Which Clutch To Buy?

Hello every one!

I recently bought a skyline gts-t rb25, and I need to replace the clutch because it is slipping. I have been trying to research but cannot decide what would be best for my needs.

I will only be driving on the road, and not track, and the car is not highly modded. I understand a puck or ceramic button type would not be suitable for this.
Therefore I would not like something with an extreme clamp pressure? what is the stock clutches clamp pressure ? what is high ? what is low ? is this the only thing that effects stiffness of the pedal?

Is it worth getting a "heavy duty" clutch? or will this be too stiff or cause unnecessary wear and tear ?

what is meant by stage, 1, 2 ,3 and 4 clutches ?

what are the pros/cons between single and multiple plate clutches? are they equal in difficulty to install ?

Also finally, I would like to ask, if the clutch has been slipping, how likely it is the flywheel may be damaged and need replacing?? (I know you can get it machined, I just mean cracked or scorched or whatever.)

I whole heartedly thank anyone who can help me with advice, or perhaps link me to some already on the internet.

xoxo

Same clutch here. Glad to know yours is holding up fine at that level, hoping to nudge 350kw when I install my 30DET.

Same here. 4 years on NPC 10" single plate carbotic. 2 years on 300kw 25. 2 years on 340kw 25/30 and has done 6/7 drift days and thousands of street km.

Exedy Cushion Button :yes:

No

Mine failed after about 8 months with 250rwkw

NPC is much better. Never ever had a drama. Got it rebuilt when I put my new engine in but that was only to extend the life. Still looked great after 3 years

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
