I had an Exedy HD (Silver cover) fried it in about 10000km with 270rwkw for most of its short life. Now have 300+kw

DCS twin in the car now ceramic multi button, pedal is lighter than the exedy and took about 10 minutes to figure out how to drive it.

They do the same clutch with full face plates which should be even easier to drive.

Seems like a relavent topic to revive.

I have an Exedy Cushioned Button in my 25 box, the 25 puts out 255rwkw. I plan on going to the drags again but have always "launched" softly as I dont have a trailer or tow car. What are the chances the clutch will hold a few good launches and be able to get me home? The clutch is actually about 7 years old now, never had an issue with it, never slipped, and has seen two track days and a couple of drag events, no drift or burnouts. I really want to get the best out of my car and can definitely start by improving my shitty 60 foot times.

It really depends what condition it is in and how hard you launch it... You wont really get a useful answer unfortunately! All you can do is try it!

well its not like it is going to 'blow up' unless you go down the 1/4 with the clutch spinning up the whole way. so really all you risk is finishing the meat on your clutch-plate (if it is nearly worn out), or perhaps glazing it up a bit.

So as long as you get off the gas if the clutch starts spinning up you don't really risk damaging it/ making the car undrivable to get home.

Don't do a burnout though, if the clutch might not be completely up to a tough task then a burnout is not a good start.

At the drags my nismo clutch (rated for less than the power I was putting down :S) would hold fine but if I did a burnout it would slip on the run...

Without a burnout I could still launch hard tho at 3000-3500rpm with a decent bit of slip to keep the revs there until track speed matched my revs...

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
