I am planning the next upgrades for my car and one thing on the list is a decent clutch thats strong enough to hold anywhere from 280-300rwkw and is bearable to drive daily and won't blow up my gearbox.

Car in question is a R34 GTT with a built bottom end, currently pushing 245rwkw but stage 2 will be happening early next year.

Please list down what clutch you have on your car if you're running anywhere in the 280-300rwkw power range.

Clutch type/brand/clamp pressure etc:

Lightened Flywheel: Yes/No (If Yes, Brand)

Driveability: 1 to 10 (1 being soft as stock, 10 being stiff hard as a rock)

Price:

Place of purchase:

my car will be daily driven with the occasional track/drift/motorkhana day (maybe 6-8 days a year)

so i dont want something that will give my left foot some new muscles or something thats got so much clamp force it'll blow my gearbox but it has to be strong enough to withstand up to 300rwkw when the pedal is dropped.

im running a R34 RB25DE gearbox which i believe has the same internals strength as a RB20DET gearbox.

Please don't advise to get a RB25DET gearbox as it is already on the to do list once my box blows.

Look forward your inputs.

Cheers

jim berry you'll find to be the most popular to drive daily. clamp power is capable of handling those power easily without almost any change in pedal force or friction points etc.

so you know, NO clutches can really withstand 7k+ rpm drops for very long, so i assume u just mean now and again to show off (which you shouldn't do on public roads FYI).

That you're going with an R33 box you'll be able to reuse whatever clutch you now purchase. I can offer a modified Exedy Sports Organic that will hold the power you require, I'll send you a PM with details.

hmmm, im not sure about that. once the clutch is engaged the shock will be the same regardless of the clamp force. so only thing i can think of is if it engages heaaaaps faster. but, never heard of that, and JB clutches are well known in high power applications, even with crappy gboxes, so... :S

Sorry but I disagree. The JB clutched car that I drove I wouldnt like in my own car. It was a light switch!

Nismo twin plate. Done, done, done.I have done 40 8000 RPM launches in 1 day and it has felt the same in the afternoon. The same clutch has been in the car for 6 years and holding over 400 RWKW.

um.....what?

Elvis; I know 3 people who bought JB clutches and later regretted it. If you're not fussed on budget get a Nismo twin plate, if thats too expensive get something like an Exedy single - for daily driving they're pretty decent. I think the sports organic was the one Dave has, it's easy to drive but i'm not sure on the power rating so you'd have to check that

Give KB Clutch Engineering a call. He made me a custom 5 puk carbotic button clutch. Ive got the SS2, big power, huge torque, lighter than my old "OE replacement" clutch was. $380. 380 for a f**king clutch to hold 300rwkw and 700nm torque! Not too sure how long these carbotic clutches last but he said it all comes down to the driver and how its used. My car is a daily, this clutch has been in there for almost a year now and no issues here. When this one gives up, I know where I will be getting my rebuild from.

Thanks for the info Steve! ive got a HD sports organic now and i will see how it goes once i up the power but its held my current power fine with daily driving and a few skid pan/khanas. i like the pedal feel on this so anymore stiff i wont enjoy it so much for daily, If my wallet permits i will def go with a nismo but it doesnt :(

SargeRX8, i will give KB a call and speak to them to see what they can recommend.

however i initially was gonna go with NPC but since KB is in Sydney, they will be a better option.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
