Interesting development!

Carlo, I have decided to go for an ATS carbon twin-plate, so unfortunately your Exedy clutch will not get a run this time, but I think it would be great for all of us if we could address the issues raised by Risking and Dazmo... In addition to the above two comments, I also heard of instances of the clutch shearing the flywheel bolts (below pic)...

As you can imagine, cars on this website (and in this section specifically) make pretty high power and torque numbers, so it would be great if I could put Exedy back on our lists for the next clutch that we all will inevitably have to buy...

I was definitely drawn (and also at the same time.... apprehensive) about the flywheel design. It looks extremely light... Possibly TOO light? Are you able to give us some weight specs of the clutch (total), clutch discs and flywheel?

Cheers,

Andrew.

Nothing doing :D

Car is sitting very stationary in a corner of John's workshop until my clutch comes... I've been told "about a week".

Sorry Daz, but I couldn't pull out of the purchase. Once they have your money, there ain't no getting it back :(

we put a exidy twin in the targa car for the v8 supercar support race, i think it was a carbon one by the price (dad just got it fitted and didn't tell me much about it). But dad kept over heating it on the start line, seems it dosn't like being revd for very long on the line. Which left him with clutch slip for 1/2 a lap (he backed off till it gripped again) Never had that problem with the sports ceramic that we run in targa.

After chopping and changing about eleventy billion times, I'm currently waiting on a Nismo Coppermix Twin Plate (Competition Spec)

Nothing wrong with that Andrew, I have a super coppermix twin plate and must say its the best clutch I've had in regards too how light it is on the leg and has quite a bit of give on taking off. It's not a ON/Off sort of clutch that jerks or stalls if not given heaps of revs..

Other clutches I have used are Nismo G-MAX twin plate, Exedy twin plate and OS twin plate.

Oh, and my car did see the track quite a bit, handling 350rwkws no problem....

Exactly. Hence why its standard issue in the ZTUNE...

Hi Jack, and good choice Andrew. You realise your car is late model R32 and has pull type clutch, so you will need to convert everything over to push type? I guess who you bought this from advise on this? That silver R32 GTR here the silver one has one of these clutches, and nice to drive yet strong.

FYI car is on hoist looking at us, waiting, with The SLot Car sleeping underneath atm.

if he ordered the right nismo coppermix clutch (ie a late 32/33 pull one) then he wont need the converter stuff. they make a compatible clutch so you don't have to convert. :down:

ouch!

ahh well even if its the wrong one its easy enough to convert the box to push, and gives a better selection of aftermarket clutches too.

those os/giken style pull to push kits on the other hand sound like a silly idea

Hey all...

Yep, I know that I have a PULL gearbox.... I made sure that I ordered a PULL version, so it should bolt straight on :P

Clutch should be here soon, so hopefully the white whipper snipper will be moving under its own power again soon!

Hey Risking

Would be very interested to hear about what broke , in the Twin Plate Exedy Carbon-R Kit , As i mentioned to merli any info on this style of kit would be fantastic , Reason for asking i'm the Qld Sale's Rep for Exedy Australia , All an any feed back on the kit would be fantastic !

Cheers

Not to go off on a tangent too much from this build thread, but seeing you posted I shall post the crap your company sold to me, then didn’t want to know about it nor want to inspect it for a design fault.

This clutch, was installed by a clutch specialist, this clutch lasted not even 72hrs. I wanted a clutch to use in my car as my OS twin plate was getting rebuilt. The phone monkey at the time was adamant this would be up to the task…

To be honest as this was a couple of years ago, I’m not even phased if you reply.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
