have you driven a 4puck clutch before? with 400hp the organic might be better for stop/go daily driving

nope never i just turn 19 mate this is my first car ita was project car my friend never got done with so now i own it need to finish the upgrde so the car can run good like it supose 2

An old thread abotu clutches for high horsepower seemed to point to the Nismo twin plate being the go - OR something custom made from NPC.

Are you really making 700hp?

There are significant downsides to choosing a non-sprung centre - they are that driving will suck and your clutch or tyres will wear out very quickly.

for my build the nismo is a bit to much on the island we dont have allot we can do with the car thats why i prefer a npc and so

and i mailed doug responded i schould get a 5 puk sprong 10 inch carbotic button kit

755$

thnxz for the help mates no act or spec clutch for mi

Hey guys... Just wondering what my best option is for a clutch. I am just about to do the manual conversion on my R34 with all R33 bits. The kit is coming with a worn 5 puk extreme clutch so I need a new one before i convert my car. The engine is pretty much stock running 165kw atw but I plan to get a Nistune board installed and tuned for a round 200kw atw in the next few months. So yeah can anyone give me some recommendations? It's kind of a daily driver but i walk to work most days so it's mainly used for fanging around having fun on the weekends.

After doing a bit of research today I think i'm gonna going with an Exedy Button clutch. Anyone know of anything similar but cheaper?

If that's your power goals the jut get one of the NPC organic or cushioned button, better pedal feel than the Excedy one, mine failed so I am biased lol....

And although it's irrelevant to your needs, I drove with my clutch today and it's the best feeling clutch I've ever had or driven :) JB clutches all the way

I've used 2x Exedy clutches before, IMHO the pressure plate is so FARKING heavy, you end up spending money on a larger Nismo slave & Nismo strength pivot ball... get an 10" NPC for the same price.

I'm using a NPC 10" Carbonetic clutch and it's the sht.. a tad more easier to drive than the Exedy Sports Cover (silver plate not that homo modified pink shit)

NPC:

- cheaper

- holds more power (yet to test it on my stock boat)

- bigger clutch (I'm guessing they use a patrol OR 300ZX plate, I'm guessing ok?)

- MUCH lighter pedal feel due to larger disk and plate

Exedy:

- cost more

- holds less power (apparently)

- standard size clutch

- pedal is so heavy, you'll end up buying a larger slave because your left foot is broken (I did that with my old car)

If you must get Exedy, what ever you do, get their Sports range, it's the silver pressure plate, don't get their heavy duty crap.. it's just an OEM pressure plate, modded and sprayed some homo pink colour.

Funny you say that as my Excedy cushion button was like stock pedal feel, but mates NPC cushioned button that looks so close to the same has a heavy (springy) pedal.... My big clutch is lighter than his!

remember Mat, you haz a pull type clutch :)

Yeah but i am directly comparing 34 clutches in the post above.... All in GTT's

Just noticed he is using a 33 box...

Cool thanks guys... A mate ended up giving me a Clutch Industries RPM Heavy duty clutch, so I am gonna run that for now to get things going... In the mean time i'll weigh up my options Gay Pink vs NPC.

watch out on those RPM pressure plates, I removed one from the car I just bought.. clutch plate was in good condition, but slipped like a mofo.. I blame RPM pressure plate

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
