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

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
