Hey all,

I was just wondering who had this specific clutch? Its being sold by Slide and was previously sold by C&B and its the 5-puck 'button' clutch which apparently handles up to 300rwkw.

I was just after some opinions and feedback of those who have or have used it; I want to know how it was for daily driving and how its held up at the track/drags. How is the pedal feel and how is it on take off, any shuddering? If so how much?

Sorry for the 21 question guys. :D I tried searching but apart from a few post that said that they were fitting them there wasn't much feedback about them at all.

Cheers,

Andy

I had mine installed on Friday, had it sent down from Sliding Performance.

Too early to tell you what its like, but the initial feel is nice and light pedal, grips very quickly and will take a bit to get used to. Shudder will be present, but its a trade-off which gives you a long-lasting clutch capable of transmitting high power.

I drove a fairly worn one (same clutch exactly) in a 200SX and it was really OK to drive. Didnt serge like a twin plate or anything. Might be different when they are new though.

Thanks for the feedback guys, please keep them coming. Trav33 can you please provide updates once you're clutch is run-in and you've been driving it a for a bit? :D

I'm currently deciding between this clutch and a rebuild of a Nismo Gmax Twin Plate clutch.

Ermm I have one.. But only done ~600km... ~500km was up and down the freeway to bed it n stuff.. ~90km to and from a drag day and ~10km of ~11 runs at a drag day.

Cant say much about it, since I havent driven it. But it's a lot better than the other one I had (Not sure what one, wasnt std for sure, might have been an organic one).

This one bites a lot better esp on the drags. Shudder has gone after the few kms and some launches.. Takes a bit to get used to, i stalled it a few times even at the drags :cool: .

Will let you know in a few months time when I drive the thing lol.

I'm sure a few other people can comment too..

I have one fitted to my r32.

it holds 240rwkw with no slip and it bites nice and hard. it goes drifting every month and dosent complain

it does shudder especially in reverse but having a 2-way dosen't help. you need to slip it a bit to get it off the line nicely. it is fine for day to day. but if i did it again i would buy the jim berry.

decent clutch for the price.

I have one in mine.... been in for around 15,000km ( I do on average 1000km per week)

Mine settled down to a normal h/d full face clutch in around two weeks. Although I have never had a standard clutch as the one that died was an exedy full face h/d which couldn't hold the power. Not sure what the comparison to a stock clutch is?

Currently running 262 rwkw.... will be 300rwkw by the end of next week so Il see how it goes then! Anthony (GLTOOY) is running 300rwkw + (up to 350) on the same clutch with no issues thus far - well none that he has menitoned anyways!

They last longer if you don't ride them at all... ie don't make it shudder (reverse always does in mine no matter what) ! My last one (S13 - 250rwkw) lasted around 2 years with a fair bit of abuse from an ex BF that couldn't quite drive it properly!

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!

      OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
