Which Clutch :s

[ECR-033]

I have the 10" carbotic in my daily and its fine, every now and then it likes to be a little rough but its not bad, just gives a little jolt or chirp at most.

[Hadouken]

I use mine every 3rd night? not too bad. I just drop it at around 1700rpm, I don't bother driving it smooth (clutch will last longer). Up the car park ramp at my gym is gold, there's a speed hump midway up. I usually just handbrake then chirp it over, people think I am retarded.

Because race car

Sweet, thanks guys! More parts i didnt budget for...... Car has done 1500kms since tune and has killed coilovers and clutch so far, what next? (Nobody answer that, Flamin Mongrels) lol

[ARTZ]

done a few thousand on my Carbotic now Mat..2 track days..

Its no pig its a dream to drive man, you won't be disappointed at all

unless you prefer grumpy old man clutches...why anyone would want one or one of those crappy rattly metal things is beyond me.

.The NPC is all class

Ah sweet! Thanks for that

Has it still got a good pedal feel etc? Apparently he said mine will be modified as ill aim for 400kw eventually....

Crazy kent

I slip my 10' NPC every time I take off, I know its not the best for the clutch but I'm 2 years in and its still showing no signs of slipping.

There a quality product thats for sure. I'll have a look at mine when the engine comes out of my car in the last half of this year.

Can always send it back for a rebuild anyway

[BLITZ-26]

I also did some calling around apparently confusing ppl when i called after matt had lol .... but i have the silver plated excedy comp clutch abd jim berry said its a good bit of gear and he can build it to handle 450kw + with a 10" or bigger something and solid centre carbon thingo ?? sounds good he built my mates cusco hyper angle and its amazing and handles all the clutch kicking he can thor at it withh 300 odd kw so might go down that path

LOL, i spoke to Jim for nearly 2 hours yesterday man!

He said they will be a pretty tough bit of gear, mine will be different specs to yours though as ill be on the road more than track

I got that Exedy Silver NC10T push pressure plate from a R32 GT-R if you want it, it's 1.1 tonnes

Problem is your GT-t is Pull not Push, unless you want to convert it to a push setup. Cheaper in the end.

So yeah, I've had my NPC clutch for nearly 2 years, about 15 000 km & 3 track days..

It's starting to slip!

In 4th when you mash the pedal it will slip a little/shudder then bite & my friction point is quite high up. It engages in the last 1cm or so.

I think it's dead, maybe my mates have ridden it to death

How long has your NPC carbotic lasted?

[89CAL]

I pulled my NPC when I did my engine change out. decided to get it rebuilt rather then having to pull the gearbox out later on if it started slipping. Have to say, the clutch looked great, no marks/hot spots etc on the flywheel or pressure plate and the friction material, besides being worn, looked great. Best looking clutch I've ever pulled out of a car. Could have gone back in but was running low on friction material so thought I'd start fresh

They were very helpful and quick rebuilding the clutch to. Sent it away Thursday I think, had it back on Tuesday or wednesday.

Mine should have been similar in design i guess and after 5000km it also looked brand new... I would go with Callans suggestion and just get a freshen up, its just new pads and a quick clean up most likely... Could be other causes for the premature wear though not necessarily the clutch itself, grease or oil contaminating it etc... Only way to know is to pull it out and have a squizz!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

I'm just a little concerned about the premature wear, especially my car isn't make more than 200kW

Might pull out the box next weekend whilst I fit the new turbo

[89CAL]

I ran 255rwkw for pretty much the whole time I had the clutch in, and I daily drive it and slip it on the street a fair bit. So I'd say if the wear on mine was excessive then it was to be expected. I dont think it was terribly worn but, should have measured how much material was left and compared to new.

The rebuild is basically a complete new clutch. The pressure plate I think was brand new and they just removed and replaced the pads on the clutch plate, must have checked the springs etc and the spline as well but this wasnt replaced (all looked good when I pulled it out so not suprised)

All up it cost me just shy of $500 with a new throwout bearing and express delivery, so while thats not 'cheap' its not to bad for a new clutch considering new ones are up near $800 now I think?

This is all my NPC gear reconditioned:

Yep good plan! There is no way its power related and it shouldnt wear that quick unless its been driven like shit...

Pull it out and report your findings

will do captain

need to stock up on beer for extra help lol

Just copper mix it and be done with it. If you did it in the first place you would have to pull the box out again!
