So I have been watching some of the video's peddling these and on paper they look like magic. 

I have a r34 getrag with a nismo supercoppermix  and its amazing to drive, just holds the power but the box is noisy and I would like a little more room power wise. 

 

So the claim is with the new dampening design in the Uniclutch I will get "near" factory levels of gearbox noise without the dual mass flywheel. 

The torque ratings are very high so power seems like no issue, 800ft/lb will be near 1000hp on an rb26.  

 

So the only question I have is pedal weight,  it will be going from pull to push.  I have an injury that means an overly heavy pedal will not be do-able. 

 

Any one used one yet ?

From what they say, the pedal weight should be less than most comparably rated clutches. So.... perhaps you shouldn't worry? The lower end of their range is supposed to be stock pedal weight or lighter, and the race end is supposed to be "surprisingly light", from what I gathered from (likely) the same vids.

Speaking to them over email at the moment, they did suggest the track model might be better for 1000hp which I imagine is covering themselves. 

 

Getting a straight answer on which flywheel to use is proving tricky, might be easier to just call them. 

 

Any recommendations on a pull to push conversion ?

Been looking at ORC and ATS but both state specific to their clutch.

Track version is now out for the GTR. 

Got this when i asked about track version still having RDC, which is good news. 

 

"All UniClutch’s have silent shift - even the track version. So never any chatter . Track has Quad drive noise dampening which has less angularity than dual drive RDC, but it’s stronger, and will still dampen noise in a Petrol vehicle without a dual mass flywheel . Would be a little noisier in a diesel if the DMF has been swapped out. But that is usually 4x4s and there is a 4Terrain UniClutch tuned for that type of vehicle - ie a Patrol.

 

Still no detail on which flywheel to use with the BNR34 nor a recommended pull to push conversion.

From Uniclutch 

 

"For the flywheels, both the R32 and R34 GTR are very similar and share the same UniClutch fitment kit so you can purchase whichever you like. Just be aware that you would set it up according to the flywheel you buy. If using an R32 GTR flywheel, setup the UniClutch like an R32 GTR.

Yes, you will need a pull-to-push conversion. We are working on a pull type UniClutch, however, this is expected near the end of the year. The OS Giken stuff works great."

 

Trying to decide between these two flywheels -

Any others I should be looking at ?

would a NPC one work?

and here's their catalogue:

Just some day one info. 

It is heavy, the flywheel being built in makes for a solid setup.  Will try and weigh with a flywheel to compare to a direct clutch or nismo twin.

Also the advertised torque is peak, which is not unsurprising and explains my previous conversations. So real torque is about 1000 FT/lB, plenty for a 1000hp GTR.  

Considering mine is making 600ft/lb wheels, 650-80 ish fly(?) lots of room for more power :)

Any updates?

Curious to know/hear/see experience on these clutches and if it's just all hype.

Other option is just to get a run of the mill Xtreme Twin Plate organic and enjoy life and not worry about complications.

 

My clutch is starting to do weird shit after 3x motors and 10+ years of abuse.

When you ride it, and try to park the shit box, it sounds like a munted horse after 10 cones.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Anything for a 2003-2005 G35 will fit an M35. Just be mindful about clearance if you're running a plenum spacer or runner spacer.

      You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha     "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You don't lose spark if your battery isolator isn't wired correctly and the ECU still has power from the alternator.   Car has an epic wiring problem. Sounds like power connected really really badly in places. Possibly a power pin on a ground pin for the ECU, and constant power in locations that should be switched ignition.   It needs someone good at diagnosing electrical, a good multimeter, and someone with the wiring diagrams to match the engine loom that has been put into the car, and wiring diagrams for the body side of things from the car.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By PNM35 · Posted

      Hi folks, what options exist for PNM35 or what models share the same dimensions and fitment for the front top of tower strut brace. I have seen a few options pop up through Google, the Ultra Racing Australia for one. I have seen some eBay ones that claim they fit C34 and M35 but can't find details if to work out if its true. Also found Taiko / TEMA4x4 claim the one type fits: - Nissan Stagea (2-nd gen; M35) 2001 - 2007, - Nissan Skyline (V35, HV35, NV35, V35, PV35) 2001 - 2007 - Infiniti G35, G35X (3-rd gen; V35) 2002 - 2006 But not sure how true that is. Anyone fitted one or know of someone using one and can confirm what does fit?

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      I got the full kit.   The compressor as above is much smaller and lighter.  Also quieter. Bracket is visually mint and much lighter. The dryer and heat exchanger(rad) are one unit. Also smaller and lighter.  Much more room for an oil cooler. The fan I got was a bit Meh and I might change it.   And above all else it is more efficient, tested a good 3-4 degree's cooler than the old system, which is a lot. Disclaimer though - It wasn't a back to back test given different days. It really does feel colder though(always).  And this example is in my car with that crusty looking old compressor, not new vs new
