Hey guys,

Quick question as no clutch shop will give me a straight answer...

Im after a new clutch for my R34 GT-T, Currently modded with FMIC, BOV, Pod filter, full 3' exhaust, and my Shiney new eboost street :D.

Im looking to get it tuned as soon as i have the clutch installed with a nistune, First Question is Which clutch do i buy?? all shops ive been to say what is the torque of your car, Problem being, i dont know untill i get a tune, and i cant get a tune till i have a clutch!

2nd question, Before the tune, Are there any other supporting mods i should look into as to make the tune more economical/beneficial? ive heard Z32, Fuel pump, Coil packs. But not sure what can be overlooked and installed later, or what needs to be installed for the tune.

Any advice or opinions greatly appreciated, Cheers guys!

Softer than stock pedal, no shudder, holds massive power.

They must be total muppets to kill it in such a small amount of time.My thing; been in the car for almost 9 years, over 300 7000 RPM plus launches, holding 475 kw. No rebuild, no nothing. Feels the sa

I am running an Exedy cushioned button clutch, happy with the way it drives and feels....price was a bit of a kick in the teeth though.....

Cant remember what they are rated too, i think it was a tad over 300kw so it should be more than enough for your needs...

In regards to which clutch you should buy it is basically a question of do you have any future plans for more power or what is your future power goal and get a clutch to suit that. But with the setup listed something like a heavy duty exedy clutch for a few 100 will be more than enough. For the other mods youve listed coilpacks only need to be done if your ones are stuffed and z32 wouldnt really be needed until you probably do your turbo and start pushing more power where your stock afm is at its limits but the fuel pump would be worth replacing if you want to do it for piece of mind but again for that setup you listed not essential.

Wasnt looking to spend an arm and a leg, and as for future mods, im only aiming for ~250awkw for the time being,

Ive got 2k set aside for my clutch installed, and have been quoted for the nistune installed and tuned for $1100.

Was just going to use my local mechanic for the clutch install, just need to know which clutch to throw in it...

Ive had a look at the exedy clutch kits, as with the NPC Kits and was quoted for a heavy duty organic clutch kit. $753.50. My mechanic said he would rather work with exedy as he has contacts.

If i was to go exedy, which clutch kit do i go? Heavy duty? Button? Ceramic?

And as for the flywheel, ive heard with ceramic clutches its best to get a new flywheel to improve the life of the clutch, ive also heard that theres no need to do flywheel >.<

you should never put a lightweight flywheel in a street car... totally goes against anything streetable

it's come with the clutch. this one-> http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/clutch/sckit.html

so npc organic clutch will be better than this one for street use?

Cheers!

Npc also do a 10" organic clutch which is rated to 280 rwkw. Jap__star on here has one and pushing 300 rwkw. Very driveable and would be perfect for a street car.

We regularly put these in cars making 300rwkw without issues. They can hold a lot more torque than we give them credit for and being a pull type clutch, they will hold more torque than their push type counterpart.

would the carbotic 10" handle 325rwkw...?

We've tested them to 600rwhp, drag racing 9k GTR launches, track work for years. They will eventually wear out if abused or not driven correctly. It's usually the latter that gets most people on their first button clutch

which one is better for street use?

nismo clutch kit(the basic one with lightweight fly wheel that one) or npc organic clutch?

I would highly recommend the NPC Organic 10". Have fitted them to many cars. Get nothing but rave reviews from each person every time. Be careful over 400hp though, we don't often push them harder than that so how far they will go is still relatively unknown

I have had both a Organic NPC and a Bigmouth track NPC button.

The organic is better for every day use, I was pushing 450hp when my GTR was my daily and not an issue what so ever until of course wear took place. I was doing 6500-7000rpm launches getting my 1/4mile time down to a 12.385 at 111mph when I decided the clutch had enough it was slipping at the top end of my gears mainly second and 3rd.

I asked MANY MANY suggestions on which way to go after killing the organic. Dan(ERD), Noel(Fineline), Strik3r, Hyped6 and Strudel.

A majority suggested the Bigmouth track, and I am glad I listened to them. The clutch is a little adsertive and obviously doesn't like being ridden like a button clutch shouldn't be, but in traffic somewhat difficult to avoid. but 1 of the best things I had in my GTR. Not as piggy as some of the button clutches I have driven and VERY liveable.

My clutch is still holding out and I don't expect having to upgrade for a long long time, so It's my recomendation.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
