Hi,

I have done a search and found everyone talking about Exedy clutches as the way to go.

What would be a good clutch for a daily driven R33 GTR, looking at around 250kw at the wheels. I need something that is not too heavy and drives like stock.

I have been told that Exedy have "single plate heavy duty" and "single plate organic sports", and I have found people to use these terms interchangeably.

Do people really know what exactly they have and can anyone confirm the difference between them?

Cheers.

You're probably best to give x-clutch in Adelaide a call (1800 CLUTCH)... Ask them what is the best clutch for 250kw at the wheels on a R33 GTR, and go from there.

My Exedy cluch can handle is a single plate that can handle that power figure, and it is only about 10% heavier than stock, they called it a "cushion button clutch".

I also got a lightened fly wheel to go with it, and they look unreal (anodised purple alloy, to match the clutch housing) it's a pity it's hidden under the car, and no one will ever see it.

Send meshmesh a PM... He's organising a deal with Exedy to give SAU an "unbeatable price" on Exedy clutches...

Also, there are something like 7 different Exedy Single Plate clutches available for RB engines so make sure you get the right one for your needs... I can't remember them all otherwise I'd list them, but there are two main groups: Ceramic and Organic clutch plates. The ceramic range are rated to hold more power than the organic ones.

i just had a look at the receipt - it says 'heavy duty clutch kit' (daiken excedy). I am pretty sure its organic. What colour is the face of the ceramic ones? Mine was a greeny brown colour which is organic i am assuming. Cost me $420 inc GST. Nick's Performance Clutch, Archerfield 3277 9403

organic means its a full face clutch like u'r stock one usually with an upgraded pressure plate to increase the clamp.

Ceramic clutches are basically button clutches that can come with a sprung centre to help ease the initial bite, also available are brass, carbon, kevlar button.

Organic full face clutches are easier to drive and pretty user friendly but will not hold as much torque as a 3 or 5 button clutch.

i just got my exedy single plate organic sports clutch... feels exactly the same as stock which is strange... but i just can't get it to take off right:(

gtrs have a clutch booster, just likea brake booster, so the feel of the clutch is stays reasonable, even if it is a h/d.

on a gts-t there is no helper, which is why when people switch to havy duty clutches there is a dramatic change in how hard u have o push :rofl:

so basically u cant really judge how hard it will be to push unless u are talking to another gtr owner.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
