Clutch upgrade

Hi all

 

i am deciding on my clutch to support my max 500 bhp at flywheel.

 

i have seen numorous brands, what brand will you pick or well known?

would you also install a lighted flywheel?

 

i have seens clutches from stage 2 to 4.

is there any harm in installing stage 4 if I don't need it?

i think stage 4 is 500 bhp and above

 

finally would you have a go yourself to replace it? Is it a tough job if you are one man ?

i was thinking i could get a transmission support

This isn't need for speed, ignore the whole stage 1,2,3 crap

Call NPC Performance clutches. Aus made (use some exedy stuff) and do a good product. I have their lightned flywheel and 10" sprung button clutch in my car, had it for years and has always been great, pedal feels resonably light

They also do a twin plate if you want to go all out

Please Google first and then post here if you still need more help. Usually Google will point you to a number of SAU posts as most subjects have been exhaustively discussed over the years...e.g.

which clutch for modified Skyline

or...what clutch for 300kw RB

or.. how to replace clutch on Skyline R34

etc

also scroll down to 

Tutorials / DIY / FAQ  and see what help is available there.

Warning: doing a clutch by yourself can be dangerous so read all the instruction carefully so you don't get pinned by the car or have a gearbox fall on you !

Stage 12 exedy should see you through

Nobody who knows anything about clutches uses the word "stage".  Same with cams.  The only thing that comes in stages is the mail in the wild west, 175 years ago.  Oh, and nitrous.

My car has 700 ish at the flywheel through an Exedy Hyper Twin Plate clutch.
Seems to do the job so far.

The OS Gayken twin plate is a beast too.

Stage 3 nitrous or 3 stage nitrous?

Dont bother with a clutch. Stage 17 weight reduction

[admS15]

Don't discount the ogayra racing clutch (ORC) range of clutches either. Stage 6 triple with gtr offset will do the trick for 500bhp, sweet as [emoji12]

Going to Costco for a 12pack carton of microwave popcorn.

Please discuss Full Monty v twin plate v stage 4 button.

Clearly both.  2 of the big ones.

Sorry to jump in this topic like this. Does anyone know what power rating a nismo 30210-RSR40 clutch kit is rated for rb25. Maybe this would also be good for his application. I have one sitting here but have no idea what power it can handle.

Stage 3 flywheel with Stage 7 pressure plate and Stage 11 friction plate...

From GTR UK:

Standard Nissan cover produces 900 KgF Clamp force
Nismo 30210 RSR40 produces 1050 KgF
Nismo 30210 RS581 produces 1200 KgF

Thanks. I look but seems like this clutch kit is no longer available.
It's a copper mix disk and like kiwiRS4T post a bit stiffer pressure plate.
