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 :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
