Hd Clutch For 300rwkw

Recommended Posts

My excedy 9 puck cushioned clutch is dead. It lasted about 12 months. 8 of those months was with a mild 260rwhp the rest was 390rwhp. My car is a daily driver and i travel in a fair bit of peak hour traffic on the weekdays which is not what hd clutch's are designed for. I made it clear what the car would go through and the power i would like it to handle 300rwkw.

I dont want to spend over a grand for a clutch but i want it to last more then a shitty 12 months. Is anyone on similar power that has had there clutch last similar conditions. I wouldnt say i am hard on the clutch either it has been treated fairly well.

Excedy hyper single. Pricey but wicked. Have had mine for 4 years and has copped all types of abuse and tons of city driving.

Also every man and his dog on this forum swear by Jim Berry (i've never used him but have his number on standby in case i ever need to).

according to nengun that excedy hyper single is rated to 400hp, i assume that is at engine too so that wouldnt last. What power you running?

Just spend more on a twin plate

saves you paying 500 labour again in 12 months

i believe monga on the forum had bad experience with a jim berry clutch

but everyone else seems to praise them

Shit never knew they were only rated at that i'll have to have a look for myself.

I had it installed prior to me decieding to power up and also due to failure of the stock clutch after i first upped my boost. Whoops.

Dont be too fooled by the power rating on a clutch as they are testing it at extremes and rating it to a safe limit for hard use... warrenty crap!

If your not doing high RPM launches or dropping the clutch on gear changes then i dont think you will need to over power the clutch... i am running over the reccomended limit on the stock clutch 300rwhp and never once had it slip and i have had that power for over 2 years now... and i am pretty hard on my car and launches... but if i took it on a track i bet it would heat up and be destroyed in one day.

Decide how your going to drive and then decide on clutch dont just look at power as most will hold the power once engaged..

I was in the same boat, thinking I had stock clutch and "wow omg it's lasting strangely long"... turns out there was a Nismo organic clutch and a Nismo chromolly flywheel in there.

Well i just had a 40 minute conversation with Jim Berry. I remember speaking to him a year ago about the same thing. It was even more torturous the second time. A man full of knowledge and useful answers to my questions but fark i basically had to beg him to get off the phone.

I am sold though

either full monty organic or carbotic. $1050

And yes to Nismogtt you are right on the money

    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
