Just got my NPC Organic 10" installed and the pedal feels like an N15 pulsar's - light as. Still wearing it in but so far it feels really grippy and easy to use. A lot better than the Exedy that came out, which was slipping at 250rwkw and felt like doing a 40kg left leg press.

My NPC Organic 10" is a rebadged Exedy unit (or vice versa), even the part numbers match. So my assumption is that a new Exedy would be just as good as a new NPC with these specs :)

nope, NPC uses Exedy parts - however their clutches are modified with different friction material and their pressure plates are modified in house.

A normal Sports Organic or Ceramic (silver pressure plate) clamps less than a NPC and the pedal effort required to disengage the clutch is heaps more.

Doug from NPC (I believe through rumours) used to work at Exedy and took his knowledge to NPC.

Good clutch worked well but doesnt last too long under heavy abuse compared to my previous exedy HHHDB but trade off is its easy on the box lasted 11 drift events roughly 1 year HHHDB lasted 2.5years and still was working when removed going to move up to the twin plate super coppermix competition now.

Same, mine has had over 80+ rwd launches

1 Very very bad launch at the drags which was rode mistakenly.
( had to let it cool down after that )

Many many track days, 2 1000 meter runway events

going on 2 years now i think from memory

My last 3 clutches before that where both Exedy Organic's HD

1 did ok...but that was around 300 hp.

1 fried it self after a couple of months

The other literally snapped the pressure plate.

My mate also same clutch, broke 2 of them, 1 was the same Pressure plate snap.

Exedy where awful when it came to asking wtf happened when it was sent back.

Got " you change gears to fast " ......really....

Never buying exedy again.

Yeah i guess difference is in my use its cinstntly clutch kick 3rd 4th gear consecutively as appose to drag doing 1 launch then it has time recover and cooldown or circuit driving its proper shifting. But like i said definately good clutch in terms of what it can take for such a low camping force and does save boxes.

The only exedy that is good is the hhhdb clutch disc is identical to the npc with only diff having a massive 1500n clamping load pressure plate lol but rest of the mild exedy clutches dont take much abuse.

    • 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"
