Chasing a new clutch for my 34 which I will be converting to manual soon using 33 stuff, now how do people rate the xtreme clutches, either organic, HD or those sprung button centres?

I am aiming for around 230rwkw and will be taking it to the track every now and then and well streeting it 95% of the time. The guy at Xtremes told me either go organic which will be great street use, would hold 230rwkw no worries but taking it to the track and clutch kicks will obviously shorten its life span......or go a puck style, still ok for the street and bulletproof on the track.

Reason I am chasing one of these clutches is that I bought one for my rotor last year and I was going to return it and swap it for something to suit me. I priced an Exedy HD clutch and that was about $200 more than an extreme one but the guy said it might have a slightly higher clamping load

I have also heard there are extremely harsh on drive lines

So from peoples use of these.......Stay away from these or go buy one?

Thanks

Giulian

Hey Guilian,

I have been using an Xtreme Cushioned Button Clutch, with matching lightened flywheel for the past 3-4 years. I can't fault it - it's fine for street driving (only a little heavier than stock) and has held up my 250 rwkw without a problem. My wife also has no drama's driving with it, so I'd definitely recommend going with one.

i killed my xtreme 9 puck in 1 year. destroyed the pressure plate and flywheel but the pressure plate was ok. ended up putting in a NPC clutch which has been great but i think i would go the exedy clutch next. spend the extra 200 and be safe. my opinion only.

Im did this to an exedy cushioned button:

It held the power fine just rolling on etc, but I took it to the drags once, and with some heavy launches, I munched it. (340rwhp)

For that reason, I have gone an Exedy 5 puck Button this time. Fingers crossed it takes to launching and clutch kicks abit better :D

I've been told by a reputable workshop on the gold coast that exedy don't make clutches to the same standards that they used to and that you should seriously consider buying a Jim Berry clutch if you don't want disappointments down the road.

I've had an x-treme organic single plate in my car for almost a year now, it's had a lot of abuse and is starting to show signs of wear. My clutch now was only ever suppose to be a heavy duty replacement, not designed for the more than double the standard power that my car makes, it still holds up well. I'd reccomend them I guess, not 100% satisfied but that's just my poor selection of clutch (I.e. Wrong application)

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
