What Clutch To Buy

[Slow4door]

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

Exedy hd button will do the job abd is about 500 or something. Can also ask npc what they can offer for that price range.

[Slow4door]

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?

NPC or Exedy

I'll never buy another brand of clutch having used an NPC for over a year now. Exedy would be my next choice unless I was going to spend some serious money on a Nismo or HKS clutch

I'll look into npc I want to get one that will be good for 500/600hp

lol what happend to the sudden increase from 240kw to 600hp?

[Slow4door]

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

[Slow4door]

Yeah but I like being differant

[dori34]

Jim Berry would be the way to go for me.

Now all I need is a seco exeady pressure plate so I can get a full Monty made

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 ) 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.

jim berry - i didnt think anyone could be so passionate about clutches

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

NISMO copper mix twin plate FTMFW

[N1GTR]

[Slow4door]

Thinking Jim berry cos of the wrap, don't want to spend big$$$ on twin or tripple plate
