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

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
