Kasko - I got mine done at a 4wd specialist and they quoted $350, asked for $450 and I paid $350 after some arguing.

Stao. Will that little extension work for my turbo with boost drop issues?

Anyone wanna change my clutch so I can join this race :(

Got quoted $500 for the change

I got quoted the same amount (including flywheel machining) and Im on the Central Coast NSW....

that was from a brake and clutch place though...

so I'll do it myself I reckon... its just heavy, everything else is straight forward.

How much power are you running to want to choose from those expensive clutches?

Im running 290rwkw soon to have E85 and jump to about 320rwkw..

Im looking at running Exedy extra extra extra heavy duty clutch $738 abouts...

that clutch will just hold onto 330..

NPC 10' carbotic..about 750$ Simon-s14 uses on his drift car holds 360kw no worries..Few other people have said they are great too..nice soft pedal feel

allthough really if your going to race it you want the flywheel as well (it has a cooling panel to prolong clutch life) which is another 450$..but you could run without it..

thats what im getting anyway.. :thumbsup:

its actually rated alot higher than that, the extra extra HD holds 330, this will hold alot more...

Hamish is abusing it on his 325rwkw ProS setup, been using it a while too...

But I'll look into the NPC clutch too thanks...

Just a note. The excedy heavy duty can't hold 200kw. IN POOR CONDITION

So yeah. If it was new, it was bed in wrong or driven bad and ruined.

200kw is stock clutch territory.

Right now I am tuned to about 240rwkw.

In the future I may chase 260-270 on E85

So just need something that can handle up to 270.

so you could getaway with NSK-7056HHDB for $691

Power Holding Capability (At Flywheel): 499hp / 372kw

Oh ok, there's an extra extra on the extra extra...

I guess Hamish buys clutches like he buys his clothes...:laugh:

Are these street friendly clutches?

Button clutches are normally the ON or OFF type?

Buttons take a lot of effort to drive and maintain IMHO.

The HHHDB (3x heavy duty button) normally gets sticky in traffic and wont like to shift easy or come out of gear. If you know how to use it and stop it from doing that, they are OK.

I would rather have a HHHD which is the 3x hd without the button. It just makes it easier to manage and less stress getting around. It will be forgiving like a normal clutch, where as the buttons dont appreciate driver error. Your passengers will appreciate it even less lol

seems excessive though to spend $1200-2000 on a clutch for the sort of power were talking about here...

any suggestions for better clutches then that dont go over $1K

I use PBR made Clutch Industries RPM kits. They don't exceed the $400 mark too often and have not had one let me down yet.

I havent used one on a 500hp skyline though lol

Ive had exceedy brass button clutch it was ok for around 300rwkws. Other wise try extreme clutch. I had them in my 300zx and sil180, they are good.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
