General consensus is

1a. Jim Berry clutch, very good single plate clutch (about $1200 plus install I thinkl)

1b. Exedy, Australian clutch? village bike (single, twin, puck, button, whatever :laugh: ) From driving my brothers car they seem to be quite heavy clutches.

1c. Nismo Super Coppermix or other Japanese aftermarket clutch ($1500+, plus install). Check Perfect Run, Nengun etc.

2. Flywheel is also a good option for ~$500, install of that should not be much more seen as the though the gearbox out is most of the work.

Whats the price on a clutch + flywheel install anyway?

clutch + flywheel install on a gtst will be around $400 + any parts needed

same on a GTR will be double :blink:

I have just ordered a clutch from slide http://www.slidingperformance.com/catalog/...products_id=239

and have heard really good things about it. and for $500 its a fantastic price. it will be going behind 240rwkw and used for drift and normal street use

I will update with results when it is installed on the 20th.

Cheers

No i dont. actually. you'll find i quite often link people where i can.

This forum is a wealth of information :no:

If you wanted to be "helpful" you could post links to the reviews you speak of ;)

i have the exedy 5 puck clutch in now and it BITES like a wild animal. the car feels much better to drive with it.

it does shudder in reverse going up hills like when you back out of a a driveway when you are coming off the pressure point. but it is tolerable.

Xtreme cushion button.Never looked back.

i'll second that!

easy to drive as well ideal for street use with the occassional spirited spurt.

they are pretty cheap as well..$500 for the whole clutch kit

cheers

good to hear!

just ordered one today for my 32 with the chrome moly flywheel as well

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
