Hi all

I need a new pull type clutch for the 34.

Power: no more than 200rwkw, currently at 170.

Driveability: I want the same pedal feel and daily driveability as a stock system.

I also want something that I wont have to replace for another good few years! I dont abuse my car that often so hopefully a replacement will last.

Because of the above, alot of places have recommended to simply get my current clutch rebuilt with heavy duty parts that will increase the clamping pressure to hold for my power and wont slip, but pretty much drive like a stock car.

What do you guys rekon?

I have seen the Exedy Sports Tuff clutch which supposedly is very driveable, but I want stock driveability.

What do you recommend? A rebuild is good enough for me right? and how much do you think it should cost ,e?

Thanks

I just got an extreme heavy duty cusion button clutch. You can get them for around 450 and they offer a similar to stock feel, with 30% greater clamping force and greater durability. seems cheap for what it is?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
