Need A New Clutch

[syfon]

Hey peeps,

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

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

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!

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

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

I will most probably go through Clutch Brake Australia in Malaga and get an Exedy one from them, if they stock them lol.

Go Red Line gearbox oil

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.

Exedy HD is really good

[syfon]

I put Castrol VMX-80 oil in my gearbox and I havn't had any trouble at all

But yeah, i'll be doing the install myself. Well my brother will do it as i can't do it myself, but i have to learn!

im in the same boat atm, just got quoted 440bux for a heavy duty organic from perth brake parts

[syfon]

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

[Impact]

lol i got a double plated clutch in mine.. the point is so fine u gota be spot on or u stall or sit there revn like a bitch haha

[ohno1]

would exedy hd be alright behind a 32gtr with ~340rhp?

i have 340 hp in my gtr and exedy 5 puk handles it easy

[ohno1]

if you don't mind me asking, how much are they worth?

[doony]

excedy heavy duty from ABS in osborne park $500

[syfon]

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?

[Harry-Hotpants]

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

[syfon]

I dont want to wait for postage though....i just want to go buy and put it in my car either that day or the next....
