I'm looking for a clutch for my r32 gtst with 240rwkw and I've been doing a little reading but I'm unsure which clutch to buy, the car currently has a cussion button clutch in it ATM but it seems to not disengage properley at hi rpm shifts, I'm looking at doing some track days and I like to smell rubber from time to time, also still has to be streetable! I'm on a budget of about $600 or so! Any ideas would be good

Might be able to up my budget now to $1000 I'm reading, which do ppl think is better, a JIM BERRY CLUTCH, NPC, DIRECT CLUTCHES, EXCEDY, or XTREAM?? and then what sort would be the best for around 500hp to 600hp?

I'm looking into the future to maybe a 25/30 or something along that line, at the fly I would b in the ball park of high 300's hp now so should be easy to get 500 to 600hp easy

plus I have a little more cash to play with to get something that will suit power mods cos as we all know that u always want more! I've only had the car 3 months and it feels slow! When I got it it had 190rwkw now it's got 240rwkw and I still want more, maybe even a stroker kit to 2.4 might be nice!

Putting in an RB25 would be much cheaper then stroking the RB20. Not to mention the better flowing heads and VCT

from what i just posted in a similer post

ok check this out i bought myself a H/D Cushion Button excedy clutch about 3 years ago for my drift cat

i go to minimum 9 events a year

so a ruff total of 27

pulled out motor/ tranny last week to do some work

i pulled out the clutch and measured the meat left on it

i emailed excedy and asked what was on them brand new

turns out i have %90 Left on there

so i blew a gear box did 27 drift days

a massive amount of clutch kicks and the good old single plate button has lived

Btw my specs are im running 320 rwkw's out of a rb25 with close to 600nm of torque

jimberry ftw. when the clutch in my GTR finally dies (stock ones are beastly :D) that's what i'll be putting in. if you plan to keep it for a while it just pays for itself because the cost of rebuilds are pretty negligble vs a totally new one.

thats a big call from someone who hasn't had one in their GTR, I had 2 and would never go back closedeyes.gif

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
