Hi Guys,

I've booked in my car to go to race pace for a few upgrades :wave:

Just like to know if anyone has used Ben's custom clutch, and if so, could you please give me details on it. What type of cluth, HP rating etc...

I was told they are an Extreme Cushion type, dont know if its single plate or not.

Any feedback would be great :)

Thanks,

Husnu (Hus).

The new Xtreme distributor is Race Brakes, North Melbourne. You will be better off to order the clutch through them. I am sure there is nothing different apart from the price.

Send a PM to Chris (Scotsman) as he used the same clutch for his GTR, but bought it direct.

Nothing special about flywheels.

- If you want to maintain the friendliest clutch feel stick with the standard flywheel.

- If you don't care if the feel is slightly more tricky/bitey, but has a little better engine response go for a light-weight flywheel.

Do you know that for 100% certain Al?

If its custom, one assumes its modified.

As Snowy said, and as the forum words go. If its Benno's, it works.

Hus - i would just ask Ben. He would be the best person to talk to about what it is, what it consists of etc.

I think we all know the quality of work Ben does, personally id rather take my car to him knowing he wont stuff you around and you have backup service from an expert with GTR's..

You take out all the guess work if you take it to Racepace.

Any money spent at Racepace is money well spent from my experience..

Cheers

I have one of these Racepace clutches in my car, it drives nice, it holds my 300rwkw+, and they are reasonbly priced, what more do you want?

Take my advice, don't f**k around or it may end up costing you stupid amounts of $. If had of got one of these first off 2 years ago i would seriously be 5k+ better off. Long story...

I have one in my GTR as well, Ben gives you two options, one is a softer one but last longer and the other is obvious but regardless compare to all the BRANDs one, his custom one works as good and doesn't cost an arm or a leg.

I start to wonder if BEN is getting bored for not racing the RPMGTR and starting to speak as he normally doesn't :D.

Will we see you at Sandown ;)?

Pretty sure, i knew Vic, the previous Xtreme distributor :D.

By no means i am talking down Racepace, as Ben excells in this industry and has proven his 'formula' is a very reliable package. But a clutch is a clutch, you buy a good quality item and it sure will be reliable, nothing too special about it.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
