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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
