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!

has anyone tried the Xtreme DSBHD with the 5 puk design? 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.

Hey champ,

As you prollz know already unfortunately some geezer crashed into his car. Ima let the man work out his shit out first before bothering him bout mine.

As for me - yeah I'm still waiting heh ... :boohoo:

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 ?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
