Had mine in for about 1000kms and love it. went to a track day last week and have a drag day at the end of the month. Do get chirps taking off sometimes if im at a complete stop, if i have a slight roll its nice and smooth taking off.

Clutch in, so far so good. Its acting like a twin plate at the moment, cant take off without spinning the wheels lol. The pedal is lighter somehow than the old excedy cushion button, which is awsome since the NPC carbotic is a much tougher clutch.

Only thing was the spigot bush that came with the NPC was 1mm thicker in ID so had to source another one.

You and your shimmed diff lol

Well 2 weeks of 360kw and my Excedy Cushion button shat itself :/ so I'll call NPC and see what they recommend for 400kw as that's my next stop lolz

was it the pink pressure plate Exedy or the silver plate? saying that the NPC one is crazy good, so good I feel sorry for my gearbox LOL

It was that long ago i cant remember.... It hasnt done many KM's but its been in there a while... i think it was pink, i know the plate was pink anyway....

For 400kw they will recommend a twin plate

Ghey! :(

For 400kw they will recommend a twin plate

I don't know why they would. Our NPC single plate 10" clutches are both holding 400-450rwkw happily for over a year now. Drag events, circuit racing. No problems.

We rate them up to 600whp before we suggest a twin plate is necessary

Yep, the pink ones are made here, they're pretty much just modified factory spec pressure plates as Jim Berry told me, he goes the Silver ones are from Japan and they're suppose to be more serious.

I've had the Silver plate before from a R32 GT-R with a 4-Puk Ceramic, did me well for over 1 years till I sold the car, wonder if it's still going strong with the 3rd owner.

Ah. I have that npc 10", but i swear the guy said it will hold up to 400kw and after that a twin plate is recommended. Maybe i miss heard.

It's possible that slight arse covering is being done there. Maybe they don't want to say they can do something and then have one guy prove them wrong.400wkw is getting close to where we've tested them up to so I'm guessing that would be why they would say that

This is what i want to hear! :yes:

I'm referring to the 5puk button variety btw. The organic we don't really push past 300rwkw

Yep just spoke to them about it, with modification he is confident it will hold the 400rwkw...... BUT it'll be a little pigish to drive daily :( anyone using one of these in a daily?

Hmmm thanks guys, will research all options but the guys at NPC seem to be the best in terms of knowledge etc so far :)

The button can be modified to hold 400kw so that should do!

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.

    • 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.  
    • 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   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • 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.
