syfon Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Hey peeps, My standard RB25 clutch is completely fried, i mean it slips in every gear Obviously i need a new clutch, so i was looking at an Exedy HD Clutch? Can i get some opinions on different types of clutches you have in your cars and a rough pricing guide. Also where to buy from. My RB is only lightly modded with a full exhaust, FMIC, pod, and boost - so 260-270rwhp is the max it makes. However i want a cluutch that can safely handle up to say 300-320rwhp. Cheers for any help Forgot to add, i'll be installing the clutch myself with some help from my brother Edited July 13, 2009 by syfon Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278946-need-a-new-clutch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I quite like the "Ace Clutch" (not sure who makes it) but it has a nice feel to it (IMO) and can handle some decent power. You can also happily park the car without needing to get a little right foot happy.

KEN-R34 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Slide have a great range of clutches: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cheapest-Clutch-Kits-Aus-t200652.html I got my Exedy 3 puk of them. . . Believe it or not its a comfortable drive and it slams in every gear. I love it. If your going to go for a clutch, go Exedy. You wont regret it, worth every dollar!

Dani Boi Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Dont use slide, use kudos motorsport... Exedy HD clutch is fine for your HP application and they are around $550 delivered. You'll have to machine your stock flywheel as well, unless you buy an exedy lightened flywheel which is what I should have done Alternatively if your not comfortable installing, labour is around $450 for machined flywheel, install and genuine gearbox oil Edited July 13, 2009 by Dani Boi Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278946-need-a-new-clutch/#findComment-4711956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
syfon Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I will most probably go through Clutch Brake Australia in Malaga and get an Exedy one from them, if they stock them lol.

Cheers for any help Forgot to add, i'll be installing the clutch myself with some help from my brother If you want it to last and handle 320rwhp i would strongly recommend not getting an exedy single hd clutch. Pay a bit more and get a full monty clutch from Jim Berry. I am just about to go pick mine up with it installed so i will let you know how it feels. From what ive heard it feels like stock but bites like a pit bull and will last forever.

syfon Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Personally i don't like the feel of organic clutches...my brother has one in his 180sx and its kinda weird to use but its kinda cool at the same time. I prefer being able to feel the friction point - feeling it bite Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278946-need-a-new-clutch/#findComment-4712235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

syfon Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I rang CBA Malaga and they quoted $600.00 + GST for an Exedy HD Cushion Button clutch.... I can prob get it about $50.00 cheaper from CBA Malaga through someone i know so say $550.00 + GST.... Is that a reasonable price?
