Npc Clutches

[tricstar]

Ah fair enough

Not sure if theres any difference between the GTR and GTST clutches, but mine has a lighter pedal feel than my old exedy cushion button, isnt to much worse to live with every day (takes a little while to get used to but not so bad)

Bites damn hard, and has never slipped for me once. Going strong for over a year now.

I dunno what else to say about it lol

well there is quite a bit of difference, in your GTS under load or shock the first thing to let go is your 2 rear tyres, do the same in a GTR and if all 4 tyres don't let go then maybe something else will, for me that was the clutch followed by the gearbox ( heavy single )

to get the singles to hold that much power they usually make them with very heavy clamp ( doesn't always mean heavy peddle due to how they set them up ) my old heavy sprung centre single used to hit like a sledgehammer on the drive train if not babied, more so than the solid centre triple I run now..

maybe the NPC one will be different, good luck anyway

Oh I meant between the clutches themselves lol.

The reason I went NPC was because 2 of my friends had them in there skylines, One broke the gearbox before the clutch let go (was an RB20 but ) and the other had a welded diff and used to thrash the hell out of his and had no clutch problems at all

I just like mine for the power level I'm running. If i was gonna go chasing 400rwkw or so I'd be getting a twin plate. But I cant say a bad thing about my clutch or the service. When I rang up about it, the guy I was talking to spent about 15 mins going through my options and giving me his recomendations. Clutch was express posted and got to me the next day. When I got my flywheel from them I had to send 2 emails and the flywheel turned up the same week.

Personal experience is a big +1 from me for NPC

thanks for sharing your experiences - interesting. What brand was your heavy sprung single?

It was one of Jim's. Tried a couple with no luck. Don't want to bag Jim out, he does seem like a good and very knowledgable guy.

I just didn't find the heavy single and AWD very agreeable, although there will be plenty of people out there on either side of the fence

Sounds like you'll be able to make your own decision soon enough

yep - I'll find out tomorrow. I still have the option of going back to the OS Giken twin if the new NPC doesn't meet my needs.

the new NPC 10" ceramic button sprung feels great! very light pedal feel! infact it's as light as the clutch in my ford laser runabout.

What's the going price for anpc 10" ceramic button?

[89CAL]

About $760 delivered I think mine was

[thegame-01]

The Pull Type is extra. I think it was like 850 or so... Does that sound right??

I am running a NPC button with a jun flywheel and its great. A lot of workshops recomended NPC for my GTR

I am running the strongest NPC Clutch they make for a Skyline GTR massive billet twin plate with the uprated chevy spline rated to way over 1000HP, i can't fault it one of the best clutches around easy to use, cheap to rebuild and can handle loads of abuse, currently running 800awhp and handles it just fine drives like a normal car, we will be testing it to its limits next month when the car is back on the dyno and wind the boost up and make over 1000hp. I highly recommend them, i have bought the same clutch for my mate's Supra see how it goes.
