For the price you can get better.

As already mentioned in this thread.

A bloke I know also had his ceramic Extreme weld/stick to the flywheel. :P

He was told it was because he was driving it hard and then turning the car off soon after which was a load of crap.

He would launch it. Clutch would stick and he would be left decelerating either between first trying to grab second or second trying to grab third. Not to healthy for the gearbox/motor. :S

Not all the time but enough of the time to be concerned.

Grab a tried and proven genuine exedy. There's also been good reports with those NPC clutches.

I really don't like the Extreme for the cost of their clutches alone. :S

I want to get a fairly decent clutch that isn't too hard for driveability but that can still take a hammering at about 200-220kw.

Money aside, Is a twin plate a good idea for me (they're softer arn't they?) or reckon I can get away with a single?

Ok, if u think it's a good idea. But is it gonna be heavy as? Is my left leg gonna become twice the size of my right? Well I do push that accelerator pretty hard so I might be alright.

By the way sled, thanks for trying to sort out the hoodie sutuation. Ur a champ! If u need anything don't hesitate to ask!

if you had approx 100kw more I'd say go for a twin plate but at 220kw you're around the same power as Steve (Madaz) so go with his ceramic group buy thingy.

Pete even 100KW more than im making and its still good for its rated to 350RWkw man

it may take a week for your leg to get used to it i drove one in a mates GTR for an evening and was used to it in 10-15 mins but ive been driving a lot longer and are on my 2nd HD clutch granted it is only 850kg pressure plate

yeah ill try and do the leg work tomorrow

ill add the aforementioned clutch in post #2 ill ask for the next clutch up that's the $900+ one for the GTR and double check twin plate prices and rebuild prices and see minimum quantities

i am taking Jema to the Show tomorrow also so i have to be diligent with my time

mine was slipping bad and now cant even get a gear.... i might need one that can hold a bit more grunt tho than 300-350kw

go post in the GB thread i didnt bother getting a price for his 10' clutch but can if your interested the 10' one is this

>>HERE<<>>$1023<<

incase anyone cares the car is in at extreme now, for a little bit more than the group buy price i got a 6 puk extra heavy duty button, chromeoly flywheel and replacement of the spiggot bearings/bush blah blah for around that price, if you want extra info about who installn it or whatever then pm, be happy to help

yeah for there $690 Xtreme clutch i would rather one of NPC's i've had 2 Xtreme clutches and there not that extreme i know a lot of disappointed customers too a lot are happy a lot disappointed that is all i'm saying

i can vouch for the clutches that madaz arranged as im the bloke that fitted it into oz_pommy r 33 his car has 250 kw at the rear wheels and this clutch grips like a turd on a hairy arse . its very drivable a little heavier on the pedal than standed but great value for money and does the job .

if you want too blow for bucks on a "brand name " just for bragging rights go right ahead if ya want too save some bucks and have something that works great then have a word to madaz.

cheers mid life crisis

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
