Hi

I'v just recently purchased an r33 gtst S2 .the previous owner had installed a twin plate clutch to hold the 300rkw but now, after the RWC process, most the power-making mods had to be removed but the clutch remains. I'm sick of it and decided to ditch it for something a lot more drivable.

I have spoken to a clutch specialist who has suggested that I get a Cushion button clutch. I have looked around but can't find any info on Cushion Button clutch. Are they any good? How easy are they to handle? Any information or experience would be awesome.

Have a look in the drivetrain thread, plenty of information on them there.

I for one highly recommend it, got one in my car and its fine to drive, bites nice and hard but still has a little bit of play in it for parking/low speed.

dont know exactly what clutch is was but i drove an S15 with a brass button clutch and lightweight steel flywheel. engaged nicely, a bit harder than stock, but u can ride the clutch with no throttle without it stalling easy enough. however it was noisy when engaging softly

i was gonna reply to your thread but wasnt sure what you meant by your initial question of "friction clutch".

I've got an exedy cushion button and lightened flywheel and I think its great. its not that much heavier than the stocker and engages well. it is quite bity when breaking in and rattles on super low revs but thats normal. clunks abit on reverse but other than that its great. would suit your application well if your not going for big power.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
