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!

wowowo

thankyou.....

Another happy NPC customer here. Not running as much power as some others but im really happy with mine. Sounds like the same as what they offered you. Hasnt missed a beat in 3 years I think ive had it. Getting it rebuilt soon purely because the gearbox will be out unless it still has plenty of meat

Lash out and get the NPC flywheel if you have the money to. Its a good product and saves 3-4kg from memory

^ with the carbotic, I found it harder to drive than a 4 Puk Exedy ceramic clutch, but once you get used to it, it's fine.. just avoid hills lol.. I usually bake tyres starting off on steep hills.

However, I have driven an EVO with a NPC Organic, it's quite pleasant to drive.

ok thanks - what do you mean harder to drive? when releasing clutch where it engages? is that what ppl mean (taking off from a stop) if this is what it means i feel like an itdiot lol

Taking off can be rough. It cant be ridden or else the it causes shuddering so you gotta push the rpm up. 3 years is awesome life span. How many km have you guys done in that time? Up hill in rain is terrible. In actual fact I avoid big up hills when its raining, mostly and especially car park ramps. Make sure you do bed the clutch in properly.

I used a 5puk for a week and then removed it, in traffic it was terrible, my gearbox and driveline felt like it was getting raped..

Unless your car see's ALOT of track work then don't bother.. :unsure:

Keep in mind, the organic will take a good beating but I would imagine that the heat will get to it after prolonged abuse, so maybe a lightened flywheel with cooling slots would be a compromise, but that's another subject. I vote for NPC organic.. done.. :yes:

yeah i guess it is hard to pick as i might drive it to work once a week low traffic and or once or twice week jsut cruising round - reset will be on the track -

i think this clutch will be a good starting point for me as things might change and car may end up 90% track/ drift so to start off will see how this goes

when you guys have replaced ya clutch and seals - where are you getting your seals ? basic nissan seal or an aftermarket seal?

Nissan, do not get ling long..

eBay US is a good place to find them OR kudosmotorsports is good too.. (a little pricey, but good service and speed)

With the NPC carbotic, do you guys gently ease the clutch in when taking off, or just dump it with a few thousand rpm (like i do)? I heard these clutches CANNOT be slipped at all.

The carbotic can be driven like most clutches, if you are gentle you get a slight shudder and if you a harsh you get skids :woot:

Genuine Nissan! Wasnt that bad from memory!

ive had npc bigmouth 10" clutch for 3yrs now bought in sep 2010, 3 test n tunes, 5 powercruises and its still going.. power has been around 400-480rwhp mostly thru out the 3yrs

Bigmouth? :P hehe....... My Jim Berry has done 2 powercruises and mainly street duties BUT i love it!

Good to know, i went with the NPC 10" Carbotic pull- type for the GTT, was expensive (god damnit pull type!) but it should last me a fair while. When bedding it in should i slip it, dump it or a half/half situation?

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
