Howdy fellas, I'm looking for some advice and opinions on a clutch upgrade as I have been researching and it seems that most are either for lesser power or I cannot get any solid information for ie: price, best place to buy, etc. So basically the car is making 300rwkw and the clutch is slipping really bad(even now that it's in rwd), the car is also now rolling in gear with the clutch in.

Now the tricky decision that we could use some experienced advice with is that the turbo's on the car are capable of over 500kw/700ps/690hp and it's only the lack of internals keeping it at 300 for now. The internals are planned within the next year god willing but may get put off for another due to some other things coming up. From what I have been reading a twin plate seems to be a minimum requirement for the current power to take the abuse and there seems to be a few options here but it also seems that twins are on the limit of the planned upgrades after the clutch and a triple may be on the cards.

I'm kinda stumped though as I am pretty sure i read that Jim Berry can make single or twin-plate setups(can't remember which) to handle 500kw and vaguely remember a couple of other mentions about NPC and others. I also expect numerous other parts will break after fitting a new clutch from others' experiences here, i'm just hoping that the clutch will not be on that list for a long time even with the future power upgrades in the next year or two.

Thanks guys, that's quite reassuring Piggaz. Have apparently been quoted 2700 for a HKS twin jobby, don't even know if that's installation included. Where in Sydney or the Central Coast(located) would be a good place to start for good pricing and service/help etc?

if you're not going to be making silly numbers a NPC Clutch is fine, they use a larger pressure plate so you don't need to upgrade your pivot and/or your slave.

Doug from NPC tells me a 10" Carbotic clutch will hold 400 rwkWs without issue (that's what I'm using now on a stock powered R33 LOL)

My pedal feel is like a stock clutch, but however bites like a munted raver.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
