Then your in the same boat (pardon the pun) that i am...... Got a clutch rated to 330kw or something that is now welded to my flywheel as i tried to go over the recommended rating by 30kw lol.....1500kms of that and i now have no clutch at all...... For a $1100 clutch it wasnt worth the 5000kms i got out of it, if i was not such a tight ass i could have sold it and upgraded but i thought along the same lines you are...... I now know with ALL mods to do the right the first time, it cost more down the line doing it twice!!

Hmmm i might do a little more look up on this clutch then, but i did look around quite alot at the power it could handle.

If i have a detune to ~250kw so be it, then ill leave it at that until i can afford another clutch.

The Sports Organic Kit you have listed is completely different to a standard HD Exedy unit. The Exedy units are a well built unit compared to some of the other shit going around, also a clutches lifespan really depends on the driver and how you treat it, however since you are modifying beyond some basic mods in the future a multi plate or ceramic compound might be more viable, again other problems arise like destroying gearboxes.

Hope that helps.

I have two clutches for sale - one for an R34 GTR - Exedy twin plate, very driveable, only done 10,000 km and 8,000 of that was going across the Nullabor and back so not using it much!

The other is an ATI carbon twin plate for an R32/R33 GTR. I will have to check whether it is push or pull, I can never remember. This one is near new, barely used.

Not sure if either of those will fit your car and gearbox. Probably not. But both are very driveable and not grabby at all. Not like my current NPC twin plate. Now that thing grabs! Makes hill starts an interesting activity!

Let me know if any use for you and I will work out a price.

Cheers,.

Not much chop if its your daily. I leave for work at 430 and get home at 830. I would change it if I had to put up with traffic.

We have a love/hate relationship

'Even' button clutches? Button clutches are not hard to drive with haha. Not compared to a twin plate. Try getting a rwd car moving in bumper to bumper traffic with a twin plate for a few days, see how you feel about it then haha. Even better is taking off after getting pulled over by cops...

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
