Stock Clutch Replacement

[Galois]

Hey guys,

There's an awful lot of good threads on which clutch is the best for your million hp gtr, or which will last longest, but I haven't found anything on what's a good, cheap replacement for the standard clutch.

I have had a bit of time off work for my final year project so the dollars are tight, and my clutch is slipping . I've read all about jim berry's clutches and it sounds like the way to go (even if the gearbox and diff shattering reputation is a little scary).

I have an r34 gtt with a cat back and 13psi boost (lowing that is another project). So are there any cheap after market clutches which are like stock and worth looking at? Exedy, for example, want almost $1000 for a stock replacement *dies*

Thanks all, appreciate it.

seems to be the way it goes with the pull types. have you tried brands other than exedy?

Call NPC, there pretty helpful. Ive got a sprung button clutch from them but they will do more practical clutches and resonably priced.

why did nissan decide to change the type of clutch in the r34?

I've been looking around but to be honest I don't know many clutch brands, only been looking at giken, exedy and xtreme, still looking around, but the exedy prices are huge!

Take the clutch out, take it down to your local brake and clutch specialist along with the flywheel.

Ask for a reco/skim on the pressure plate and flywheel, new friction plate (organic/cushioned ceramic/button/whatever), new thrust bearing.

Shouldn't cost more than 300 bucks if nothing is broken.

edit: If you really want to be tight just get a new friction plate and thrust bearing and throw them in. Probably less than 150

I got a cheapo organic for IIRC ~$400 and its holding 300kw. If i were go buy something now i'd probably go NPC. Organic is nice for street use.
