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.

I have done more than my fair share of that too haha. Have dropped third on the spot with shitty old 215's as well haha. Decided I should cut that out because I really do like my gearbox

haha 2nd and 3rd are being being too gentle I do 4th stationary limiter drops nismo twin and box still live on haha

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

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
