[Reese69]

Hey guys

i have read alot of ppl here recommend the NPC clutches - i have just got my car back and aint is slipping now

NPC have offered -

10inch 5 puk carbotc button kit. this style of clutch will retain a factory pedal effort while holding up to 450rwkwThis style of clutch will be good for drift & track use. $800 deliver (so far price seems good)

i just wanna see who else is running this and what is there opinion -

i am running RB25det 315kw R33

Hmm I payed 400 for my 5 puk carbotic clutch and its rated for pretty big power. Its still holding up after about 40000km. Ive heard they don't last as long as regular clutch material in standard cars. Do they give a life expectancy of their clutch?

[Reese69]

na i didnt ask - but i been asking round and alot of companies in australia have said with my power i should be using twin or tripple plate..

then npc sent me this one.. and he said it is rated at 450kw lot higher then my car (314kw) and suits drift and track, so should suit me well - i will be driving it 1-2 days a week and then some drift days through out the year -

so i guess i wanna cover my power output that will suit my driving ie some street and drift (not pro lol)

i might ask him when i call him to order the kit.

one of the guys in canberra that is drifting all the time said he put in the 5 puk carbotic clutch.. and said its the way to go - how long it last i dont no

what sort of driving are you doing? and power output?

[SargeRX8]

Yeah this guy told me its the best thing to go with before going twin plate and its popular with drifters. What he told me though that the torque figure is more important than the kw. I was expecting the car to produce 320rwkw and about 500nm torque. The shop told me its the power is fine and its capable of holding about 600nm of torque.

I don't do drifting or anything but thats not to say the car hasn't seen some 1st gear launches and 2nd/3rd drops. Currently pushes 260. I also will say the clutch does not feel like a standard clutch in terms of pedal feel. My old exedy was heavier than this but this is also heavier than stock.

[Reese69]

mmmm thats interesting -

yeah i have been told its the torque out put - mine put out 480nm

wouldnt life be easier if they said clutch X suited for drift drag street blah blah, and will hold XYZ amount of torque..

do you have the part number for yours or a link?

most exedy dealers are advising me the stage 1 sports ceramic clutch -

I have 470hp running a single npc clutch and I can drop it in 3rd under full power and it just takes the punishment, and on the complete opposite side. My misses who hasn't driven a manual car since doing her license a good 4 year ago can drive with my clutch with minimal problems

My clutch was custom made. Keith from penrith clutch engineering built mine. I gave him figures he calculated and built it. How long do regular clutches last?

[Reese69]

nice nice,

i honeslty think npc will be the way i go - alot of ppl here through different cluch links recommend them and this is what they have offered me - i gave em all my details power and plans so i think i am gonna go for it - i am getting to many different opinions on exedy and then different opinions in quality ect - nothing negitive from npc -

guess i will soon find out

um not sure on how long - i might give him a call tomorrow and ask

[wolverine]

Have you looked in the drivetrain section? Since that is the correct section there is lots of info on clutches there.

You won't go far wrong with anything from NPC.

[Reese69]

yeah i have thats why i mentioned it in my first post -

i was after opinions on if anyone else had the same clutch npc offered me, and how it was going for them and what power and driving they do..

(admin if this is suited or should be else where drivetrain then move if thats the case) apoligies

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

I run the same clutch and love the effortless pedal feel, however I should have gone with the organic. The carbotic is a little silly for mainly street use lol (up carpark ramps are funny hahaha)

[wolverine]

^^ I agree.

For the street the NPC organic holds plenty of power and is a pleasure to use. NPC might play it safe and tell you to go the carbotic clutch but unless you are a serial wife beater the organic clutch will be nicer to use day to day and will stand up to spirited use.

[Reese69]

thanks guys - i guess i will need to decide how much street driving i will be doing and if it will be an issue..

thanks for the opinions got alot to think about

cheers

i run a NPC single 10" carbotic in a 400 rwkw rb26/30 powered drift car.. it loves it. Clutch has been going for near 3 years now, took it out not long ago and it had only worn 5% of the material off... so well and truly still serviceable!
