Driver Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48734-nortie-clutch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

caminperth Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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....

gtrken Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 $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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48734-nortie-clutch/#findComment-978571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caminperth Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Well thats a better deal as Ross built up my pressure plate to 2500lbs. Scratch what I said - go see Ken @ Hyperdrive.

PHATR32 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 but is the twin or plate a better clutch? eg for riding it and doing hard launches? steve Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48734-nortie-clutch/#findComment-979086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrken Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 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.

PHATR32 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 tricky in what way? does it allow you to ride it? or is it just real heavy? steve Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48734-nortie-clutch/#findComment-979515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
taynewguy Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Few more hard launches with my standard clutch and you'll be seeing me too Ken. I'll just pop around as usual (or push it there.....either one).

ix9 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 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...

ix9 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 My old car had a previous woman owner, and when I bought it the clutch was shagged after 32kms from new! I still maintain that girls can't drive properly...dam clutch-riding-heel-wearing wannabes!
