did you machine the current one? im wondering if its worth it to get a new flywheel, if it isnt needed then i dont wana spend the money, and how much stronger would the say the clutch is compared to standard? can it handle some abuse or is it like standard, i.e do a couple of normal launches and its toasted? A stock clutch will handle MANY MANY MANY 'normal' launches. Riding them is what kills them, and that will kill any clutch. Beefier up clutches can just handle more power before they start slipping. You still need to be able to drive. i know the clutch toasting process of my clutch now was speeded up by me riding it alot, coz it was was so easy to ride and i was learning to get used to manual on it, lots of steep slopes didnt help either. Ahhh, well that explains it. Maybe drive properly once you've spent all that money on a new clutch?

Blitz are sh*t for sure, but apexi? cmon, sh*ts all over nasty oiled K&N pods that kill AFMs. Pahahaha yeh gabnr plates will be a must with that car....dirty gabnr You know it ....explain?

brizzy_rocker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 haha yeh it was fun, the day when i picked up the car from GTAuto after RWC and inspection was the most fun, it was lke 530 lots of traffic everythin goin home from work etc, that was the hardest drive ive ever had in my life, i kept on praying and i kept on telling myself dont crash, reminding msyelf of the rules i had learnt, keep safe distance etc etc, it was hard for me to make the move from driving mostly Auto Land Cruisers in qatar that were left hand drive to a manual GTR that was right hand drive, quite confusing in the begining, and the car i learnt driving on at the driving school in qatar was a shitty corolla that was abused so badly by learners that the clutch was lke in half depressed position when disengaged, and the car would shift to 5 instead on 3 unless you really looked at the knob and pushed it hard enough into 3, fun times.

I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro).
