Pay more for a npc but it's worth the money ten fold. Spoke to my exedy rep and either the pressure plate or clutch plate are made by them I cannot recall.

Would not recommend another clutch as it's by far the best "upgraded" mod that still drives like stock.

For me that's over heavy clutches, locked diffs and bullshit noises I love mine to pieces.

Knowing now I can limiter drop it hard I have ultimate faith in it.

No

Mine failed after about 8 months with 250rwkw

NPC is much better. Never ever had a drama. Got it rebuilt when I put my new engine in but that was only to extend the life. Still looked great after 3 years

Confirmation bias, I've installed more than I can count and all of them have been fantastic with zero issue.

Homo pink junk.

Needs to be at least Exedy Sports Organic, or Sports Ceramic (silver pressure plate, made in Japan)

Why? Mine held 370kw launches all day every day.

I got an exedy cushion button because they were 'the clutch to have' for city driving etc when you had a bit of power

I almost never did anything abusive to it and one day driving home from work it started slipping in 3rd.

NPC were great to deal with, spent 20mins on the phone helping me choose the right clutch for me and got it all sorted same day, had it in my hands 1 or 2 days later. The clutch has never slipped, the pedal is lighter and I'm making alot more power than before

So I guess I am just bias and noone should listen to me?

I've been there and done that. Im only bagging out one clutch as well btw. I know the hhhhdb clutchs or whatever they are handle some power, but i bet the pedal makes your leg alot sorer than my clutch

You sure it's not Sports Organic or Sports Ceramic? Because the pink pressure plate ones are a croc of shit. Exedy modify the oem pressure plates then spray them pink.

Only the sports range is a silver pressure plate that's made specifically for more clamp.

I doubt that pink rubbish is holding 370kW, I've cooked one with less than 240kW on my old R33.

I have Exedy Extra HD Cushioned Button, 290KW, plenty of hard launches and plenty of clutch kicks 20,000 kms later and it still feels fine. Still doesn't slip at all on me despite the abuse I've given it. I only went Exedy because I had a hard time getting a hold of the guys at NPC so I gave up.

I had an exedy HD organic on my s15 with 220rwkw. Held the power well but after 6 months had problems. After driving for half an hour, couldn't shift gears properly. Pulled it apart, clutch disc was almost new still, everything looked OK but pressure plate was farked. Pink one. Never again, now running NPC organic in the 33. Happy days.

Homo pink pressure plate

I had one of those cushion button in my gtst and it was the worst clutch I ever had, the friction point would change as the car warmed up, it felt like it never fully released cause the box felt really notchy and adjusting it didn't help

Got one in mine now. Exactly the symptoms and problems I had for the first 5 months. Better now though so probably means I am up for another clutch soon, just wait and see.

I also HAD the same problem - It went away after I pulled the gearbox off last time.

If I was to do it again I would go NPC

FWIW.. NPC actually uses Exedy parts :)

Exedy Pink = gay

Exedy Silver = good

NPC (Which is just Exedy) = bettererererer

You are right it was the silver pressure plate, and I should correct myself and say that I have installed numerous cushion buttons WITH the silver pressure plate.

I assume a lot of you guys got the one with the pink pressure plate? I haven't heard of any of the silver ones failing so far.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
