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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
