Just doing some research on what clutch I might need to get Ive been looking at the exedy range and reading the other posts I want a clutch that will handle 300kw and will be used for everyday driving and occasional drift or drag track days, I've come to a conclusion of two clutches the exedy sports organic clutch of exedy sports ceramic, it says the ceramic will take more but Ive read other people are wearing out the ceramic clutches very quickly with everyday driving what are your thoughts?

Honestly...........spend the extra $400 and get an exedy twin.

Mine hasnt missed a beat. And i KNOW that i don't have to treat it like glass, it loves the punishment.

If i went a single exedy, i would be counting down the days till it died :)

extra 400? if that were the case I would go one but there like 2000+ and these are 6-700

LoL then your getting ripped off.

I got mine fitted and supplied for 1650.

You get what you pay for, if u think a single clutch will cope with 300kw and the bashing it gets from that, without EVER failing (unless its a J/B) you will be sorely mistaken.

That does not include their single plate ''race only'' plates, but they wont sell one to you for a street car.

ORC twin plate, simple to drive, light pedal. Ours has lasted 5 seasons of abuse and still sedate enough to let mum drive to shops. They have a much nicer pedal take up than the exedy twins which are a bit harsh.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
