Anyone got clutch hookups? Shopping around for a replacement atm. The rougher the better

I know everyone says go to NPC or Nismo but I put an Exedy heavy duty in my car 5 years ago from here (http://www.icesrepairservices.com.au/products.php) and I've never looked back.

For $400 it has held 325kw at 20+ track and drag days.

I dunno if the price is still the same though.

He's got 99 problems but a clutch ain't one

I was going to like this post until I thought about it, because a clutch is, if anything, his one problem right now.

Current HHDBC has been in for a bit under 4 years, not too pleased it's slipping now. Will probably go NPC. What was the damage for yours Toby and Adam?

Mine was about $500-550 from memory; 10" carbotic - biggest clutch that will fit in our bellhousing. I believe they are derived from 350Z clutches. Rated to 300rwkw+

Can get any contact plate you like but I went with an organic cause they said it would stand up to my drag launches...they've been right so far. Also my thrust bearing is being pressed up against the plate (creates a whirring feel through the pedal) and I haven't been assed to adjust/fix it for 3 years now, but she's still going strong...guess that's testament to the bearing quality!

Mine was a NPC Heavy Duty Cushioned Button clutch

I also got a lightweight billet flywheel whilst I was at it.

Total was about $1.1K i think

I got an exedy heavy duty in mine this year, was $1500 though.

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
