Hi guys

I have am EXEDY heavy duty Clutch NSK-7056HD in my r33 gtst - just the HD not a button or Cushion. Just wanted to know how much power I can run with out any slip . Also would adding a stronger pressure plate help hold more power and if so what change would I see in the clutch pedal and engagement . My power goal is 230rkw

The official rating for the Exedy NSK-7056HD is 320hp (~240kw) at the flywheel therefore with 230rwkw you'll be really testing it. You can run these with a higher clamp pressure plate to slightly raise this figure however the drive plate really isn't designed for it. In my opinion you would be better swapping to a more suitable kit, such as the R32 listed sports organic, Exedy NSK-7121SO, which is rated to 380hp (280kw).

I got 240rwkw running through one no worries. :thumbsup:

So far so good, dunno how long its going to last but i will cross that bridge when i get to it..

How long have you been running it at 240? Do you give the clutch a hard time?what's type of setup do you have?

+1

I'd go for one of these Jap made items also (and am on my 2nd one) with 230rwkw and more importantly 520Nm ! Stronger clamp rating and importantly stronger drive plate and springs.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
