Whats the best clutch to suit an RB25DET with 280rwkw? I drive the car every day, so something that can be easy in traffic would be good..

Also, what are the pros/cons of installing a lightened flywheel? Anyone with similar mods?

Cheers.

I would go for an Xtreme Single Plate Motorsport Clutch Kit,

Capable of up to 320KW's & still has very Good Driveability.

Send me a PM if you're interested :sick:

A single plate would be fine, or just a heavy duty one as long as you didnt abuse it too much.

A lightened flywheel means the motor has less extra weight it has to move before the power gets to the wheels, so acceleration is better. Imagine wearing really have pants or shoes and trying to run, would be hard, so having really light shoes and slim pants makes it easier. Same concept

I'm running a GTR 3 puk Exedy with no issues. Drives really well, I would have to say smoother and easier than the old xtreme 9puk.

The Xtreme clutches have some crappy ceramic material that welds to the flywheel when driven hard.

hey got an hks twin, real nice to drive, my lightweight flywheel is mean, rapid take off, has a bit of a shudder though, revs drop back pretty fast when changing gears, so when doing quick gear changes pays to blip the gas peddle to prevent the shock on box, diff etc....

if u have a lightened flywheel dont u lose some torque aswell?

gives you more torque man, faster and easier you get the power from engine to wheels the more torque you have, for drifting people dont always use lightened flywheels because they want the heavier flywheel to keep the engine spinning (revs higher),

as for clutch, i just got my rb25 geatrbox and engine into my r32, drove it out yesterday, put a 5 puk button into it, pedal isnt to heavy at all, but atm its really on off, shutters if you have it half way so i rev and dump, maybe when it wheres in it will be better,

Got an Exedy cushioned button in mine, drives great, is fairly cheap (compared to Twin plates) and holds the power no worries. Highly recommend them, just got one for my mates XR6 Turbo and 180sx.

What kind of budget you on? If money aint a problem, go a single plate carbon, great clutches.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
