Well, spoke to soon!

My clutch is now due for repalcement, its starting to slip after about 4k rpm

Not bad, almost 4 years to the day since it went it, and close to 90,000kms of city driving :wave:

Getting another one

I have an Extreme 6 Puck clutch for my GTR (Although not yet Fitted)

I dont envisage any problems with it, I have ran Brass buttons in my last 4 (FJ20T, SR20DET, RB30ET) Performance cars and have not had one fail yet, a lot of the problems you here about are due to the way the Car / Clutch is driven.

yeah, I've got the 9puk ceramic cushion doova on mine with a different flywheel that was machined before it went in.. it's as light to drive as my pulsar.. doesn't have hell bite though, but it doesn't quite slip either.

cubes: call xtreme direct and ask for a supplier, you should save a couple of hundred less than horsepower in a box :laugh: well I did for the distributor here anyhow.

thanks..

Now I need another flywheel.. You selling yours? lol

Let us know how chewed the molly flywheel is and if its machineable. :P

Well all done..........

Cromoly Flywheel needed a very light skim, but for almost 100k it was in great nick. The pressure plate had copped a bit of wear, some groves on that.

Got the 6 puck Extreme, 50% more clamp pressure

Feels quite bitey to drive, but I don't mind that. Not much more than the one I had before.

Shaun reckons the Extreme cushioned 9 puck jobs tend the overheat the friction material, leading to early slippage. The 6 puck friction setup takes longer to heat, and longer to fail, so he went with one of those for my car.

Being a CroMo flywheel too, I think its a little less savage than the same clutch on the stock f/wheel

So there you go Cubes, I reckon that will be the go for you, with a RB30/manual setup anyhow

Fingers crossed i get another 4 years out of this one :O 4 years to the DAY that I had it replaced last time!

Yerp the extreme one i had in the car when i got it had burnt the std flwheel a little, and no doubt would have led to some slippage.

Good idea on the replacement with that clutch.

Now ive been using the OS twin for a while, i doubt ill ever go back. Its softer than the ceramic, and soo much nicer to drive.

I dont think Cubes will need a new clutch soon, just a nice shift kit for an auto :):ninja:

I had a xtreme cerametalic whatever with 860kg pressure plat with stock SR flywheel - no problem. Had it well machined though.

I'm just wondering if it's possible that the gearbox has shat itself? Put in new clutch, grippy grippy, dump a few and kill an already dying gearbox?

With a 1500kg pressure plate wouldn't there be a lot of flex in the firewall? Maybe the slave etc isn't lining up nicely??

a mate of mine is running an exedy brass button 5 puck clutch in his r33, he uses it for drifting and NEVER NOT ONCE have i seen him not thrash that thing. 5 years later its starting to slip.

The key with these clutches -

Good flywheel - cromoly seems to work well

Don't ride them too much - more you slip them the quicker they wear

almost 100k of city driving, it seemed to work well with me!

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
