Yes I did a search, No I coulnt find what I wanted.

I have a Cefiro, RB20 making around 220rwkw. Need to know whats the best clutch to put in it, it is a daily driver and does occasionally drift. And I do have a budget. So I want something easy to drive and that will strong enough for the output to give me longevity.

Organic patrol clutch is what I was thinking, thats the only one i really know.

Thanks

Im running an excede hd clutch, its awsome!!! mines the pink series organic... not a bad clutch i might add... though if you give it a hard time all the time i dont think it'll last all that long... your better off getting brass button if you plan to hammer it alot. Mines held up fine so far ( a whole of 3 weeks ) and i got a shop to order it, machine flywheel, and put it in.

I got a 5 puck carbon one from Jim Berry with a new fly wheel, and my pressure plate recoed and modded, lot cost me $1200... But thats 3500lb clamping pressure, and he said its good for about 800ish fwhp. Other than being a bit bity it feels like a standard clutch, fairly light.

The 5puk would handle more power with the same pressure plate than say a 9puk. Same goes for a 3puk vs 5puk. Obviously as you lessen the puks you also lessen drivability.

My 9puk is quite grabby and often chirps in first, especially when trying to reverse etc. I would be interestered to see if the 5puk was much worse than mine.

BUT I am running a stock flywheel, its well known the stock flywheels to be softer as a result more grabby than a molly item.

Thanks everyone, yeah its starting to slip quite a lot now so goodbye boost in 3rd 4th and 5th. hey cc how much did you pay??

I think it was about $400? Dono it was like $20 less than the website or something - it's a pretty good price already.

I helped BHDave put it in (Dave = champppppION!)

I like it because when I dump it it grabs, when I dump it ridiculously it doesn't bite harder than I'd be comfortable to crunch into the gearbox. On the other hand if you like to change quick it'll chirp when you want it. I've given it a very good life but I'm sure with abuse it would be ok.

I never actually thanked Cubes for his recommendation either. Thanks Joel - great clutch it's perfect for me.

The poor old pedal box flex's a bit with the 1060kg pressure, one day it will pop.

You serious? I have the same clutch and pedal effort is barely increased over stock. I wouldn't have thought the pedal box would be flexing much.

I'll have to check one of these days.

Yep.. Its quite common.

Nismo sell reinforced replacements for the R33's and R34's.

Bl4ck32 has had his go with his OS Twin plate, what scares me is the OS was lighter than my 9puk 1tonne thing.

I've ran a 800kg organic, it was a little heavier than stock and not too bad, this 1tonne thing is like a dead weight. Heavy sucker, my other half doesn't like driving it.

I found the problem with organics is after a hard launch they tend to get hot a slip a little, I would launch at 4000rpm in first, click second and find second would some times slip depending how aggressive my launch was.

The ceramic on the other hand simply holds on and isn't affected by heat as much.

I paid $600 all up for mine.

If you do go ceramic be prepared to replace your flywheel next clutch replacement. Grab an xtreem lightened thing with a replaceable insert.

Ha I wish I had 800fwhp, it should be about half that, wanted to try and get away fitted for under 1K, Also can anyone recommed a good workshop in the north of sydney to carry it out. preferably a place which specialises in clutches.

So do I. But I had just gone an RB25 box, with the plan for next year to put in an RB30/26, and I dont like doing things twice.

Its in a cef but :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
