Its an NPC 10" sprung button clutch, good for 300+rwkw, car is making 255rwkw atm

Clutch bites hard and the pedal is pretty soft. Takes a bit to get used to but once you do its an easy clutch to live with. Cost about $760 from memory. If your gonna get one think about getting there billet flywheel while your at it. easy to do it all in one go.

Round 1: lasted 1 week

I had one in my rb30/26 running 580hp and the preasure plate smashed after a week and destroyed my gear box. I was only running the cluch in no launches at all. It was a single plate 5puk from npc

Round 2: built stronger lasted 3weeks

From the last time it shit its self I sent it back and had it rebuilt to handle even more power. Funny thing is I'm running less power then last time. Now 450hp and the piece of shit clutch let go yet once again but this time it smashed the box clean off the block. I was changing from 2nd to 3rd. I should of learnt from the first time it let go. Now I will use what I know works. Hks or OS GIKEN or a orc or back to mal wood to get a custom built. So I don't have to pay labour to remove the gear box and pay for a new box and clutch because some price of shit clutch can't handle half of what it is built for. Buyers be warned. And customer service is f**ked when you send them back. They try anything to get out of it

I had a twin plate with flywheel from Direct. I welded it once but it was my fault. Handled 8k launches in an Autech Stagea with 500rwhp. Was a light switch clutch but you get that when running big power. Steve was excellent to deal with and Ive bought many clutches personally and refered him to mates on countless occasions. Theo Wollet ran his clutchs in the drag car. Speaks volumes.

he said he's making 455rwkw,

you'll hear horror stories from any brand.. I had a couple with Jim's.... no point getting into that...

with that power go a multi plate, with over 600rwhp in a GTR with literally 100's of 7-8k launchs and over 20000kms, and still going I can vouch for the OS Giken 3SC ( triple plate ) not the easiest to drive but you get used to it.thumbsup.gif

I'm having a NPC 10" ceramic button sprung clutch installed in my R33 GTR today (costs $1200 including flywheel). The GTR has around 380awkw. I was told that this clutch has proven to handle 600hp at the wheels so it should handle my power ok. I guess I will find out soon enough after running it in lol

I am having my OS Giken twin plate rebuilt - ready to swap back when the new NPC clutch gets tired.

Happy to report back in a month's time on the NPC ceramic button clutch.

Yea I am going twin plate but don't no which one to get npc or direct or Jim berry

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
