Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows the max rwkw an exedy heavy duty clutch would hold?

I'm fairly sure mine's a heavy duty and it's holding 245rwkw fine but will be going to 275 or so soon

Cheers.

Usually said to be aorund the 250kw mark but there have many cases of people running at the 300kw and have had it keep up even I had the exedy OEM replacement which held 300kw for a while, so most likely it will prob hold at 275kw.

If you drive it normally, the clutch will hold. A good quality clutch has no problem holding power, its just when you try to do a massive fully hektik skid and you drop the clutch on a big rpm and expect it to hold... My old car was around 230rwkw and it had an exedy heavy duty in it. Never slipped once. I was even using the standard Nissan clutch cover. So light on the pedal, yet so much grab.

Cheers for the input. Seems i will be fine then as i don't go rippings skids at all or launching it trying to beat everything.

Car basically sees weekend street, touge and is due for light 1/4 drag and wakefield once/twice a year when it gets back on the road.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
