So the original clutch is finally starting to give out on the car,

and i was quoted by the mechanic $1000 to put a new clutch in it.

I'm pretty clueless about clutches and he was talking about putting a ceramic clutch in it?

After i did some research apparently ceramic clutches are a pain for daily driving?

But anyway it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction

The cars a 95 r33.

Just put a standard clutch in if the car is standard, and going by the fact you are posting in the NA section I'm assuming the car is pretty basic

therefore as above, standard NA clutch or if you want a little more bite a standard turbo clucth

Im used to driving with a incredibly hard clutch right now, to the point where your leg hurts after awhile.

Will a stock clutch handle a bit of punishing? been dropped etc etc

Other then that i was looking at a cushion button clutch?

Cushion button will probably blow your gearbox.

if your car is std NA then definitely wont need anything special thats for sure...

this. NA skylines aren't really powerful and with mods they aren't going to be that much above stock power. certainly not high enough to need a heavy duty clutch unless you are the type to regularly dump the clutch to chirp the wheels (about all a NA skyline is capable of, LOL). in which case what you should buy is a push bike and hand your licence in. or buy a commodore so you give them a bad image instead of damaging the already poor image imports have

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
