Kudos in the F/S section does good exedy clutches, not the dodgy generic ones. A HD organic would be plenty for you if you've got a stocker and they have been known to hold quite a bit more. They still grab well but are very nice to drive around compared to a button clutch and 1000% better than an extreme.

Kudos

I'm not sure if the ones in the link are the Sports Tuff ones but sent the guy an email or give him a call and he will sort you out.

my extreme hd is still holding up very well. chucked it nearly 2 years ago, its lasted a bunch of track days, hill climbs, hills runs, dailying, and generally f**king about.

... i do however have an ats sitting outside that ill rebuild... eventually.

my old extreme clutch looked like that end of last year lol. people who went on the riverland show last might remember that my clutch started slipping something serious on the cruise and the car was only making 215rwkw. got it home and had it changed to find out that my clutch was absolutely gone. bought a el-cheapo thrash around one of habibay. its a F1 racing clutch and for $390 del with everything i was happy and it is still going making 241rwkw and done a 3 full on track days. So for me a F1 racing clutch of habibay was awesome as it did the job and is still going fine ;)

i can vouch for the clutches madaz gets we put one behind one of our cars 270 kw and it copped a flogging for the 2 yrs we had the car after that as far as i know that clutch is still in that car .

cheers dean

correct a true testament to a clutch builder :)

all silliness aside though i don't ride my clutches its on or off (not a button mind you its cushioned)

the worst thing for ceramic clutches is starting stopping slow riding traffic

I've just killed my ceramic extreme clutch.

bought it with kevlar buttons and noticed that it was worn down when i did my engine rebuild.

so i rebuilt the clutch at the same time with ceramic pads, but now after 1.5years it is stuffed. it hasnt started slipping yet, but the pedal after one track day is only biting literally mm's before i take my foot off the pedal completely, and at the start of the day it was biting in the middle of the pedal swing.

I've got it booked in for it to be removed and I'm sending it off to Jim Berry to get him to turn it into one of his "Full Monty" clutches.

It was alright when running 300rwkw but at 350rwkw it started to cause me a little bit of grief.

Hopefully Jim can put together a clutch that will last me.

the current one is an extreme HD 6 button clutch with the stronger pressure plate and chrome flywheel.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
