Which Cluth To Choose

[fletch63]

Hi all,

I have an r33 with approx 170-180rwkw and don't expect to increase that for a long time.

My clutch is slipping and I have 2 choices so far.

Could someone pls advise.

1 Hyperdrive exedy hd clutch fitted $950

2 AutoClutch extreme hd clutch fitted $700

Anyone had any experience with these 2 places / clutches

Thanks

[KEN-R34]

Exedy all the way.

1 Hyperdrive exedy hd clutch fitted $950

Hyperdrive for sure

[Kaido_RR]

had an extreme clutch which fail in less than 9months and would not be replaced under warranty.

so go the Exedy

[Ehgriez]

I have an extreme and I'm 90% sure they are manufactured at the same place as exedy. Got mine from a mate that works at coventries. My car probably has a bit less power than yours, has been in the car about a year now and still clamps hard.

THANKS GUYS

ANY OTHER COMMENTS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

+1 exedy

had mine for 9 months and still got that bite

[snozzle]

go for exedy heavy duty organic if u want drivability if u want performance get exedy 5/3 extreme puck if u plan to upgrade ur turbo within a year or so

i had a 9 puck ceramic xtreme from autoclutch in my s14 and i didnt like it at all, i have driven a 5 puck exedy and liked it alot better than the xtreme clutch

an exedy organic will give u a much smoother drive than a ceramic, if thats what your after, just get that if u dont want to mod ur car

thanks snozzle,

think I'll take yr advice and go Hyperdrive.

Bit more expensive but what the..........

[GD2ILA]

i have a exedy HD single plate clutch, over 14 launches (250rwkw) and still going strong.

[R32 Driver]

Used Exedy in 3 of my Skylines. Good clutch though i believe the Single plates are made locally and twin/triples are all from Japan

Tried extreme once but it doesnt seem to hookup as fast

[RedLineFeva]

i got an exedy twin plate put in, took a bit to get used to but is really good for launching.

[bubba]

I have an Exedy 4-puck that has taken a LOT of abuse. Too many 2nd gear clutch drops to count and plenty of clutch stabs, still going strong.

Also +1 for Hyperdrive, they tune my 30

[tomcio]

extreme carbon clutch can easly take 350rwkw. its very light but a bit of a light switch at the start.

This guy knows what he is talking about, plus all he does is wank over cars all day.

If he is next to a Jap preformace car dont shake his hand i tell ya!!

Haha

Had a xtreme 9-puck in my car that eventually died, then replaced with a 6-puck xtreme that shat itself yesterday afternoon. Finding out what exactly has happened tomorrow morning, but it's likely to have welded itself to the flywheel. Might be able to rebuild it but once I found out I will have to decide rebuilding & hope it doesn't happen again, or put something else in.

i had a 9 puck extreme clutch too, burnt out the flywheel and pressure plate, clutch plate was fine? ended up getting a NPC clutch ( 3 puck modified gtr pressure plate) from In tune Performance. about 1100 fitted. good for around 400 hp
