I had an Exedy HD (Silver cover) fried it in about 10000km with 270rwkw for most of its short life. Now have 300+kw

DCS twin in the car now ceramic multi button, pedal is lighter than the exedy and took about 10 minutes to figure out how to drive it.

They do the same clutch with full face plates which should be even easier to drive.

Seems like a relavent topic to revive.

I have an Exedy Cushioned Button in my 25 box, the 25 puts out 255rwkw. I plan on going to the drags again but have always "launched" softly as I dont have a trailer or tow car. What are the chances the clutch will hold a few good launches and be able to get me home? The clutch is actually about 7 years old now, never had an issue with it, never slipped, and has seen two track days and a couple of drag events, no drift or burnouts. I really want to get the best out of my car and can definitely start by improving my shitty 60 foot times.

It really depends what condition it is in and how hard you launch it... You wont really get a useful answer unfortunately! All you can do is try it!

well its not like it is going to 'blow up' unless you go down the 1/4 with the clutch spinning up the whole way. so really all you risk is finishing the meat on your clutch-plate (if it is nearly worn out), or perhaps glazing it up a bit.

So as long as you get off the gas if the clutch starts spinning up you don't really risk damaging it/ making the car undrivable to get home.

Don't do a burnout though, if the clutch might not be completely up to a tough task then a burnout is not a good start.

At the drags my nismo clutch (rated for less than the power I was putting down :S) would hold fine but if I did a burnout it would slip on the run...

Without a burnout I could still launch hard tho at 3000-3500rpm with a decent bit of slip to keep the revs there until track speed matched my revs...

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
