I reckon the Exedy will have a short lifespan as i think they are only rated to 330rwkw so i am pretty keen to see what all the NPC hype is about, they sure sound good and are HEAPS cheaper than what i paid for the damn Exedy!

Everything used in the NPC clutch is Exedy parts.

Doug modifies them to suit the application though. Nissan Patrol hub, 250mm plate, 350Z 250mm pressure plate etc

Oh... Well that is interesting! I should contact him and see what he says about mine and wether i should start thinking about it now or just let the other one go and see what happens....

If im looking at over 300 in the next few years does it seem worth me getting the 10" sprung carbotic over the 10" organic? Or would that be overkill for me? its a daily with 2-5 track and drag days a year. From what i have read the organic is rated to a bit over 300, just worried if i go for 330 next year that the clutch wont take it too well.

Got in touch with NPC

Hi Johnny,

I would recommend our 10 inch heavy duty carbotic button clutch kit.

$755 inc gst for the kit.

To give you some idea the clutch has 1700kg of clamp load & will hold 400rwkw.

I would be lying if I could tell you how long it will last. I would expect allot longer than sports organic.

Thanks,

Doug

yeah thats spot on.. same clutch i run. i dont daily my track car but i did do 300 kms of street driving in tasmania in it with no probs haha

That's bullshit he's lying.

They definitely hold 450rwkw for a long time, 2 step limiter launches, nitrous enriched 2nd gear multiple clutch kicks, power skids and seasons of track work.

I don't know why he would mislead you like that. I told Doug ages ago how f**king good they were

I have one of these. Street is no biggy but with the extreme cold weather in the morning it needs 5 minutes of nurse driving then it becomes fully streetable. Handles all wheel launches and anything else Ive thrown at it. Been in for 4000 km so its still early days.

Why? Shudder?

Yeah but I guess he is being slightly conservative.

After all if you give a dickhead an unbreakable object, my money is on the dickhead.

That is true.

As a matter of fact, a customer who is new to button clutches is more likely to kill it with kindness rather than abuse. Riding it too much is a killer.

I would ask Doug if he can make you a 6puk plate instead so its easier to drive and definitely go carbotic over ceramic. It's a little bitier but definitely handles the heat better

I don't really ride my clutches usually it's a on and off love affair with me :)

I'm just waiting on Doug to see if he can also get a gearbox front seal kit & stronger pivot bolt and it's on like Donkey Kong! If the clutch is too heavy, I will upgrade my slave to a Nismo item, like I've done in the past.

Doug builds clutches. Why not just go to Nissan for your seals and gasket?

The clutch pedal will most likely be lighter than your existing clutch. They are almost lighter than a standard HD. You won't need a pivot ball. Just lube it properly

Nissan spares are only open weekdays and unfortunately I work a boring desk job in the city. I might just go through Kudos and order it.

I've heard horror stories of stock pivots snapping with heavier clutches, on my previous R33 I went all anal and replaced the pivot, slave, seals etc.. lol

Tried searching on Amayama.com? Ive had a few good purchases from them..... Not always cheaper but a couple of items have been WAY cheaper and just as fast to get as Nissan were even from JP

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Just ordered it, now I need to clean the BBQ and buy a slab of beer to bribe a few mates to drop the box. I wish I still had access to a gearbox stand & hoist makes life so much easier :unsure:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
