Hey there,

ive got a slipping clutch... i can take off and drive normal etc etc... but no spinning wheels for me! my clutch is on its way out.

so what do you suggest for a good clutch under $1000

its a r33 gts-t s2, and car will be used just for normal driving with the occasional boosting...

i heard the standard clutches are crap, so im guessing its alot better to buy something heavy duty instead of buying standards every now and then.

hmm nothing wrong with spendin 350bucks on a excedy heavy duty clutch.. thats what i have got and no problems at all after 5 months..

unless you got some crazy power figure, then a triple clutch is probably needed..

search around websites n see for yourself..

This always comes up.. the answers are always

Jim Berry, Xtreme or Excedy..

I went with the xtreme and -would- go with jim. I'd get xtreme again as well no problem.. pushin 200rwkw and it's perfect.

I found everyone I spoke to that had anything to do with excedy was a rude unhelpful f**ker.

I went for a non name brand one from specialised brake and clutch out west somewhere near penrith i think....

cost about 650 or so for a 9 puck sprung centred brass button...

basically i wanted something as light and with as little of an "on-off" feeling as possible... this does wonders, can still get decent hill starts but will grip for all buggery with ~230rwkw...

Just got my clutch replaced, i couldnt go over 3000 rpm without slip :thanks: anyway i went for an exedy sports organic, everything cost me $950 .. damn good clutch good for launching off the mark and driving around sydney streets , i basicly have a near stock r33 S1.5

PM me if you want more details

I have a OS Giken triple plate clutch and it is almost too much!!! the clutch is the cheep part (unless you get a double or triple plate) the Labour of getting it in is were all the money comes in!

Get the best clutch that you can afford and stick with it! If you are looking for a good clutch i have herd great things about the Exeedy heavy duty.

In Canada we really like the Nismo and OS Giken clutches for some reason

I love my clutch but it is really heavy and it slaps me all the time... i guess she is making sure i know who is GODZILLA!

thanks for reply everyone,

im not after something un-drivable my cars just stock and might be running near 200kw not rwkw

has anyone got links or can tell me the major differnece (in the feeling) of driving the different "puck" or "brass button" or "triple/double plate" clutches

thanks

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
