Well as the topic says, my clutch is screwed, I had a few too many big launches this weekend, and well.. its paid its price.

My question is, what sort of clutch should I get? I want somethingthat can handle a good 200rwkw, but is also quite light, and will be easy in the city, and not mind the occasional ride of the clutch, as im occasioanlly in peak hr traffic driving to work.

I dont want a full blown crazy 500hp clutch, just something that can take a bit of punch, and is good for everyday use.

Any suggestions?

I was about to post an identical question - it seems my recent upgrades (power fc, intercooler, afc-r 1 bar of boost etc etc all in the space of 3 weeks) has led to an increased rate of wear on my clutch :confused: and so now I'm in need of a new one. My needs / wants are similar to yours. I want something that is not going to be a bastard to drive yet still hook up when I need it to.

I'm presently getting bad slippage in every gear from 2500rpm upwards!

So, if anyone has got any suggestions, then I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Simon.

What meggala said..

Go the exedy diakan full faced heavy duty organic...

I've been using mine for over a year with well in excess of 200rwkw (now over 300rwkw) and she's holding up fine.

Got a mate who had one in his 200sx and with 220rwkw went to calder with slicks, and he destroyed his gearbox before the clutch would slip.

Drives like a dream and is nice and light.

if it works for me, it'll definitely work for you.

sounds like the exidy dakien organic is the ticket...

can anyone recommend stockists / fitters in the brisbane region? I'm also looking ot get this sorted ASAP because it's hampering with my ability to get the power fc porperly tuned. Keep getting clutch slippage on the dyno!

Thanks everyone for the prompt and informative feedback.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
