My clutch is on its way out and i need a new one in the next couple of months so im wondering what you guys suggest. Im not going to be pushing anymore than 200kw at all 4's so i dont need anything real great.

Need a reasonable priced clutch with exact part numbers and the ruff price if anyone can help

Thanks

Stu

Probably not the best advice, but when I imported my 260RS it came with a horrible HKS triple plate clutch, that I absolutely hated. Mates called me a wuss and said I can't handle a real mans clutch. Until they ALL stalled it over and over. If stalling is your idea of a good time, then yeah, great clutch.

I got rid of the HKS and got a single plate Nismo Coppermix clutch. This clutch is the boomshanka of clutches. I can come to almost a complete standstill in 2nd and it don't stall. City traffic? Not a problem. Its light, its easy and behaves like a standard clutch. I'm pushing 300 killer wasps in my car, and the Nismo Coppermix doesn't miss a beat. A wee bit pricey (I picked up mine online for cheap) but either way, worth every dollar. Do some research on them, I'm sure others can vouch for their goodness. A really great all rounder.

I'm thinking of going for a Nismo Coppermix single as well - my clutch doesn't slip, but I'm sick of the constant shakes and on/off nature of a button clutch being used in a daily-driven car. Hopefully it'll be lighter to use, too.

you should speak to jim berry, i've heard that he is really enthusiastic but realistic

you tell him what you do with your car and what you are planning to do with it and he will come up with the best compromise

i've heard he also does a custom clutch using rb26 bits and pieces and you get a higher clamp load with stock ish plate that will hold good power and feels like stock

let me know how much yours ends up being, i think im in the same boat as you :P

I'm running a Nismo lightened flywheel, Nismo 1200kg pressure plate, and Nismo Coppermix clutch plate. Cost me $300 used and then another $200 or so for ACS to machine the flywheel and pressure plate and check it all over. Its great to use, even as a daily. I've never stalled the Stagea with it. And its holding 204awkw without any problems.

:rolleyes:

not to hijack this thread, but im looking for a clutch kit for my s2, and as our cars have r33 gtr running gear, just wanting to know if a r33 gtst push type clutch kit and flywheel will fit. or does it need to be a gtr kit?

r33 gtr or r34 gtt clutches (also late model r32 gtr's too)

they are a pull type

Gday hows things?

How are you going with the clutch, have you got any prices yet and if so how much roughley as mine is on the way out so i need to start saving :(

Also I am pretty sure we have found a way of locking up the hicas without removing the rack, very easy job. I will post up pics and explain more when done should be with in the month

cheers

to lock your hicas just put a washer on either end of the rack . need about 2 mm either side

BNT in chch nz quoted me 380+ for standard clutch and 660+ for heavy duty coushined button for my rs four s

for Xtreme brand

Yeah im good mate how are you, havent sourced anything clutch wise yet will let you know when i do! could last a couple of months yet. I dont wnat to replace it until it shits itself.

I thought u had a auto stagea?

Dont have to worry about the hicas, My reasearch in finding a lock bar came to a pretty abrupt end. Found a cusco one but they said its only for race purposes. Im going to rebuild my hicas as i know this dude at nissan dandenong and he can get all the parts to do so and its not that dear.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
