Notice there is no clutch material left.........

not recomended to boost a car with a standard clutch:)

Exedy or similar heavy duty is the way to go!!

I think mine is going to look like that soon haha. Its not 100% atm. I reckon the owner in Jap Land abused it a bit. I'm about to put my first stage of mods on the car, so I don't think it will hold on too much longer. Gonna get one of the Excedy's in the near future. Hopefully it holds out till then :)

i killed my extreme 9 puck in 2 years, pieces of junk, wore away the pressure plate and flywheel and clutch plate was fine . replaced it with a NPC 3 puck single plate with billet flywheel ( got for free after small stuff up). heaps better than the extreme.

HD organic clutches are teh suck. I believe my clutch is the biggest, baddest single plate you can get and it gets mucho clutch drops aswell as putting along nicely in traffic. I must say it was a prick to drive with when I still had the RB20, but with the 3L torque it's a dream!

Interesting replies..

I bought my car with a single plate of some sort, had a very very heavy pedal. Used to spin off in second coming onto boost.

Installed an orc twin, expecting it to be a real pain to drive. Not at all. Pedal feel is light as practical, bite when new was very harsh but has gotten better with use.

Probably should take some pics of my xtreme 9-puck that was f****d, and the pressure plate which was possibly even more f****d :(
doing well to do that to a 9 puck mate!

would love some piccies :ermm:

I did the same - but that was after 80,000kms of pure abuse - any clutch will die if not treated right :(

i killed my extreme 9 puck in 2 years, pieces of junk, wore away the pressure plate and flywheel and clutch plate was fine .

Either you drive harder than I do, or you had a dodgy one Eric :) wow! 2 years only!

Standard clutch mate.

Think he was talking about the Xtreme 9puck :)

I never actually got to see the condition of mine when it came out, but i had to get it towed to the shop to get it done. When i tried to get the clutch to enagage black smoke came pouring out the back and it smelt somewhat like burning flesh.

I replaced the flywheel while i was at it:P

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
