Ok i have spent about 3 hours searching through the forum but can't find what i am looking for..

Could you guys recommend me a good clutch..i had my eyes on an exedy heavy duty but was told by a machanic that they don't last long about 12 months max. he recommended extreme but they are like $300 extra..

What i want is a clutch that last me the longest because it is a bit of a pain replacing them all the time..

what you guys think is a good clutch that last but not to difficult to drive?

thanks in advance..

ps. i got a GTST -II and in melbourne..

If you read what he was saying, you'd see he didn't want to spend $300 more on the xtreme.. so of course he would want a jim berry ;)

Well unfortunately if you're on a budget, your options are a little more limited.

There is an Xtreme full face organic for around $350.. which would do probably do the trick. Best to speak to Xtreme Sales, to ask what you might need and they will put you in touch with a local distributor who can give you a price :D

Thanks guys..

i knew about the Jim Berry but he's in qld.. and i m in vic..

i rather pay abit extra for something that last longer..and still drivable in city traffic.

i am willing to pay up to $1000 (fitted) for the thing .. any particular model you can recommend?

Thanks guys..

We do have couriers and AusPost these days :D Seriously, that's how I got my clutch to Jim. Was about $30 through Express Post.

If you're willing to pay up to $1000, I would get the Jim Berry "Stage One". Its about $700, and fitting will probably be another $300.

God damn. Exedy cheaper than exedy? That's news to me. For $1000 you can have an xtreme clutch. They're like $400!!

I have a 9puk cerametalic whatever with 860kg pressure plate. Pulling 200rwkw, goes fine, would buy one again.

This is only my opinion on how to choose a clutch but I think it works really well. Once you've figured out what you want / need in a clutch, then pay a "decent" amount of money and get a "decent" clutch that meets your needs ( even if that means not getting those 24" chrome wheels for another 2 months :O ). If you buy the CORRECT clutch, you will enjoy driving your car more, the clutch will last longer causing less headaches in the long run and you won't risk causing damage to your car ( killing the pedal box welds, master cylinder or slave cylinder or killing the gearbox itself ).

Honestly answer questions like..........

- What power do I want it to handle ?

- Where do I do most of my driving ? ( Cruising, Commuting, Drag Racing etc. )

- What is my driving style ? ( Smooth, Agressive, Both etc. )

- What kind of pedal feel do I want ? ( Heavy Button Style, Progressive/Stockish, Progressive/Heavy etc. )

- What CAN I honestly afford ? ( 24" rims scenario )

Once you know what you need, find out what's available that meets your needs ( heaps of guys on here can recommend something that fits your needs once you are specific about what you want ) and then buy it. Do this instead of saying "I've got $500 to spend on a clutch. What's the best I can get ?" and you'll be a lot happier in the long run.

:end rant: :(

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
