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.

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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
