Which Clutch To Buy?

[Kawshun]

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

Check out the Nismo Coppermix range, should have one there that will do the job. Put the twin C Spec on mine and it is great and they can hold the power.

NPC here and love it to bits. Can hold 400kw apparently and it drives like a stock clutch. 293kw here with more boost to come and its holding up fine.

Love my NPC but I did have a problem with it wearing very unevenly and needed to have it repaired. Cannot say 100% whether it was clutch assy or flywheel problem, however.

[Kawshun]

Alright sweet, thanks guys. I'll just get a standard of one of them, should be fine.

I assume the flywheel is quite likely to be fine?

What ever you do, don't buy those rubbish clutches by competition because it's a competition to see which clutch dies first lol

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

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
