pretty open ended question there.

Mine fried just after 180rwkw.

R33 RB25

my stock clutch handled 400hp no worries.

however it did eventually blow. but only as a result of burnouts on the track.

launches and around town it was fine

it was a freak of nature

yeh i know its pretty open ended but im currently in the process of changing my clutch and i just wanted to know if i should go for a stocker, or upgrade to a heavy duty item as im sort of on a budget

thnx for the replys, keep em coming

atm my car is stock apart from an exhaust - not sure if i wanna chase some power out of the rb20 or not

If you arent gonna put more mods on the list, then just buy a stock item.

however, a heavy duty exedy clutch (rated at 240kw) is only around the low $300 mark..

So might as well buy that..

[def_jamz112]

are they really low 300's

i was looking at getting it from kudos, proper exedy

stock replacement was 330 delivered

and the heavy duty was 430 delivered

Depends how you drive. I have a R33 gtst 4 Door which was standard except exhaust and pod filter. My brand new standard clutch lasted 2 months and 2 drift practice sessions at Archerfield. I now run an Xtreme 1200kg pressure plate I got for free and a $174 4 Pluk Brass button (Exceedy I think) I got from Slacks Creek brake and clutch and its lasted 15 drift practice sessions + 6 months of normal street driving a still seems 100%

I think slide had it around 340 for heavy duty.

I remember paying around 350 mark 3 years ago

Still going strong.. Car has been tuned as well and holding up fine!!

hey sidd

sounds good but was that for a rb20 or 25

how much power u making??

whats all this business about

"get genuine exedy, with genuine pressure plate, bla bla bla.. the others dont last..."

[def_jamz112]

Apparently the Kudos kits with exedy pressure plate (pink thing) are rated to:

stock replacment ~140 rwkw

heavy duty ~ 180 rwkw

im thinking i might aswell go the slide HD kit condidering they are rated to 240 rwkw

but alot of people seem to think they dnt last as long because of the oem pressure plate

ur guys' thoughts on this would be appreciated

mine held all the way to 300awkw.. but.. when i pulled the engine out, realised that the rivets were the ones doing all the gripping... destroyed the flywheel lol
