I might be up for a new clutch as mine is acting up a bit - shuddering and squealing like a b!tch - more than usual but not sure exactly what's up until I get the gearbox dropped.

I was wondering whether there is anyone with a Xtreme 7 or 9 puck ceramic clutch in their car that I could take for a drive just to see exactly what it drives like? I live in Heathridge (NOR). I've heard some good things about them but I'd like to speak to someone who has upwards of 300+ rwhp (as does my r33).

I have a 9-puck & over 400 with no problems, still drives fine :)

That's what I like to hear :) How long have you had it installed?

Also - how much are the clutches for R33? and how much also to do get installed? Prices will differ depending on where it was done I assume.

Had it for about a year or maybe less now. 350rwhp when I got it, 385 for most of it & over 400 at the moment. Cost me around the $900 mark installed *I think*

The 9 puck with a 'sprung centre' friction plate and the stock pressure plate is very good. People frequently over-do the pressure plate. The clamping force on the stock R33 unit is quite sufficient for a street driven car. The friction plate does all the work it just needs 'enough' pressure to make it work.

The same 9 puck friction plate is in a friends 300+rwkw GTR and has covered 30,000kms of aggressive driving.

My old R33 I setup with the 9 puck friction plate and factory stock pressure plate, it feels exactly like stock. It was a low 13/high 12 car and at one stage had a 100+rwhp extra shot of nitrous before selling the kit off to 2rismo over east. So that was plenty of torque and power with no slip. Go extra clamping pressure for more aggressive sustained high rpm driving (like circuit or drift), the trade off is pedal effort and wear on the clutch components.

Bung a light weight chromemolly flywheel in while your at it.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
