oddly enough I have one of them in shed also O-;

it was fine with 400rwhp in a GTR but only lasted 5k kms and started slipping.. if its for ya mates GTR with around 450rwkw, doubt it would hold.

don't think they're worth rebiulding, unless someone like Jim rebuilds and sups up..I really should throw it out..

My mate had an exedy twin in his vl and was without doubt the heaviest pedal I have felt in a car, was garbage for the street.

Interesting! That is why i like the clutch style we have, it is as light as stock but gives you more of a pedal feel...

Pulled my NPC clutch out yesterday (single plate 10" sprung button)

Has been in the car for 3 and a bit years and has no hotspots or signs of damage etc. The material has just worn enough that I'd rather rebuild it while the box is out

Very happy with how it has held up. I slip it a bit daily driving the thing. Was expecting it to be a bit worse than it is

How much is it to get it rebuilt?

Installed ballistic blanket, a little agricultural as it's universal but didn't have to take the box out to do it . It has about 6 layers of nylon/ Kevlar material , hopefully it will never be tested . Took a fair bit of effort to cut a hole for Slave cylinder which is a good thing I guess

  • 2 weeks later...

$450 is the quote but not sure if that will go up or down when they finish it

thats about what i paid for my rebuilt one...only a few thousand kms on it now but I'm noticing its getting a lot easier to ride a little now that its bed in, I can drive it in traffic now without the occasional bunny hop or tyre squeal...really is a nice clutch for its price..

do you have their flywheel as well?...

was thinking of getting a nismo twin copper mix. but my mechanic is recommending a npc..says they're better. no idea wot sort of clutch is in the car, ive owned it for 5 years never had it out. probs done 200+ clutch drops from redline..(car makes bout 320kw) but eventually it died. just when I thought it was invincible ( may have dropped a 4 wheel burnout to warm the tires a willow bank resulting in the speedo reading about 30km/h higher then it should have by the end of the strip) have been told some clutches don't like getting dumped often? but never heard much bout npc? anyone had much experience abusing them?

Yeah I bought the flywheel when I pulled the box out for a rebuild. Seems to rev a bit nicer and havent really noticed any downfalls. Think the cooling channels in the middle do their job as well. I wish I'd taken photos of the clutch when I pulled it out, was quite impressed with how it had held up.

ended up being just under $500 all up with throwout bearing and express post

Best bet is to ring NPC and talk to them about your needs. They sell a standard button twin plate and a cushion button twin plate. One of them should suit your needs. But give them a call and chat to them, pretty helpful and will tell you exactly what they can do for you

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
