personally from my own experience i would not go these clutches. I bought one made up like that and am only making 250rwkw and a new flywheel, only to find that the clutch blew totally after 2 months... Best bet is to go for a twin plate set-up in case u want to go further or want to race it on the track and the strip...

Hmm I'm still waiting to install mine (my car is off the road) I hope this doesn't happen to me.

Everyone drives differant, so its hard to gauge how a clutch will hold up, doesnt matter which brand

I have a extreme, the heavy duty one, and mine has been on there now for almost 3 1/2 years, done 62,000kms and still grips like all hell, I would definatley get one of these again.

Mine is also running with a cromoly 4.5kg flywheel, installed the same time. All those kms where done making around 200rwkw too

Dunno what you guys are worried about, just put it in and enjoy!

Im seriously thinking in this one but the mechanic says is shudders and is a bitch in traffic. :D But i want something with minimal slipage and that can stand a bit ......well more than a bit....of thrashing every now and then. :) WHat do you guys think,

Anyone?

Dono how to do it and never done it before.

Oh yeah and as per my other thread I think even with the kit in the car won't move cos of the gearbox :

When are you doing the work? Dumhed still booked in? If it's still off the road in a couple of weeks and you need a hand with it pm me and i'll help out.

I've done 3 in the last month now so am getting relatively good at it. SR boxes are easy.

I got a 9 puch cushioned ceramic in my 200SX. The 860kg pressure plate feels like stock! I was hoping it would be stronger. The clutch shudders a lil on take off, but it bites when you want it to. It suprisingly has quite a bit of play like an organic. Maybe next time I'll get the 1 tonne pressure plate. But I do recommend this clutch for someone who wants the middle ground between an organic and button style clutch.

i bought one of the xtreme ceramic cushioned kits from Tim Poss. back in the RPM day. I think it must be the 9 puck one coz i remember a lot of puks. I was told it would be good for around 220rwkw and i believe its only the 800kg pressure plate.

Been running it hard with over 260rwkw for a while now and it will only give up its grip on really harsh near-flatshifting. This is running RE55 tyres also so even more of a challenge for the clutch. All in all never given any problems, and i think if it was going to smash it wouldve by now! I dont have any of the parking problems cubes mentioned either. It used to shudder a little if i treid to ride it, but now its smooth -must be getting low or something. Girlfriend can drive it without stalling it no worries.

just a Quick note.. I thought id add this as im looking possibly for a new clutch soon and have been hovering over this Thread for Weeks like some :rofl:

I rang SAS and they have Quoted $660 for supply of the DCBHD and supply of New flywheel as well $620.44 for the Flywheel . $1280.44 . Is this a reasonable price for this kit ? as im still rather confused here hehe . Do i need the Flywheel ?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
