I'm not too sure for you, I'm getting the cushioned button as I still want some drivability for my daily, but need a lot more bite than an organic. Have driven an Extreme cushioned button and it was nice.

hey mate,

ive got an extreme HD cushion button and i can vouch its a definitely nice clutch to drive, clamp well... and definitely not too heavy either. As BAMR33 has said, they are quite bitey and need to be engaged without riding it. pretty much need to be on or off.

though i am not too sure if it will be able to hold 300rwkw. anyone who has tried and test want to shed some light on this.

btw BAMR33 how long have you had your clutch for, How many KMs? how much power are you running? i hope my clutch lasts for a while still.

cheers

My extreme XHD 9puk ceramic with the std flywheel went for ~40,000km's before I started noticing slip on hard gear changes. Slip to the point where you have to back off the throttle and then jump back on it for it to hook up. At 60,000km's and it slips like buggery.

And it was only making ~200rwkw but a fair bit of torque as that was around 4500rpm. :S

The XHD is stupidly heavy. I curse it every time I'm in traffic, not because of the ceramic grab but because of how heavy the bastard is.

cheers for that cubes,

i do hope my clutch lasts for a while though. its only 10,000kms old

the costs of a clutch and the associated labour is painful, definitely dont want to fork out that amount of money anytime soon.

Yeah, I've driven a couple of cushioned buttons now, one in a silvia and one in a 32, and loved both of them. So much more grab but nice to drive.

Not too fussed on how long it lasts, I've made my HD organic last 2 years and 27,000kms so far and its still going OK, just really doesn't have the bite that I want. Running around 170rwkw and lots of track drifting (clutching a lot, especially with a no-midrange RB20 :sleep:)

As long as it lasts similarly to this one, I'll be stoked.

C'mon people! Get in on that groupbuy! I want that extra $50 or so off! :O

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
