New Clutch Qs?

[Madtrang]

Hey guys

my clutch on my r32 gts-t is on it's way out. Tonight started to slip in first at the top end.

So what I probably want to look at is getting a new clutch but I want something a bit more bitey than stock and not as bitey as a brass button.

So really i just want something better than the stock clutch. I dont want a clutch that would make my car imposible to drive.

So if you's guys have any thoughts what would suit me best it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanx Guys.

Also if you know how much the clutch kit costs it would be good to.

any recomedations or thoughts are welcome, I'd like to know as much info as possible.

My mate got an organic centre which is pretty nice but not ridiculous - I stalled it first time I got in it but 2minutes later I was used to it and it drives great... When I get my next clutch I'll be getting the same.

He has a stock r32 and (over)paid $800 installed.

Does anyone know if Daikin clutches are good?

Seen them on a couple of forums.

Does any one know where i can find there prices for there clutches and where i can get a kit from in brisbane?

My mechanic has quoted me $800 for an organic twin plate clutch fitted with the flywheel machined. I have been trying to decide on a heavy duty or twin plate and i think the twin will be better in the long run. He quoted $550 for a heavy duty fitted.

If you want his details send me a pm

Hmm that's realy tempting there R33 steve.

I called the mechanic i usually go 2, I'm going 2 get him 2 have a look @ it 2morrow,

For a quote.

Is the twin plate going 2 be hard to drive with or still has enough give to drive round through traffic easily.

[Madtrang]

I'll c what I get quoted 2 morrow R33 Steve.

What side of town is your mechanic by the way?

how much power is it making?

I emailed Exedy asking what they could offer me for an rb20det, had to hold at least 200rwkw etc. They suggested their sports organic kit, part number NSK-7056SO.

The max torque rating on this clutch at

7000 rpm is 393 ft/lb at the flywheel, max 524 hp or 391 kw also at the

flywheel.

Unless your trying to hold a whole lot of power, this kit might be worth a look.

goodluck

How much did they quote for the clutch Timd?.

I think that's probably what i want 2 get or something quite similar.

[R33Steve]

Sorry Mad,

once you learn how to drive with the twin plate it will be fine otherwise i wouldnt be getting it as i have to drive in peak hour everyday. If your not going to go over 350rwhp or so just go for the heavy duty.

Ok.

Thanx Steve for the advice. I probably stick to the heavy duty clutch. Might get a daiken heavy duty clutch I think.

I might change it after the new year. As it seemed to drive alot better today.

Would not slip on me. I even droped the clutch and it slipped just a little. So in the new year new clutch.

Also gives me abit of time to get what i realy want. Which at the moment is becoming more clear.

Thanx guys for the input its been of great help.
