Hey Steve, do you go hunting for clutch topic threads? :banana:

Ting, Madaz is right. NPC are good clutches and best do it right, do it once. I've had Exedy and Extreme clutches in the past, but I find I hear good things about NPC and Nismo.

I've seen Exedy and Extreme clutches die on the track, but my Nismo kit has gone the distance so far in a 204awkw 1650kg Stagea.

If you can afford new, get NPC.

If you can only afford second hand, find a Nismo HD kit from JIS or JMS, but get the flywheel machined ($90).

:)

I would personaly stay away from extreme, never hear good stuff about them and there centres like to shatter/crack and just about explode.

I've heard good stuff about npc. I personaly like the nismo coppermix. Comes with everything, thrust bearing, flywheel, and stickerz lol

I had an extreme clutch, it lasted about 45,000km on my ~180kw RB20. Now have an NPC ceramic clutch, but I havent driven the car yet. :domokun: I know push type is cheaper than pull, but I got $420 change from $1000. delivered. Got my Nismo flywheel machined at Australian Clutch for $39. I know the Nismo coppermix clutches are awesome, but Im not sure personally if I could justify the cost of one.

just got a reply back from NPC $635 delivered

search for my previous gb threads for a more in depth look at the clutch's

Whaaa? I got a quote for exactly the same clutch, $753.50 + $44.00 shipping. Wonder how that works :-S

^^ correct i have built up a group buy relationship with NPC when i get quotes i now get very good prices for your guys

i have been doing group buys for about 2 years now have done about 15 clutch's to different people one person has bought 2

Ah it makes sense now.

Nice work mate :)

If there's any way I can get in on that let me know :(

I'm not posting just to bag any one particular clutch but in general terms. There's a reason why copper mix clutches cost so much.

It's not a hard exercise to engineer and manufacture a cheap plate that'll bite your flywheel like a Detroit Locker but at what expense you may ask?

These cheaper alternatives are not very forgiving to other drive components......as strange as this may sound, a little bit of clutch slip (even from a new plate) is actually not a bad thing.

Would you spend $10K on a set of Alcons then run solid metal pads for everyday street use....your nice shiny rotors wouldn't last very long.....use an extra set of pads and save your investment.

Pads are an expendable item and as such clutch plates should be seen in the same way. Pads should be seen as the first point of contact in making something come to a halt and in a similar but opposite manner, clutches are the first point of contact in power distribution.

Start breaking drivelines by using cheap in/out style clutches (which are also a pig in traffic) and you'll end up spending a shitload more cash than a decent clutch would've cost in the first place.

I've seen GTR's with alot less power than I was making smash gearboxes, diffs, tailshafts (you name it) all in the name of finding a cheap clutch that'll hold 400kw....big deal. :)

+1 to what Pete said.

Have a read of this http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi...tch/clutch.html

With the Coppermix there is a single plate and a twin plate option, single plate are roughly $500 cheaper then a twin.

Cheapest shipping option would be by sea (6-9weeks) or the expensive EMS (4-7days) option.

At this stage im thinking $1700ish for the single plate option just cause the yen is pretty shit, but will last forever*.

*Disclaimer, if you put 1000hp behind this clutch it may give way.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
