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

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
