hey guys,

i think my clutch is already in need of being replaced.. i was drivng home on the freeway i slowly started to accelerate and the revs start to creep up :(

how much am i looking at for a replacement that will hold around 250rkw-300rkws and not be an ass for daily driving. Oh and im not rich :aroused:

Thanks

Brendan

Go talk to Ross at Autoclutch in Osborne Park. He's done a heap of single plates for SAUWA guys for a good price. I''ve taken mine drifting a few times and even after punching it in 2nd gear at 6000rpm a few times in a row there ain't a hint of slip or smell....

but is the twin or plate a better clutch? eg for riding it and doing hard launches?

steve

Price is a strong factor and yes a twin plate is better for launching but can be tricky for day to day driving.

I have used the exact same exedy in at least 3 of my GTR's , 1 GTS-T and 2 300zx's , all with no problem.

Micko has one in his GTR holding 400rwhp and has done some big launches.

Cheers

If Ken uses the same clutch's as Ross does, it's all good.

Mine takes an absolute BEATING, it loves compression locking 3rd/2nd gear, loves the 4000rpm dump launches, loves the chirping 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.......

it's a BITCH in traffic tho.

I got the 9puck the ceramic with a 2500lbs pressure plate..... the pedal feel has gotten considerably lighter since I got it about 20k's ago, but still grips like a monkey on 'roids...

$850 for a brand new Exedy cushioned button 9 puck ceramic, new exedy pressure plate and bearing , supplied and fitted.

Same as Ross uses but we use a new pressure plate.

Cheers

Ken

Exact clutch that is in my car paid a bit more than $850, wicked for daily driving and you can still launch pretty hard on it.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
