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.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
