Ok people, i have been looking round and getting prices for clutches for a while now and the daiken excedy clutch has been mentioned afew times. I am in need of your opinnion. Are they a decent clutch?? I aint putting out any hp figures to jump over the moon about. Just an r33 gtst, when the clutch goes in the boost will be upped to about 12. Its got a pod and an exhaust so thats it, well engine wise thats it. I am loking at front mount and other mods in the future but for now a clutch that has a firm peddle would be nice just like the one thats in there at the moment but it slips so cant keep it in. Any advice would be much appreciated and im on the gold coast also. So any places with good deals would be great

I got a daiken heavy duty organic patrol clutch installed a month ago, and it holds the power very well.

The clutch is not firm to me, it feels lighter than the stock - personally I'm happy with that, but I also got the flywheel lightened, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Good clutch, good price, not sure if the feedback from it will suit you... just my experience.

a daiken heavy duty and a daiken excedy are two different clutches, i had a daiken heavy duty b4, pretty good, got a daiken excedy now, feels alot better, only had it for 3weeks so far but feels good, a little more, the daiken heavy duty clutch is a standard heavy duty clutch, the daiken excedy is a sports heavy duty clutch, when u compare the two u see the difference, so if your buying a daiken heavy duty clutch, its not a performance, its just a strong standard clutch

I've been using a Daiken Exedy Sports Organic Clutch for around 6mths now.

Think it cost me like $650 installed or something like that. It has no problems holding back 200rwkw. Its the nicest clutch I have ever used (although only ever driven about 4 manuals hehe).

I'd have to double check the price (receipt is at home) but it was done at GavSport (St Marys) ... speak to Kevin and tell him Ben sent you (He did the SAU DBA4000 groupbuy about 5mths ago too).

Edit: I got a Spiggot Bush replaced at the same time too which i think was about $25.

ok thanx for the tip about the difference between heavy duty and excedy. I will definately opt for the excedy clutch and will just put up with the soft feel. I mean aslong as i can start having fun without the clutch spinning im happy. I can get it for 450 on its own. I am gonna fit it myself. Is flywheel lightening a good investment?? I mean i am gonna machine it as u do with a new clutch but what involved in lightening?? Is it just machined a heck of alot more than normal?>? And what are the pro's n cons??

thanx for the feedback so far peoples

Sorry to bring up an old thread,

Ben I need to replace my clutch and Ive heard a few good things about Gavsport. I spoke with Matt, and he said for an Exedy organic kit, it was around 1k. This included maching the flywheel etc etc, though it was abit more than expected. Did you get a kit or just the clutch? I think im already running an organic so perhaps I won't need the kit...?

I got just the clutch + spiggot bush. No work done to the flywheel or anything like but if you have the money get the flywheel done.

My point of contact there is Kevin ([email protected]). Just let him know your from SAU and he should take care of you.

/which reminds me, i need to get my Master Cylinder re-sleeved.

Thanks for the response :)

Ive shot Kev off an email so hopefully should get some feedback shortly.

How have you found the clutch? any problems? Have you found when say idling for 15 minutes, the clutch would slip until u started to run properly? I had that problem just after I had mine installed though it wore off after a while...I think it was just part of the shit job from the ppl that installed but never know...

Thanks again Ben

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
