nortie clutch

[Driver]

hey guys,

i think my clutch is already in need of being replaced.. i was drivng home on the freeway i slowly started to accelerate and the revs start to creep up

how much am i looking at for a replacement that will hold around 250rkw-300rkws and not be an ass for daily driving. Oh and im not rich :aroused:

Thanks

Brendan

os giken twin plate but its not cheap anywhere from 1800 to 2500

Go talk to Ross at Autoclutch in Osborne Park. He's done a heap of single plates for SAUWA guys for a good price. I''ve taken mine drifting a few times and even after punching it in 2nd gear at 6000rpm a few times in a row there ain't a hint of slip or smell....

$850 for a brand new Exedy cushioned button 9 puck ceramic, new exedy pressure plate and bearing , supplied and fitted.

Same as Ross uses but we use a new pressure plate.

Cheers

Well thats a better deal as Ross built up my pressure plate to 2500lbs. Scratch what I said - go see Ken @ Hyperdrive.

but is the twin or plate a better clutch? eg for riding it and doing hard launches?

Price is a strong factor and yes a twin plate is better for launching but can be tricky for day to day driving.

I have used the exact same exedy in at least 3 of my GTR's , 1 GTS-T and 2 300zx's , all with no problem.

Micko has one in his GTR holding 400rwhp and has done some big launches.

tricky in what way? does it allow you to ride it? or is it just real heavy?

Few more hard launches with my standard clutch and you'll be seeing me too Ken.

I'll just pop around as usual (or push it there.....either one).

[Driver]

i only did 1 hard launch

If Ken uses the same clutch's as Ross does, it's all good.

Mine takes an absolute BEATING, it loves compression locking 3rd/2nd gear, loves the 4000rpm dump launches, loves the chirping 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.......

it's a BITCH in traffic tho.

I got the 9puck the ceramic with a 2500lbs pressure plate..... the pedal feel has gotten considerably lighter since I got it about 20k's ago, but still grips like a monkey on 'roids...

ive driven several twin plates

all felt so easy and smooth to drive, bar the unsprung hks one, so so so shit

os giken ones rock

the 9 puck 2500 ones are good for a daily single

Exact clutch that is in my car paid a bit more than $850, wicked for daily driving and you can still launch pretty hard on it.

[Driver]

thats good then

i duno why my clutch didnt last to long

i had my car for a month

im sure the previous owner was a lady as there was girly stuff left in the car.

[ix9]

My old car had a previous woman owner, and when I bought it the clutch was shagged after 32kms from new!

I still maintain that girls can't drive properly...dam clutch-riding-heel-wearing wannabes!

[PHATR32]

true....
