Hi

just was wondering how this clutch is on a gtr so those people who do have them in there GTR's can you please tell me the power your making, it's driveability and how long you have had it in the car.

I have about 350rwkw and was wondering if this clutch will last me a while. so please give me your opinions on this clutch

Cheers

I would have to say after having one in for the last month, it is not the best choice.

it performs fine and is nice and bitey. but it shudders at low speed takeofs and in reverse.

the best clutch to get will be from Jim Berry. and will not cost you much more than the exedy

I used one of these after braking an HKS twin plate, it was used up after 2000km with 290rwkw, im back to a twin plate now

Know what you mean - I fried and heat warped a basically new HKS twin plate recently. Trying out the Exedy twin plate now that is supposed to cope with heat build up better. Would certainly like to use a single, but just can't see it surviving in my application and use.

Mine has the same "shudder" on low rev take offs etc. but i also think it is

partially caused by a couple of stuffed bushes in the rear end.

My GTR has one. Making 340Kw its been in there for a while and seen plenty of track work.

All comes down to how hard you are and what you expect of the clutch.

that's the Exedy Cushion Button Clutch right??

well after alot of reading and alot of thought i have decided to go with the jim berry full monty as i know it is a proven great clutch

the reason i was looking at the exedy was because i could get it for $407 brand new of a friend of mine but i think i've made the right choice with this clutch. thanks for all your input guy's i really apreciate it

Cheers

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
