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

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
