Hi all. Pulled out my slipping clutch this arvo. Did not know what clutch was in it but it is absolute crap! One day it is nice and firm,next day light as a feather!

Found that the rivets had broken out of the friction plate that hold on the fiberous material. Car has 181rwkw... Clutch type EXEDY EXTREME ORGANIC.

Think i will go clutch like my old car, with new one 3 puk brass button! Did'nt have a drama at all with that, copped a lot of abuse!

Overall i think they are very over rated! :santa:

That's what happened to my last clutch (also exedy organic - different car though). Also had some cracks around the springs.

It did get treated like rubbish though and lasted a while, so I got another because I didn't know of any real alternatives at the time.

They are good clutches.It all depends on what you want to do with your car,how much left leg work you want to do,and how much power it has to hold.

Stock would be much like the one you have there.Full faced but with a heavy duty button.

For 180-220rwkw i would recomend either a 8 puck as above "i have not seen these yet".5-puck,or 3 puck ceramic sprung/cushion button.They are easier on the leg for street not so much on/off feeling.And they will see you through track days well.

For 250-320rwk.Maybe a super single or twin plate???The twin is a bit harsh for street/city driving so i am told.So would be that kind of power.

Then you move into tripple plate etc.Cazy power cars.

Personally i use the 5puck ceramic sprung button and it has held out well.Though for the numerous events it has seen plus daily driving at arround 1.5yrs.It is allmost time to replace it.

Though others have differing opinions on what power they can hold.This is what i beleive they will comfortably hold.

My Exedy Organic has so performed flawlessly, and it's seen 1.5 trackdays, about 15,000km and 6 months - maybe more (not sure.

How it looks today:

This is the bellhousing after 6 months - look Ma, not dust !

My pressure plate assembly is the same used for the brass puck clutch, rated at 70% higher clamping force than stock.

just finished putting in a HD exedy clutch. feels real good and holds up through 2nd and 3rd no slip. I was thinking of getting a small (20thou) step machined into the flywheel ,they're suppposed to be flat, to give it a bit more clamping pressure but ran out of time.

Not sure of the clamping pressure but on installation the diaphragm spring caused the pressure plate to distort so that the bolts had to be tightened to get it to slip over the dowels..... So im guessing theres plenty there!!!!

Pedal is slightly heavier but not really noticable all in all pretty happy. I had a brass clutch in another car once and it ended up wearing the flywheel out, good for the track but everyday driving it sucked!

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
