Clutch Change

[Francisr34lover]

hello everyone i was wondering as to what clutch i should put in my r33 gtr. i have recently bought this car and its now due for a major service as the clutch is on the way out i though now would be a good time to replace it.

i was looking at getting an exedy sports tuff clutch as i have heard

that they are good, keep in mind that my gtr is bone stock.

so would this be a good buy or is there something better on the market.

Please search. There is a lot of info on NPC clutches and nismo clutches. Take your pic and read up

[Francisr34lover]

ill try reading up on some nismo products thanks.

The $ rules, but if it is staying stock , why not a stock or re build, they seem pretty tough or any quality single plate.

If you are going to wind it up later , I find the Nismo Coppermix Twin C Spec great , take a lot of KWs and so easy to use, spend a bit more now and save some $s later

I've had one of these in my GT St for 11 years,no complaints from me. :-)

its only going to be stock for another month or there about, so i wanted something that can handle a bit of a power upgrade and still last a while.

Nismo copper mix Twin plate, standard or competition spec. Buy one and you won't regret it. NPC clutches are also good.

An Exedy Sports Tuff Clutch sounds shit and would get destroyed as soon as you start adding some power to your car.

Pay the money now for the right clutch as suggested or you'll be doing it more than once and that can be a costly procedure if you can't do them yourself.

[Humbla]

Depends what sort of power he wants.

[DAV33R]

twin plate or higher is always your best option!

[Humbla]

I disagree,what mods are you going to do,exhaust and maybe a couple of others the sports tuff will work well.

Can handle 300 kw at the rears and still be a comfy daily drive,butt if you want say 500 at the rears go for one of the

hyper clutches. :-)

If you're staying with stock power, and driving it normally, that clutch is fine. If you're going for more power or will be launching/clutch dumping it, it will be inadequate.

[breaker1845]

There is a good chance you'll probably clutch dump your gtr in the future and pour more money into the gtr for 300+kws so better to do the job properly the first time.

i was looking at getting around 300kw atw then stopping there so i need something that can take 300kw and a few track days.

[breaker1845]

Like I said before look into NPC clutches and the Nismo copper mix twin plate. Both are great and will last forever basically on 300kw with track days, providing you bed the clutch in properly.

If you search the forum you will see many people use these clutches and there are only positive reviews on their performance, feel and noise compared to many other clutches including stock.

Thanks ill have a look

I use the NPC 250mm organic single with 300kws and track days. But you don't launch at track days, so they're gentle on clutches. Its as easy to drive as the stock clutch. AFAIK the next step up from NPC is the carbotic, which will take more power and more punishment, but be a bit more difficult to drive. Since my GTR is no longer a daily, I would go for that now.

I think the Nismo coppermix twin recommendation is over the top for your use case, unless of course you have nothing better to do with the money.

[Francisr34lover]

Yea I was worried about daly drivability, as it's the only car I own. I will have a look at npc thanks.

[breaker1845]

NPC have good customer service so if you call them up they can help you out if you explain what you want exactly.

I agree the Nismo would probably be over the top but depends how deep your pockets are.

unfortunately my pockets aren't that deep atm.

Then npc is for you. Just give them a call. They will price you up
