I just got a clutch from KB clutches in Sydney.

He was a really nice bloke that asked everything to do with the car and the power/rpm/use

Managed to pick something up for $410 including postage to ACT

Only time will tell if it holds up or not.

But I currently am pushing around 240-250rwkw

  • 2 weeks later...

I know this is an old thread but i did a quick search and didnt find what i was looking for, what is the Exedy cushioned Button 34GTT clutch rated too power wise? I think it was 330rwkw from memory, but if somebody has a better indication please let me know as i will probably let the guys know before they tune it ;)

I'm hoping my cushioned button holds up, should do for a while as it hasnt done a huge amount of work..... Just not sure of what its rated too?

Next clutch for mine will be the JB i think as i was told they are good to drive :D

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

Hmmmm mine definately shudders which is sent down my drive train to my diff. Subsequently, the backlash in the diff is sloppy as and all I hear is loud thuds if you sit on the clutch longer than a second. Clutch has done about 3-4000km's since new. Flywheel was machined by JB aswell. I thought it might be just a wearing in issue, but it would seem its not!

Also, how does yours take up/grip? I've found mine goes from OFF to ON in a VERY small range of movement...

That can't be right surely?

It's a single plate clutch. Can get the same thing from NPC with brand new parts instead of the JB second hand ones. NPC are only about $750-$800

Ive seen people quote like $1300 odd on here.

If it was 2k then I would not even consider him and just go straight for a nismo coppermix! or if you dont have the coin then get a NPC clutch.

The shuddering might be caused by the cracks in the second hand pressure plate

got mine for about $1000

4100 lbs of clamping force. Plenty of clamp for my application - if anything its WAYYYYY overkill considering its a street car.

Elite/Daniel, surely JB would have seen this? This has happened from day one, and he said that it would initially shudder but would come good after 1000km's.

They go for about $1200 depends on what you get. The shudder could be from contamination, oil and crap getting on the flywheel makes it glaze, hence shudder.

Yeh my clutch has a small friction point, 100kms of driving and you get used to it.

Just for reference, the pricing on the GTT was quite a lot more than a GTST as they are the pull time clutch etc..... My Exedy was around $1300 at trade price at the time i got it (They have probably come down a lot now) but the 34 clutches were quite expensive..... Just like EVERYTHING else on the damn things that is slightly different to the other models :glare:

If your poor ten obviously your going to go for the cheapest option

Well surprisingly the 33gtr has the same clutch as you *gasp*!

Npc sprung button clutch capable of supporting up to 650hp

$750.

Wow, i said "pull time" that sounds pretty dodgy :P

Ill definitely be looking at other options when it comes to the next clutch choice... SO FAR the cushioned button has been good, so hopefully it holds up.

To the OP, shop around as it seems there is plenty of options around ;)

Hey guys,

Sorry been so busy with work and getting my car sorted etc.

I ended up going the NPC Heavy duty Organic clutch, Rated to around 300rwkw this is plenty for what im going to use it for.

i got it all installed and parts (Inc Flywheel machining) And my coils changed while he was there, 4L of Redline lightweight shockproof for a grand total of $1360 (Inc clutch, labor, oils, maching of flywheel) Not bad if you ask me, im pretty happy with how i did, Now for fuel pump on the weekend, and then off to powertune on monday!

POWAHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks to everyone who dropped their 2 cents worth, it was worth alot more to me :D

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
