Hey guys, i recently bought an Exedy Sportstuff HD clutch kit for my R32 RB25DE thinking that it would last longer than the OEM that is almost worn out from the previous owner (clutch is from a RB20 GTS-T). When i gave the clutch to my mechanic to install, he said that jsut because it has the words 'heavy duty' doesn't mean it lasts longer than the OEM clutch, all it does is bite harder or increase grip strength. Needless to say i was :cheers: faced. So does the HD clutch really last the same as the normal clutch?

By the way jsut as an incentive for answers, Northern Brake and Clutch sells the clutches at warehouse prices (North Melbourne VIC though), but you gotta call them up and not fall for their EBay prices. Got my Exedy Sports Tuff HD clutch kit for $370 (they also gave me a free cap and the aligner tool or something).

If your old clutch wasn't slipping during it's regular life then the HD clutch will not last longer. If anything it might last a bit shorter, as you'll find yourself slipping it a bit more from take-off (depends on your driving style).

Essentially the mechanic was exactly right.
