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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
