Had mine in for about 1000kms and love it. went to a track day last week and have a drag day at the end of the month. Do get chirps taking off sometimes if im at a complete stop, if i have a slight roll its nice and smooth taking off.

Clutch in, so far so good. Its acting like a twin plate at the moment, cant take off without spinning the wheels lol. The pedal is lighter somehow than the old excedy cushion button, which is awsome since the NPC carbotic is a much tougher clutch.

Only thing was the spigot bush that came with the NPC was 1mm thicker in ID so had to source another one.

You and your shimmed diff lol

Well 2 weeks of 360kw and my Excedy Cushion button shat itself :/ so I'll call NPC and see what they recommend for 400kw as that's my next stop lolz

was it the pink pressure plate Exedy or the silver plate? saying that the NPC one is crazy good, so good I feel sorry for my gearbox LOL

It was that long ago i cant remember.... It hasnt done many KM's but its been in there a while... i think it was pink, i know the plate was pink anyway....

For 400kw they will recommend a twin plate

Ghey! :(

For 400kw they will recommend a twin plate

I don't know why they would. Our NPC single plate 10" clutches are both holding 400-450rwkw happily for over a year now. Drag events, circuit racing. No problems.

We rate them up to 600whp before we suggest a twin plate is necessary

Yep, the pink ones are made here, they're pretty much just modified factory spec pressure plates as Jim Berry told me, he goes the Silver ones are from Japan and they're suppose to be more serious.

I've had the Silver plate before from a R32 GT-R with a 4-Puk Ceramic, did me well for over 1 years till I sold the car, wonder if it's still going strong with the 3rd owner.

Ah. I have that npc 10", but i swear the guy said it will hold up to 400kw and after that a twin plate is recommended. Maybe i miss heard.

It's possible that slight arse covering is being done there. Maybe they don't want to say they can do something and then have one guy prove them wrong.400wkw is getting close to where we've tested them up to so I'm guessing that would be why they would say that

This is what i want to hear! :yes:

I'm referring to the 5puk button variety btw. The organic we don't really push past 300rwkw

Yep just spoke to them about it, with modification he is confident it will hold the 400rwkw...... BUT it'll be a little pigish to drive daily :( anyone using one of these in a daily?

Hmmm thanks guys, will research all options but the guys at NPC seem to be the best in terms of knowledge etc so far :)

The button can be modified to hold 400kw so that should do!

I use mine every 3rd night? not too bad. I just drop it at around 1700rpm, I don't bother driving it smooth (clutch will last longer). Up the car park ramp at my gym is gold, there's a speed hump midway up. I usually just handbrake then chirp it over, people think I am retarded.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • 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.
