Rs4 - S Clutch

[sturb25]

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.

Nismo super coppermix twinplate on my 260rs, smooth as silk.

Exedy Hyper Single in my car: not recommended for a daily driver.

About to get rid of the cushion button for an NPC supplied organic single (exedy internals) via ERD.

wish I had a clutch.

[sturb25]

Want a clutch that is driveable and is also suitable for towing, ie not twin plate. preferably under $800 and im a daily driver.

I have a rebuilt Race Clutch (Jim Berry) single to suit 300rwkw

Approx $850 included flywheel machining and a few bolts etc

[wolverine]

Call NPC or pm Dan @ elite racing developments. It should meet your needs on price and drivability.

ps. I have a Jim Berry organic single in the R33 which is a good thing.

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.

[pipster11]

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

[lilcrash]

im running an exedy heavy duty, not recomended as it isnt strong enough to hold the enigne let alone tow anything.

[RubyRS4]

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.

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?

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

[lachlanw]

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.
