well, i just had my extreme clutch fail after just over 6months, previous i had one in my car for 2years with no problems. but this current one just f**ked up!

the clutch was taken out and the clutch face is broken, extreme clutch was called and they said it was from clutch dumping! which is complete bs! as for the pass 6months i have only been daily driving the car with one mc day.

im never going to use there clutch again!

The Xtreme clutches used to be good a couple of years ago, but they've changed something and they now fail way to often. I've had mine fall apart and got the same line - because i was drag racing, which i was, but it fell apart on me a couple of weeks after at PI. So i got them to fix it up and we put it back in. It's now not fully disengaging properly, once your moving it's ok, but its a pain to get into gear when still.

It's a pitty because they are nice clutches to drive, and don't slip.

I had my xtreme XHD for a year now. and it have been all micky mouse for me.

i am a X - street race now only race at WSID

I dunno how you gud take off the mark but do u guys know to change gears

sounds like what they said to me!

your clutch fail because of excessive clutch dumping, which is complete and utter bullshit! the clutch has had the easies 9months! my previous extreme clutch which lastest for over 2years took 5times drift practices days where i was smashing the clutch very hard..

i go back to the workshop 2morrow and grab a pic of it to show you, basicl what happen was on the clutch face near one of the springs, about a 5-10cm strip of metal has snap off

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
