Will be slipping because of your driving style before anything else I think. Button clutches are not for everyday driving. Pretty sure you wouldn't generate enough heat with normal driving and that will cause the ceramic material to wear quicker. They also hate being ridden.

the clutch was all installed professionally, machiined flywheel, new spigot bearing, new gearbox and clutch oil. i know they dont like gettin riddin so it cant be from that, could maybe be a little 'overkill' with the clutch? its the solid button kit maybe shoulda settled for the cushion? it cant be that bad driving it everyday can it?

Button clutches love to be driven hard thats what they're there for. Fast gear changes on track and good launches down the strip. Its when you start to drive them normally that you get more slip and more wear on them. Unless it is a drift car or a dedicated track whore I don't see the point in a button clutch. There are plenty of manufactureres that are making decent organic clutches now and you can always talk to Jim Berry and get yourself a nice single plate clutch from him. All the feel of a stock clutch but able to handle a lot more power..

Just my 2 cents

im glad i got myself the cushion instead of a full blown button one. The cushion was a hand full in the begining to get used to and not ride so much but theres just some road situations were you have to ride it a lil sometimes like parking and stuff. Pedal feel is just a tad harder than stock now, but at the beginning it was fairly heavy. I think full button is abit of overkill if its just a daily.

Whats the difference between the 5 and 3 puck ceramic clutch? and generally how many Kms could you expect to get out of one of these clutches. Im running the 3 puck ceramic in my R34GTT and its a daily driven car. Done over 20,000 kms on it so far and no problems i try my best not to slip it and generally try to abuse it and the clutch seems to love it.

sprung centre though??

difference between 5 puk and 3 puk is 2 puks.. 5 puk has more surface area to grip with... but the surface prssure is reduced.. more surface area and less pressure means it can handle more slip for day to day driving. with a 3 puck, the surface is less and the pressure is greater, so it will wear more than the 5 puk if slipped

Exedy cushion button ftw. I have one in my daily driver...was installed before I bought the car and I've done nearly 10,000km on it no problems (is a little squeaky sometimes). I tend to slip it a fair bit too, not on purpose, just because of bad traffic sometimes. If I've got pole position at the lights she gets a quick launch.

Keep in mind this could be oil on your flywheel as per a leaking rear main seal.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
