Hey peeps,

My standard RB25 clutch is completely fried, i mean it slips in every gear :D

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 :D

Forgot to add, i'll be installing the clutch myself with some help from my brother :)

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.

coventrys are the agent for either exedy or extreme clutch's

i run a exedy 5 puck in my gtr and it is fine

or if you want the best get a jim berry clutch from over east

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! :P

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 :P

Alternatively if your not comfortable installing, labour is around $450 for machined flywheel, install and genuine gearbox oil :nyaanyaa:

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.

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

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?

u can get it for around $500 or less if u get it off nissansilvia.com, or even a trader off here will have a deal that is cheaper than what u have been quoted b4. off the top of my head for the same clutch u mentioned it was about $496 + $20 postage off ns.com

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
