How much power (kw) can the stock clutch handle

i kno there is no magical figure and it will be different for everyone but a rough estimate is all im after

some knowlage from people with experience would be apreciated

cheers

my stock clutch handled 400hp no worries.

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

launches and around town it was fine

it was a freak of nature

Edited by r33cruiser

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 :rofl:

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

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%

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

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..."

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

LOL :D well at least it held

anyone here used the slide heavy duty kit for an R32

any thoughts or recomendations??

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
