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.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
