two.06l: why didn't you tell me this when i pm'ed you the other day about his clutches - i just sent mine up there to get built!!

Because I had this built for one of our customers....only to discover yesterday that he has a PUSH type clutch. I would have sold it to you otherwise. Im in this game to help not hinder.

how would this compare to a exedy 3 puck ceramic ? (cause its around the same price )

Would actually prefer a twin plate but dont have that kind of money right now so I was going to go with the above mentioned clutch to see how long it holds out.

I'll take a guess at answering these questions but don't take my word for it.

Single plate, probably around 3300-3400 pounds clamping pressure. Probably rebuilt from a standard GTR clutch (or maybe a excedy HD clutch)

HP hard to say, If its the same clutch that DIRTgarage use it, they run over 400rwkw :D

Hope this helps (and hope its right :( )

Brand new modified excedy 10" pressure plate (standard GTR is 9.5"), carbotic 5 or 6 puck sprung centre. It has been setup and tested in house at Race Clutch, and is developing around 4500lb of clamping force. We have used the same clutch in our race car for nearly two seasons, and can't speak any more highly enough of its performance/longetivity. Our car is producing 411awkw and 467rwkw so it can certainly do its job.

p.s. please pm for more info.

Would it be a straight fit into my R33 gtr?

Im looking at making around 380rwkw, do u think it will hold up?

Just askin cause I had a exedy single plate with 3400 tonne pressure, 5 puk button and it only lasted 6 weeks. I've been told I will need a twin plate to hold up with the power I'll will be makin.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
