Step 1 - decide on desired power outputs any said clutch would be expected to handle

Step 2 - consider use of vehicle (track/drag/street)

Step 3 - pm the clutch hookup guru of these forums.

Hint: anagram of Mazda.

Step 5: high rpm launches at next track day

it would probably help if you put up your power levels, and use of the car.

i've got a Jim Berry 'Montyzilla' in my 32 GTR and it handles 350+kw and is still soft on the pedal and has good progressive engagement (for car park speeds)

i spoke with Jim and from what he told me the STD flywheel is better than the lightened ones because it doesnt make engagement so snappy, has something to do with the weight and the rotational force?

for a street car you probably want a sprung centre clutch too, so you're not smashing through the gears so hard.

from my experiences i've had the extreme clutch kit, 6 puk with stronger pressure plate and lightened flywheel.

had it for around 2 years at 210kw and had it repadded, lasted about another year and 1 trackday and it was slipping. wasnt happy then i sent it to Jim Berry and he repadded it, changed the pressure plate fingers and i went to a STD flywheel and its the best its ever been. had it for just under a year and 1 track day use.

Pete you should give the NPC twin plate some consideration awesome clutches and good value straight off the shelf it will hold 400 is and can be talor made

Mark Jacobson runs one in his 1000hp drag gtr and in the event you need a rebuild later will be hundreds of dollars cheaper than a nismo

I don't mind spending money on quality parts especially when they have such a solid reputation as the nismo clutch does.

This! /thread

I have one, f**king fantastic, best clutch I've ever used and takes a whooooole lot of shit. Easy as piss to drive too

Is that 2k with the lightened flywheel? even so that's good value for a twin plate let alone anything nismo

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
