Xtreme H/D ceramic clutch experiences

[predator]

lol.. your old clutch didn't look too healthy though cubes

there is some good info on stockists and part numbers and all the rest at www.xtremeclutch.com.au - it is the same clutch for R32 and r33

I am not sure whether just to just get an exchange on the old one when i do the manual conv, or go for something else.. like the Excedy.. which i really liked on the old car.

The pressure plate is fine.

Grab a clutch plate, maybe even the 9puk ceramic and bolt it up.

Much cheaper than buying the whole lot. The pressure plate was driven fairly easy (no clutch drops) so its still in good nick.

Just how much difference on the street is there between the 1000kg XHD and 800kg HD ones?

Will it make much difference on the foot?

Will it make much difference if I am looking to use it with about 230rwkw?

Cheers

With the 1tonne clutch I find I don't sit with my foot on the clutch.

I always throw it in neutral. Peak hour traffic makes your leg damn sore and begin to shake.

The 800kg clutch didn't hurt my leg in peak hour traffic.

For 230rwkw go for a 800kg pressure plate & a 9puk ceramic cushioned clutch plate.

I wouldn't use an organic full face clutch for 200rwkw+. Ride it a little in first and it will slip in second.

Thanks - I will get that then.

Ceramic cushioned clutch plate...

That's this one right?

Dampened Centre, cushioned segment between lining, Multiple sintered button lining bonded to steel backing. Sintered lining offers greater torque capacity, much higher coefficient of friction and higher heat stability and dissipation.

Offers great driveability with the advantages of using a sintered lining, relatively smooth and positive engagement, suited for street and sprint use.

The same as the 2nd one on the list http://www.xtremeclutch.com.au/knowledge_ratings.htm - if that's the one you're recommending then I'll get that one.

Clutches have been confusing me for the last 2 weeks of been looking for one

Thanks again for your help.

Second on the list is the 1000kg. hence XHD and the one I have now that handles around 300rwkw.

The 800kg is the first one on the list, a little lighter on the foot but more than enough performance for 230rwkw.

DCBHD is the one I would look at if I was in your postion.

I have a 9 puck XHD on the way as well after the diaphram in my twin plate snapped in 2 and it was in need of new plates as well on opening it up. As it was only a TS2A (380hp rated) i dont think it would have been up for the caning it would get behind the rb25 anyway.

I'm currently driving around with my stock RB20 clutch in, so nice to drive after a 1000kg bitey unsprung super light clutch and flywheel combo.

So hopefully the new clutch is nice to drive. I'm a bit more confident after reading this thread.

[confuzion]

i have the xtreme 9 puk version, its not THAT heavy and drives very nice (espec compared to the triple plate i had) however after doing a couple launches (gtr) it doesnt seem to fully grip as best as id like it to - as in it slips or cant take the load well.. The triple plate was amazing but undrivable as a daily

[Cubes]

I drove a twin plate OS Giken.. It was very very nice.

Thanks Cubes, I'll get that one.

How many puk is this ? (what's a puk!?) It's 9 right? the number of contact area things?

Sorry for the questions but I've heard alot of terms and none of them really seem to 'match up'/be comparable.

[Cubes]

See if your tuner has a customers car with both the XHD and HD.

Jump in the car and have a feel.

[someonestolecc]

me.. tuner? heh don't have one

I'll take your word for it. I'm basically looking for a clutch 3-4 steps up from a organic HD and 1-2 steps down from a brass button (ie can be hard to use but prefer it to be a little lighter and would prefer a bit of ride).

So - all is good, if it takes my power level that's what I'm mainly concerned with. I just hope it doesn't kill my gearbox + flywheel

Cheers for your help.

emailed horsepowerinabox, they offer that clutch Cubes has pictured for $750 delivered.

"Xtreme DCB unit in Xtra Heavy duty 50% over OEM"

Pretty sure the one for $550 offers 100% over OEM.

Got quoted from them for $625 delivered for KNI24003DCBXHD.

This is the 1 tonne clutch kit (extra hd)..

As Cubes suggested I'm trying to get a quote for the KNI24003DCBHD which is the HD not XHD (the 800kg one) which, is cheaper.

Anyone with a skyline please don't use these part numbers as they are for a SR20DET!

I'm wondering why the quote you got is more than $100 more? Surely the SR and RB clutch kits can't be that different?

[Timd]

was that quote from horsesinabox? how much power are you looking at? i want one that will hold and last with 220rwkw

[someonestolecc]

Yes it was Morrie from horsepowerinabox. I'm hoping the HD is around $550

I'm looking at 200-230rwkw.

Cubes said that'd be sweet as so I'm taking his word for it.

[someonestolecc]

No such luck the HD is quoted at the same price - $625 delivered. Kinda makes me wonder because that's the same price as an exedy ceramic 6 puk kit.

[someonestolecc]

Ok. Correction. I've mis-understood an email I got sent so the prices are - DCBHD $625. the DCBXHD is $725 delivered.

Oops. So sounds like you're about right Timd

[Jimbo2000]

ok so just some confirmation on this... the DCBHD will handle 220-250rwkw without a problem and it isnt shithouse to drive in traffic either?

thanks

Jim

[BHDave]

I have just installed DCBXHD and it drives fine in traffic, gets a bit juddery when crawling along but nothing too bad, dunno how the hd will go for power though.
