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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
