Quick question;

It seems alot of people are using 24-2500lbs clutches, will a 2000lb 5 puck ceramic put up with an RB30ET making ~250rwHP?

I want the lightest clutch i can get that wont slip, the STOCK clutch is only just starting to let go.. and i think thats ~1500 lbs.

i had the stock pressure plate on my 5 puck and it was good for about a 5 weeks until it sliped then it got bad real quick. as you may know if you slip a puck they burn up real quick. I had 270rwhp.

good thing is pucks are real cheap to rebuild $8 a button. I installed a 2500 which i thought would be real heavy but it's not at all. ive got 318rwhp now and it hasnt sliped even when i abuse it of the line.

I wouldnt worry about a 2500 being to heavy, because people that i have spoken to say its hard to notic the difference to stock when used with a fullface organic or 9 puck.

By "stock" you mean the one that comes with the normal nissan full face organic clutch kit?

OR

the one that came with the 5 puck driven plate? (or did you only buy a driven plate?

Beacuse i intend using an upgraded pressure plate (2000lbs) with the 5 puck driven plate.

What would you need if you DO do too many burnouts and 1/4 miles and say have 250rwkw?

Would an organic do?

thats exactly what i had with a 5 puck 25000lb pressureplate. 1st outing to wsid

= dead clutch.250rwkw i consider to be big power so you really need a big clutch if its gonna cope.step up to a twin plate and you wont look back

I've used the sintered iron buttons because they don't eat fly wheels and pressure plates like the sintered bronze ones do . Mine have been three button sprung center plates from Penrith Brake and Clutch . Just on this topic I'd like to know where this term "puck" comes from ?

    • The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan. 
    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
