I'm looking for a clutch for my r32 gtst with 240rwkw and I've been doing a little reading but I'm unsure which clutch to buy, the car currently has a cussion button clutch in it ATM but it seems to not disengage properley at hi rpm shifts, I'm looking at doing some track days and I like to smell rubber from time to time, also still has to be streetable! I'm on a budget of about $600 or so! Any ideas would be good

Might be able to up my budget now to $1000 I'm reading, which do ppl think is better, a JIM BERRY CLUTCH, NPC, DIRECT CLUTCHES, EXCEDY, or XTREAM?? and then what sort would be the best for around 500hp to 600hp?

I'm looking into the future to maybe a 25/30 or something along that line, at the fly I would b in the ball park of high 300's hp now so should be easy to get 500 to 600hp easy

plus I have a little more cash to play with to get something that will suit power mods cos as we all know that u always want more! I've only had the car 3 months and it feels slow! When I got it it had 190rwkw now it's got 240rwkw and I still want more, maybe even a stroker kit to 2.4 might be nice!

Putting in an RB25 would be much cheaper then stroking the RB20. Not to mention the better flowing heads and VCT

from what i just posted in a similer post

ok check this out i bought myself a H/D Cushion Button excedy clutch about 3 years ago for my drift cat

i go to minimum 9 events a year

so a ruff total of 27

pulled out motor/ tranny last week to do some work

i pulled out the clutch and measured the meat left on it

i emailed excedy and asked what was on them brand new

turns out i have %90 Left on there

so i blew a gear box did 27 drift days

a massive amount of clutch kicks and the good old single plate button has lived

Btw my specs are im running 320 rwkw's out of a rb25 with close to 600nm of torque

jimberry ftw. when the clutch in my GTR finally dies (stock ones are beastly :D) that's what i'll be putting in. if you plan to keep it for a while it just pays for itself because the cost of rebuilds are pretty negligble vs a totally new one.

thats a big call from someone who hasn't had one in their GTR, I had 2 and would never go back closedeyes.gif

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
