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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
