Clutch And Flywheel

[Damo_R34]

Not trying to hijack this thread, but if you floor it and the wheels start spinning in 2nd and 3rd, it means the clutch is spinning and it's on it's way out?!! My mate thought it was because he had "so much power"

well if your clutch is slipping, you shouldnt get increased wheelspin

Not directed at you Johnny, but it might be easier to understand if you referred to it as clutch slip not wheel spin.

oh okay damo, miss understanding ! well at first i thought shit i just span 2nd, then 3rd, thena minor spin in 4th! im awesome! then i was like, hmm, i actuall didnt spin the wheels and i wasnt going anywhere, then the smell of warm brakes(clutch) gave it away! im pretty much 99.99%its clutch! might have a sus at all brake and clutch i think they are just to confirm it! might look at them to install it but i still need to find a supplier for the chosen prefer exedy 6puk extra heavy duty cushion button clutch! thus meaning the clutch has an "either its on, or off point" so to speak!

i have almost the same mods as you mate, i put an extreme in mine but i myself dont really like it much, its not all that meaty and sometimes slips or bogs down if you try some 'harder' styles of driving with it... but i was kinda expecting that for the price.. i couldnt afford anything better at the time! its not too bad though!

lol i remember when my clutch went, i got awesome fuel economy for a while there, i could barely rev it from 3rd-5th gear without is slipping!! made my car seem like a rocket ship once i got a new clutch!!

steve, ill be keen on the 2nd group buy mate.

[Damo_R34]

R34 ftw, it tells you on the dash when the clutch is slipping

[craig R33]

you wont be seeing that light for a while damo

just joking champ, your an easy target lol

[Race__24]

Kudos Motorsport in the traders section will do you a good price, i paid just over 1k for a genuine exedy unit and flywheel

[Sambo33]

my hd clutch has recently started slipping badly, ive got a brass button clutch going in on the 15th, i cant wait!

[craig R33]

mine started slipping @ 215 rwkw,

but now @ 230-40 rwkw, i get no slippage......

exept when i try and launch, slips like a mofo!

its only a standard item too, its held up pretty well imo, specially

with my love of 2nd and 3rd gear and hatred of traction lol

I run an Exedy GTR 4puk solid button. - NSK-7121SC

Picked it up for a fairly decent price.

Smooth to drive with and not to heavy on the leg. No issues grabbing fourth hard and having the rear chirp or twitch around a little.

I ran a Extreme 9puk prior. Heavier on the leg, would tend to heat up really easily and then slip with only 200rwkw and it shuddered like a bastard.

The Exedy 4puk Handles 300rwkw without a problem. But whats important is the torque it handles. 200rwkw at 3500rpm and 256rwkw at 4000rpm without problems.

Count me in for a clutch if you get the group buy going again!

mine was the opposite lol,

200kw and no dramas, but then 250kw and slips anytime it hits full boost in any gear

it work fine off boost, but no fun

[craig R33]

lol, i know where your comin from mate...

sometimes when i clutch 2nd it slips bad, but other times its fine

oh well, hust have to see if steve organises another group buy, if not, ill start looking round myself.

[Madaz]

ye ill organise one i would like to get another myself as i sold mine tonight for my exhaust

[DSTROY]

If ya do Steve, could you get me a price on a twin plate, as i will need to upgrade in the future

[Madaz]

twin plate is 2k outright and i think from memory $400 to rebuild

[SLED]

If ya do Steve, could you get me a price on a twin plate, as i will need to upgrade in the future

I got a Nismo Twin Plate Coppermix in mine from Luke ENR34.......softer pedal than the original clutch, but heaps of bite

Speak to him about prices though.........constant change due to the Aussie $

[Jonnyboy89]

JUST rang extreme up,

they are offering a

Extreme 6-puk extra heavy-duty button

Lightweight billet flywheel

$ 1050 + labour

Total

$ 1300

Called: David

8300 5000

Warranty: 12months, 20000kms

what are your thoughts, i hear good and bad stories about extreme, and to go to exedy!???????

[Damo_R34]

probably wont need an extra heavy duty until 250kw at the wheels id think johnny, and id go 4puk, bit easier to drive and will save you a bit of cash for other mods, or for a flywheel.

[Oosh]

My R32 is only running ~150RWKW, when my clutch died a little while I had it replaced with one for a GQ Patrol, IIRC it only cost ~$400 installed.
