Upgrading Clutch On R33

[RSFOURDayz]

Yes well I dont expect it to last long... and that's kinda the plan, to kill the clutch lol.

[AngryRB]

looks like its time for me to upgrade my exedy HD clutch, ive decided on the NPC 330kw rated organic

I actually dont like the stock feel to these clutches, are there many options with how heavy the pedal is, eg. stock feel and heavy or very heavy etc..

What should i ask for ? i want some firm pressure in the pedal and it to bite when i pull the next gear ...

Maybe ask for a smaller pressure plate? I love how the pedal is soft as a stock clutch.. I even thought I installed it wrong when I first when to press the pedal.

This ^^

It's due to the larger spring diameter. More leverage = lighter pedal feel

[AngryRB]

so will that mean the power rating will come down then?

The NPC cushion button has a pretty heavy pedal too it...... My clutch is lighter than one!

Exedy HD is just an OEM cover, modified and sprayed some homosexual pink. The difference could be a many things, because the pressure plates are modified they could clamp differently. Also you may be using different plates.

Yes, smaller clutch, lower rating i.e. less clutch friction material to flywheel contact.

I can tell you, my carbonetic 10" feels like a stock pedal, but when you want to drive it, it bites hard, it bites so hard that the car thumps lol

Nah, it's Nissan, she'll be right (if Skyline NOT 200SX) lol

Do i need a lightened flywheel for 300kw's? is there a danger of the flywheel comming off? was just reading a thread about it..

nah stock flywheel is fine, just torque it down properly and loctite up the nuts.. however NPC did recommend me a Billet flywheel for extra, but I thought I would save that money for something else.

Nope, not needed... Use the correct torque settings... Pretty rare for one to come off, link?

FARK I meant bolts.. you know what I mean.. I'm tired brah, sht long day

Organic clutch = no need for billet flywheel.

Button clutch over 450whp = billet flywheel

Why billet flywheel?

tell us your build intentions and your driving habits first.

[AngryRB]

thanks fella's, great to have such a great wealth of knowledge at hand, will let you know how NPC organic goes, although its probably know fact round here

the ultimate test will be some 1/4mile attempts at willowbank with some 2nd gear burnouts and 4000rpm launches at willowbank, would like to see some high 12's hopefully with practice..

well 90% im very kind to the clutch and drive off boost, other 10% is a drag or a 2nd, 3rd gear hard pull to get past some slow traffic

[wolverine]

I have a JB on the R33 and the NPC on the Stagea both organic plate. Much of a muchness for daily drivers 250-300rwkw.

NPC (via Dan @ ERD in my case) is the way to go for the any future clutch requirements.

why u say billet flywheel ??
