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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
