hey guys am wondering if you can help me out i need a new clutch in my 33, i dont know which clutch would be best for my application and in my budget range.($600) i would prefer extreme (single plate) clutch because they are based in australia. NOw there is organic, ceramic, brass, carbon, what clamp load??? i hear that brass chew quicker through the flywheel. ive got 200rwkw but my goal is between 250-270 which will come sometime down the track. i love smoking rubber :( and kick clutch it every so often so i need something tough and reliable. its a weekend street car, now if you can tell me all your experiances with extreme clutches good and bad things

thanks heaps

I had a exedy cusion button in my last 33 and that would chirp 3rd to 4th, but it only lasted 12 months and it was gone.

But when you let off the clutch pedal you certenly knew about it...

When i first picked up the car i stalled it as soon as i tryed to drive off. lol

The Xtreme cushion button are great IMO.I had one for over a year and copped a serious hiding.There are two sets of rivets in the clutch plate compared to the one set in the Exedy item.

So for the money the Xtreme are a good option.$580 i think they are from Hi Octane.Clamp load is around the 900kg mark.

yeahh for $600 i dont have many options unfortunately exdy or xtreme they are made by the same people i think so same poo really. i could afford more but new house is on the way and i just cant spend much. i bought the car just to have a bit of fun on the weekends, then i started upgrading and now its a never ending cost lol but yeah its all good fun am enjoying it while am young

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
