Hey Steve, do you go hunting for clutch topic threads?

Ting, Madaz is right. NPC are good clutches and best do it right, do it once. I've had Exedy and Extreme clutches in the past, but I find I hear good things about NPC and Nismo.

I've seen Exedy and Extreme clutches die on the track, but my Nismo kit has gone the distance so far in a 204awkw 1650kg Stagea.

If you can afford new, get NPC.

If you can only afford second hand, find a Nismo HD kit from JIS or JMS, but get the flywheel machined ($90).

lol Roo na i'm subscribed to the sa forum

[wasnt me]

hmmm well i got my clutch from there for 980

its a extreme ceramic button.

holds 335rwkw on my car no problem.

cant see how you got a quote $300 cheaper.

[Damo_R34]

its a different clutch?

[Luke_ENR34]

I would personaly stay away from extreme, never hear good stuff about them and there centres like to shatter/crack and just about explode.

I've heard good stuff about npc. I personaly like the nismo coppermix. Comes with everything, thrust bearing, flywheel, and stickerz lol

[wasnt me]

i guess it comes down to what you want out of your clutch to. i find it great for street use.

dont know how it would go if you were to use it for drift and "clutch kicking" or track work with high temps.

Youd probably want a brass button for that i think?

I had an extreme clutch, it lasted about 45,000km on my ~180kw RB20. Now have an NPC ceramic clutch, but I havent driven the car yet. I know push type is cheaper than pull, but I got $420 change from $1000. delivered. Got my Nismo flywheel machined at Australian Clutch for $39. I know the Nismo coppermix clutches are awesome, but Im not sure personally if I could justify the cost of one.

I'm not posting just to bag any one particular clutch but in general terms. There's a reason why copper mix clutches cost so much.

It's not a hard exercise to engineer and manufacture a cheap plate that'll bite your flywheel like a Detroit Locker but at what expense you may ask?

These cheaper alternatives are not very forgiving to other drive components......as strange as this may sound, a little bit of clutch slip (even from a new plate) is actually not a bad thing.

Would you spend $10K on a set of Alcons then run solid metal pads for everyday street use....your nice shiny rotors wouldn't last very long.....use an extra set of pads and save your investment.

Pads are an expendable item and as such clutch plates should be seen in the same way. Pads should be seen as the first point of contact in making something come to a halt and in a similar but opposite manner, clutches are the first point of contact in power distribution.

Start breaking drivelines by using cheap in/out style clutches (which are also a pig in traffic) and you'll end up spending a shitload more cash than a decent clutch would've cost in the first place.

I've seen GTR's with alot less power than I was making smash gearboxes, diffs, tailshafts (you name it) all in the name of finding a cheap clutch that'll hold 400kw....big deal.

+1 to what Pete said.

Have a read of this http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi...tch/clutch.html

With the Coppermix there is a single plate and a twin plate option, single plate are roughly $500 cheaper then a twin.

Cheapest shipping option would be by sea (6-9weeks) or the expensive EMS (4-7days) option.

At this stage im thinking $1700ish for the single plate option just cause the yen is pretty shit, but will last forever*.

*Disclaimer, if you put 1000hp behind this clutch it may give way.
