Problem is my housing is made the way it is with the gate attached..would be alot of effort to change it, making a new housing and all..I can do a billet wheel no worries though..

Try an "F1 racing" clutch, which also goes by the name "gripforce". I have one in my car and i know of several in cars pushing 300+rwkw and going for 2 years+. Not bad for a $250 clutch :thumbsup:

I managed to organise a clutch from a bloke in Sydney KB clutch engineering.

He came recommended by a few of the ACT peeps once of which is running one in their GTR which is still holding up with 5k launches.

The guy sent me the following quote via SMS so I dont know what it all is but this is how it came:

HD cover assy

HD clutch plate organic facing SBF

Release bearing

Freight to canberra

$410

Nothing wrong with organic for the street....though not sure about 5k launches.

I have a JB in the R33 and an NPC in the fat slug (so much better than the 2nd cushioned button that it replaced).

I had a extra x2 heavy duty organic and died pretty quickly with my old 33 and 250rwkw just slipped while driving in 3rd one day

If I did it again I would get a extra x3 heavy duty cushion button it's really street friendly and u won't need to upgrade any time soon and wont have to waste 350-400 for labor to fit another clutch when the organic dies

Have you got the part number?

which do you prefer??

Those were the only 2 clutches I considered, otherwise I was going twin plate..

I ended up with a freshly rebuilt NPC 10' and flywheel for half price of a new one...

but can anyone tell me if flywheel bolts are 12mm cause if they're not I have a problem :unsure:..??

Both are great streetable clutches. I would be happy with either.

The JB required modification to fit, something JB denies was necessary but was required. It came with a Valeo pressure plate from memory.

The NPC/Exedy has been faultless.

I think I would have no issues doing above, infact I know the SS1PU is slightly larger then the GT-RS all around and was pretty consistent when on the dyno. I'll be back with few more wastegate side updates and can do some comparisons with what Trent's got in his PC.

Also found most tuners would retard timing as "insurance" for stock motor when it do hit 20psi. That explains the missing mid range, an update to the wastegate assembly is made, so all new units would have no issues holding boost using EBC with a 14psi actuator. Also the updated module is available for all ATR43 series at a cheap cost.

For that Billet TD06 there is no way it can be modified into a stockie bolton the possition of the turbine outlet is way off to stock 6 bolt nissan pattern. So it will have to be the way it is. I'm planing to let trent do some tests on his New Ceffero.

Trent should have a couple of GTRS tunes on RB's. I know Dave has one on there with nismo 555cc and EBC. Easy to compare...

Its been a while seeing the Greedy copies around with few good working examples. So we've imported few. The first one I'm interested to try is the TD06SL2 in 10cm with T3 flange turbine housing running 20G Billet compressor wheel.

It has been pulled apart and rebalanced (tolerance is about twice higher then where I normally set them to, its now corrected). to make sure every thing can work accordingly.

Those turbos are externally gated only and available to every one for $850 including GST and 12 month local warranty. I will refer to it as the EXGBTD06SL2

Looking through the turbine design, it appears been able to make plenty of torque, but I'm not too sure about response. There is also room in FNT turbine upgrade. I might be able to adapt internal gate onto it with the Nissan 6 bolt flange.

Just noticed in the Kando thread about cracked td06 turbine wheel.

Compare to what you've offering for sale above, Since above is also made from the same origin, is yours same or better? any idea on whats causing the problem?

The turbine wheel bends backwards or break vertically during a course of impact. The horizontal crack is from Heat, some thing to do with the material content of the alloy its made of. Generally running E85 and external gate plus not so much boost would keep the EGT low, that avoids issues like above.

How ever I have seen similar problem from a T70 Chinese turbo years back that was used on a Ford 4L +T. The car initially made 370rwkws on pump 98 for a while before the driver noticed lack of performance through time. The turbine wheel had lots of horizontal cracks with chucks missing, the edge of the wheel blade appeared rough like a wire brush. Luckily the it was a old T04 copy so I managed to rebuild it with a geninue Garrett wheel and it was all good.

Most turbo builders would contract specialized foundries to forge their parts to the specifications they require. The single incident is not good enough to conclude Kando or all other Greedy copies are bad, certainly there are many more working examples plus mine is yet to be trailed.

    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
