Nissan Patrol Clutch

[benl1981]

Hi there,

I think the last owner fitted a Daikin nissan patrol clutch to my r33. It feels quite a bit heavier than a stock clutch.

It was fitted about 40k kms ago and is showing no signs of wear.

My question: Has anyone used this type of clutch making close to 250rwkw?

If so how long has it lasted or is it still going.

I know it depends a lot on driving style and I never slip the clutch so I'm hoping it will survive.

a patrol clutch is quite big are you sure its not just a heavy duty unit suited for the 33. do u have any pics?

i had one with 240.....it held up ok, i couldnt launch it and when i had been giving it a bit off hell once it had warmed up it slipped. when we took it out we found the clutch itself was in good cond. it just couldnt hold the power.

thanks Dan.

Doesn't sound promising.

What did you replace it with? and what did it cost? Has it still a reasonable feel and weight?

So you think you could maybe get the car tuned to 240rwkw (at say 1.2bar) then back off the boost a little (to about 1 bar) to hopefully run a safe 220rwkw without issues?

Thanks
