Ok

time has come

i need a new clutch because my current one has put immense pressure on my left knee for a year now

and i have constant knee pain :closedeyes:

i currently have a xtreme single button 5 puc push button clutch

"highly resistant to the most agressive clutch use and sustained high temperatures."

thats a exerpt from the clutch ad

which is ******** because it takes 2 seconds for the POS to burn up and start shuddering so its finished

so what are some good clutchs that wont burn my bank or destroy whats left of my knee cartilage

10" NPC they come in a ceramic or oganic variety and wont kill the bank

$650 for the ceramic (usually)

i would have to call for an organic price will double check price for ceramic also

what would be ok for like normal use but isnt to soft?

I've gotten a full face organic from Madaz and its perfect for daily driving. You'll notice that switching from a stuffed clutch to a new one there will be extra pressure but there are a couple things you can do to help this, namely get a nismo slave cylinder, braided clutch line and a clutch pedal brace. The nismo slave will make it easier to push down on, and the line and brace will make the action more precise (optional really)...

+1 to Madaz's clutches - excellent price and great product - Mines good for up to 300kw...

+1 for npc and all the extra nismo bits that dohmar speaks of. We've had this discussion many times before and it always comes back to 2 options. Spend the money on a coppermix for an excellent clutch or spend less than half that amount for a locally built product with a rep to match the coppermix.

I too vouch for the NPC. I have an organic 10" one behind a SR20 and was told the clutch was good for 400hp, drives very nice and has a good pedal feel. In the next few weeks I should know how well it handles close to 400hp too.

I too have been NPC'd by Steve , no idea how it works till next week. had to find another mechanic besides the local ones (muppets) but the day after the clutch the car is being dumped on the dyno so the light flywheel would be a bonus.. the curent one(not NPC) is getting touchy, and slips a bit on hard boost in 3rd

, not worried about too stiff, your soft if you cant use a hi pressure clutch in traffic in a nissan , try old skool hi pressure clutches with no hydraulic help now thats a workout in traffic

I also have a NPC clutch from Madaz, been in the car for about 15 months being daily driven and it hasn't missed a beat. ever.

Its a ceramic one, not sure if its 9.5 or 10 though, can't remember lol.

edit: while I'm here, I'll need another one shortly for my new R32, needs to be able to hold 260rwkw on a RB20, and needs to be RB20 gearbox friendly.... lol

I dont need it yet, but if you could chuck me a ballpark that would be good Steve.

I have been using a clutch I bought off ebay for almost 2.5 years now. Car has made close to 300 rwkw and done 4 track days. Clutch is still going all strong. I paid something like $300 delivered. Below is a link for something similar. Get the Stage 4 clutch and it feels no different to a stock clutch.

  • 2 weeks later...

had isssues with the npc clutch, but a quick call to NPC sorted it out , the dowel pins are made extremely tight when combined with NPC lightweight flywheel. and needed a light tap to clear pins they make them so the ends are tight but fit perfect on the bolt up(angled a tiny bit almost)

tested on my nismo flywheel fit easy as no fuss

ended up on dyno with 189.7kw @10psi with quick tune and shagged x force cat blocking flow , could easy pass 200kw with new cat and more dyno time on factory pump and injectors
