Anyone got clutch hookups? Shopping around for a replacement atm. The rougher the better

I know everyone says go to NPC or Nismo but I put an Exedy heavy duty in my car 5 years ago from here (http://www.icesrepairservices.com.au/products.php) and I've never looked back.

For $400 it has held 325kw at 20+ track and drag days.

I dunno if the price is still the same though.

He's got 99 problems but a clutch ain't one

I was going to like this post until I thought about it, because a clutch is, if anything, his one problem right now.

Current HHDBC has been in for a bit under 4 years, not too pleased it's slipping now. Will probably go NPC. What was the damage for yours Toby and Adam?

Mine was about $500-550 from memory; 10" carbotic - biggest clutch that will fit in our bellhousing. I believe they are derived from 350Z clutches. Rated to 300rwkw+

Can get any contact plate you like but I went with an organic cause they said it would stand up to my drag launches...they've been right so far. Also my thrust bearing is being pressed up against the plate (creates a whirring feel through the pedal) and I haven't been assed to adjust/fix it for 3 years now, but she's still going strong...guess that's testament to the bearing quality!

Mine was a NPC Heavy Duty Cushioned Button clutch

I also got a lightweight billet flywheel whilst I was at it.

Total was about $1.1K i think

I got an exedy heavy duty in mine this year, was $1500 though.

(oh and if you call it's cheaper so they don;t pay ebay/paypal fees)

    • 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 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
