Pay more for a npc but it's worth the money ten fold. Spoke to my exedy rep and either the pressure plate or clutch plate are made by them I cannot recall.

Would not recommend another clutch as it's by far the best "upgraded" mod that still drives like stock.

For me that's over heavy clutches, locked diffs and bullshit noises I love mine to pieces.

Knowing now I can limiter drop it hard I have ultimate faith in it.

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

Confirmation bias, I've installed more than I can count and all of them have been fantastic with zero issue.

Homo pink junk.

Needs to be at least Exedy Sports Organic, or Sports Ceramic (silver pressure plate, made in Japan)

Why? Mine held 370kw launches all day every day.

I got an exedy cushion button because they were 'the clutch to have' for city driving etc when you had a bit of power

I almost never did anything abusive to it and one day driving home from work it started slipping in 3rd.

NPC were great to deal with, spent 20mins on the phone helping me choose the right clutch for me and got it all sorted same day, had it in my hands 1 or 2 days later. The clutch has never slipped, the pedal is lighter and I'm making alot more power than before

So I guess I am just bias and noone should listen to me?

I've been there and done that. Im only bagging out one clutch as well btw. I know the hhhhdb clutchs or whatever they are handle some power, but i bet the pedal makes your leg alot sorer than my clutch

You sure it's not Sports Organic or Sports Ceramic? Because the pink pressure plate ones are a croc of shit. Exedy modify the oem pressure plates then spray them pink.

Only the sports range is a silver pressure plate that's made specifically for more clamp.

I doubt that pink rubbish is holding 370kW, I've cooked one with less than 240kW on my old R33.

I have Exedy Extra HD Cushioned Button, 290KW, plenty of hard launches and plenty of clutch kicks 20,000 kms later and it still feels fine. Still doesn't slip at all on me despite the abuse I've given it. I only went Exedy because I had a hard time getting a hold of the guys at NPC so I gave up.

I had an exedy HD organic on my s15 with 220rwkw. Held the power well but after 6 months had problems. After driving for half an hour, couldn't shift gears properly. Pulled it apart, clutch disc was almost new still, everything looked OK but pressure plate was farked. Pink one. Never again, now running NPC organic in the 33. Happy days.

Homo pink pressure plate

I had one of those cushion button in my gtst and it was the worst clutch I ever had, the friction point would change as the car warmed up, it felt like it never fully released cause the box felt really notchy and adjusting it didn't help

Got one in mine now. Exactly the symptoms and problems I had for the first 5 months. Better now though so probably means I am up for another clutch soon, just wait and see.

I also HAD the same problem - It went away after I pulled the gearbox off last time.

If I was to do it again I would go NPC

FWIW.. NPC actually uses Exedy parts :)

Exedy Pink = gay

Exedy Silver = good

NPC (Which is just Exedy) = bettererererer

You are right it was the silver pressure plate, and I should correct myself and say that I have installed numerous cushion buttons WITH the silver pressure plate.

I assume a lot of you guys got the one with the pink pressure plate? I haven't heard of any of the silver ones failing so far.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
