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?

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 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...

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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
