Hey peeps,

My standard RB25 clutch is completely fried, i mean it slips in every gear :D

Obviously i need a new clutch, so i was looking at an Exedy HD Clutch?

Can i get some opinions on different types of clutches you have in your cars and a rough pricing guide. Also where to buy from.

My RB is only lightly modded with a full exhaust, FMIC, pod, and boost - so 260-270rwhp is the max it makes. However i want a cluutch that can safely handle up to say 300-320rwhp.

Cheers for any help :D

Forgot to add, i'll be installing the clutch myself with some help from my brother :)

I quite like the "Ace Clutch" (not sure who makes it) but it has a nice feel to it (IMO) and can handle some decent power. You can also happily park the car without needing to get a little right foot happy.

coventrys are the agent for either exedy or extreme clutch's

i run a exedy 5 puck in my gtr and it is fine

or if you want the best get a jim berry clutch from over east

Slide have a great range of clutches: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cheapest-Clutch-Kits-Aus-t200652.html

I got my Exedy 3 puk of them. . . Believe it or not its a comfortable drive and it slams in every gear. I love it.

If your going to go for a clutch, go Exedy. You wont regret it, worth every dollar! :P

Dont use slide, use kudos motorsport... Exedy HD clutch is fine for your HP application and they are around $550 delivered. You'll have to machine your stock flywheel as well, unless you buy an exedy lightened flywheel which is what I should have done :P

Alternatively if your not comfortable installing, labour is around $450 for machined flywheel, install and genuine gearbox oil :nyaanyaa:

If you want it to last and handle 320rwhp i would strongly recommend not getting an exedy single hd clutch.

Pay a bit more and get a full monty clutch from Jim Berry. I am just about to go pick mine up with it installed so i will let you know how it feels. From what ive heard it feels like stock but bites like a pit bull and will last forever.

Personally i don't like the feel of organic clutches...my brother has one in his 180sx and its kinda weird to use but its kinda cool at the same time.

I prefer being able to feel the friction point - feeling it bite

I rang CBA Malaga and they quoted $600.00 + GST for an Exedy HD Cushion Button clutch....

I can prob get it about $50.00 cheaper from CBA Malaga through someone i know so say $550.00 + GST....

Is that a reasonable price?

u can get it for around $500 or less if u get it off nissansilvia.com, or even a trader off here will have a deal that is cheaper than what u have been quoted b4. off the top of my head for the same clutch u mentioned it was about $496 + $20 postage off ns.com

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
