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

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
