Ive driven a five puck ceramic button clutch before and they take a bit of practice to get used to compared to your organic clutches but definitely a good upgrade. A bit of a bitch in traffic but practice makes perfect. Im thinking of getting a 6 puck ceramic button which will be a bit easier to drive than the 5 puck. :D

im not worried about the feel, ill drive anything. More worried about my poor old gearbox. Its reconditioned but ill really crack the shits if i shatter it with an over the top clutch.

Lanfoh, what 6 puck are you looking at?

Was looking at the one UAS website as I know they do some good work, a bit pricey but they do have a fair bit of experience with skylines. Havent really decicded yet though. My standard clutch is slipping like a **** so Ive gotta act quickly. :headspin:

Use the 9 puck cushioned button ceramic from extreme.

Have fitted and sold heaps of them and are a very good, progressive clutch that your mum could drive but will bite when launched.

We have them in everything from RB silvia's in drifting to GTR's with 400rwhp and they work well.

Cheers

Lanfoh......its an rb20 box

I've been looking at the cushioned ceramic from extreme, although looks like theyre not a puck design plate like the button?

"The cushioned ceramic is one disc option and is not a puck design like the

ceramic button units. The next step from a cushioned disc is a twin."

Plus they are an extra 100 bucks, 650 delivered and every dollar counts for me at the moment.

If the ceramic button isnt going to destroy my gbox it seems like a cheap option

I cushioned cermamic clutch is what i was looking at with my chaser i think for daily driving with a bit of track use they are worth the extra money. i ended up with a twin plate clutch which i love easy to drive but they ain that cheap

How many puk is this clutch?

The price is nice, but for the same price I have found a exedy clutch plate with pbr pressure plate (or $650 for a full exedy organic 5 puk kit). Don't mean to hi-jack but are clutches pretty much all the same?

For those who have this clutch - I'd like a step up from a heavy duty organic but a step down from a full on brass button, will the xtreme one listed on that page be ok?

i couldnt disagree more...

i just installed the 6 puk cerametallic one hoping for a nice on off feel.

and was quite dissapoint.

there is SO much ride in it.. have i done something wrong?

i dont mean like HEAPS of ride. but about the same as mine old organic exedy boring heavy duty.

quite dissapointed indeed..

this is with a freshly machined flywheel too..

I run the Xtreme 9 puk 1tonne clutch, I bought it from Tim the previous owner of Horsepowerinabox.

Its fairly nice to drive. Shudders a bit when you try to ride it but still has enough give to take off smoothly at the lights.

It is very easy to have it chirping the wheels when letting it out.

When parking you basically have to either let the clutch totally out and idle in or let the clutch out move forward and dip the clutch before it shudders, then repeat the procedure until you have parked/reversed etc.

I have grown to quite like it. The grab & ride-ability is very similiar to a OS twin plate I've driven, BUT obviously the pedal feels harder.

what he said :rofl:

got mine yesterday.. tis very nice.

Pics of the 9puk.

From memory the HD is around 800kg's, the XHD is 1000kg's or 1tonne.

My previous clutch was a HD 800kg organic clutch. Wasn't too bad. Fairly light.

There is a noticable difference with the XHD.

My little mum can't drive the car, the clutch is too heavy with the XHD.

Probably because she's used to a Landcruiser and prior to that Patrol that had power assisted clutches.

What I would give to adapt one of those Nissan power assisted clutches to the r32. :D

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
