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

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
