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

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
