Hmmm,

Organic clutches will require a heavier pressure plate to hold up the power, thus, heavier pedal.

I got a single plate 9-puck Ceramic button clutch plate installed and beefed up pressure plate at 2500lbs (more than the usual 2200 everyone else uses for a ceramic clutch)

I get shudder if not giving enough accelaration on launches etc, but that's something i have to live with.

I can chirp 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on a rough road with EASE... and 4th if i push it...

Can an organic do this ?

I never have a burny-clutch smell anymore, which is great.... plus i get to hear all the buttons clicking into place when I take of (wank factor)

Best $800 I ever spent :(

p.s. In the wet, a ceramic clutch is lethal, one slip and the wheels are spinning baby!

Strich9ine: did Ross @ autoclutch do ur clutch?

Just curious as I had a new clutch fitted by Ross thats sounds pretty much the same as yours.

Is that really what that clicking noise is on take off? Ah...hrm I thought it was something wrong haha woops :D

Very nice clutch...I can chirp into 2nd and 3rd as well, but I haven't tried 4th yet. If anyone in Perth is looking for a new clutch, go and see Ross @ Autoclutch in Osbourne Park. He's a top bloke and does a good job :P

Anyways, benm I don't think you've got that much to worry about. Mine started to loosen up after a couple of weeks. Now its all good. ;)

i got one of these clutches too... Proud to say i didnt stall it wen i first drove it... I was very jumpy tho... I remember one time speeding up toi go thru an amber light to turn right.. I put in bak into 2nd to turn the corner and took the clutch out like i did with the old one... Talk about a compressiopn skip... Bloody scary..

But yeh after i got use to it i could chirp 4th in my gts4!

  • 2 weeks later...

Benm, I got the daikin heavy duty clutch fitted today as well.

mine didnt seem to be as hard to drive as yours.

The clutch pedal is even slightly lighter than the original and I can get the car moving without even touching the accelerator just by using the natural pull which I couldnt do with my standard clutch.and one more thing, its much harder to put the gear into 1st and reverse. It feels like there are not enough oil or lubricant or something.

do you have the same prob Benm?

I give it a few hard launch at 3000rpm and theres nothing smelly at all.

I asked the mechanic who fit the clutch for me and ask him why the pedal is so light. he told me he put some grease at the bearing.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
