personally from my own experience i would not go these clutches. I bought one made up like that and am only making 250rwkw and a new flywheel, only to find that the clutch blew totally after 2 months... Best bet is to go for a twin plate set-up in case u want to go further or want to race it on the track and the strip...

Hmm I'm still waiting to install mine (my car is off the road) I hope this doesn't happen to me.

Everyone drives differant, so its hard to gauge how a clutch will hold up, doesnt matter which brand

I have a extreme, the heavy duty one, and mine has been on there now for almost 3 1/2 years, done 62,000kms and still grips like all hell, I would definatley get one of these again.

Mine is also running with a cromoly 4.5kg flywheel, installed the same time. All those kms where done making around 200rwkw too

Dunno what you guys are worried about, just put it in and enjoy!

has anyone tried the Xtreme DSBHD with the 5 puk design? Im seriously thinking in this one but the mechanic says is shudders and is a bitch in traffic. :D But i want something with minimal slipage and that can stand a bit ......well more than a bit....of thrashing every now and then. :) WHat do you guys think,

Anyone?

Dono how to do it and never done it before.

Oh yeah and as per my other thread I think even with the kit in the car won't move cos of the gearbox :

When are you doing the work? Dumhed still booked in? If it's still off the road in a couple of weeks and you need a hand with it pm me and i'll help out.

I've done 3 in the last month now so am getting relatively good at it. SR boxes are easy.

I got a 9 puch cushioned ceramic in my 200SX. The 860kg pressure plate feels like stock! I was hoping it would be stronger. The clutch shudders a lil on take off, but it bites when you want it to. It suprisingly has quite a bit of play like an organic. Maybe next time I'll get the 1 tonne pressure plate. But I do recommend this clutch for someone who wants the middle ground between an organic and button style clutch.

Hey champ,

As you prollz know already unfortunately some geezer crashed into his car. Ima let the man work out his shit out first before bothering him bout mine.

As for me - yeah I'm still waiting heh ... :boohoo:

i bought one of the xtreme ceramic cushioned kits from Tim Poss. back in the RPM day. I think it must be the 9 puck one coz i remember a lot of puks. I was told it would be good for around 220rwkw and i believe its only the 800kg pressure plate.

Been running it hard with over 260rwkw for a while now and it will only give up its grip on really harsh near-flatshifting. This is running RE55 tyres also so even more of a challenge for the clutch. All in all never given any problems, and i think if it was going to smash it wouldve by now! I dont have any of the parking problems cubes mentioned either. It used to shudder a little if i treid to ride it, but now its smooth -must be getting low or something. Girlfriend can drive it without stalling it no worries.

just a Quick note.. I thought id add this as im looking possibly for a new clutch soon and have been hovering over this Thread for Weeks like some :rofl:

I rang SAS and they have Quoted $660 for supply of the DCBHD and supply of New flywheel as well $620.44 for the Flywheel . $1280.44 . Is this a reasonable price for this kit ? as im still rather confused here hehe . Do i need the Flywheel ?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
