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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
