gday chaps , got my first taste of clutch slipping the other day and my second dose tonight to confirm that its on the way out :D

had a good run though (2 years since i bought the car with it) with highish power so i cant really complain.

this is my first manual car so i dunno how it works, i wont be driving it on high boost till i get it replaced but how long should that be now that i've got some slippage

anyone reccomend a decent clutch for 33gtst with around 225rwkw?

Extreem 9puk Ceramic Cushioned with a 1tonne pressure plate.

The 800kg pressure plate will also easily hold 223rwkw and be a little lighter on the leg.

It really is a nice clutch. Very nice hard grab yet it can still be rode slightly (for a second) before it grabs and gives a couple of slight thumps some times chirping the wheels. Very very streetable.

These clutches are getting around in quite a few 300rwkw RB's & 2JZ's.

Cost me $600.

dude i'm pretty impressed that you managed to keep that clutch going for 2 yrs with 225rwkw being your first manual.....it couldn't have been a stock clutch could it?

I've got an excedy 5-puk brass button clutch - bit of a bitch to drive thru heavy traffic, but its very nice for drifting, bites quite hard.

I just installed an Exceedy full face - will find out what model and let you know if interested. It is rated the heighest for the exceedy full face, sprung hub. (it feels very nice - not hard to drive!).  

cost for me was $550 (for a full clutch kit)

Same here, with the 850kg pressure plate.

It's actually lighter than the stock clutch I had in my GTSt, and it bites really well. Cost 800 installed ($550 for clutch), and that also included replacing the spigot bush.

On the dyno I got 200rwkw, but i have a feeling it is closer to 190..

For street use this clutch it great...

I was going to get the extreem 9 puck ceramic cushioned clutch initially, but i was told to steer clear of it by the person installing it.

Hmm $550 is a nice price.

I went on Cubes advice and ordered the DCBHD for the sr20 with 860kg pressure plate yesterday. That's 9 puk ceramic. The engine is putting out 180-200rwkw (depending which dyno you wanna go by) and will hopefully be closer to the 230rwkw with some EBC action.

Hope it's good - a lot of people seem to use this on SAU (there's a couple of other threads about this in the last month or so).

Zahos - this is the first I've anything remotely bad about them, did that person say anything?

If anyone reads this and wants to know how I went PM me in a few weeks :P

Firstly I was told my driving habbits would chew through the flywheel. I drive in traffic and up steep hills to and from work and tend to sometimes slip it a little, and that the pressure plates are made from inferior materials and can be prone to premature failure.

My driving habbits are what led him to tell me to steer clear.

The premature failure on the pressure plate he has seen in very few cases. On this point he was trying to discourage me from it, didn't tell me I shouldn't get it.

Unless you are really unlucky, you should be fine.

In terms of driving habbits, need to make sure that clutch suits your application. If it does, then I wouldn't worry about anything if I were you.

nah it wasnt, "apparently" and i say that cause thats what the previous owner claimed was that it was.. "apparently" a 33 GTR clutch modified for the gtst, but as i said thats probably not true cause the previous owner was a lying sack of shit... hi turbogtst :wavey:

has always been lovely to drive tho whatever it was

Mine is heavier than the stock GTR clutch and is rated to handle over 300rwkw. I'll check tonight to see what model and rating :rofl:

so if i get one of these but no upgraded flywheel will there be big probs?

All depends on your driving habbits.

It doesn't mean you will need to upgrade it, but just an issue of its longevity if you tend to ride the clutch a little sometimes. I wouldn't worry...
