Luxluc Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have a RPS max street clutch, plus RPS lightened flywheel on my Supe Claire. Great combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have a RPS max street clutch, plus RPS lightened flywheel on my Supe Claire. Great combination. Ditto that bit of a PINTA in traffic but you get used to it, gives you quick gear changes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick001 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Ditto that bit of a PINTA in traffic but you get used to it, gives you quick gear changes too Mine is much the same, sometimes good changes other times you need to be Mr Swarzenigger to make the gear change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 i was just gna ask does it make the clutch pedal very hard to press down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick001 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 i was just gna ask does it make the clutch pedal very hard to press down!!! In my case, it has improved slightly in the few months i have had it - i forgot to order a new thrust bearing when i got mine so had to use the n/a 5 speed one so maybe thats an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 i was just gna ask does it make the clutch pedal very hard to press down!!! Clutch is slightly stiffer than stock. The RPS flywheel is a bit noisy at low revs, but nothing to bother about ... just a little bit sportcar-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireRZ-S Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 mine is the 6puk one which is rated at 810 pounds of torque i think its rated for drag launches chris has ur one in his and he said it was fine. I got the pilot bearing for the clutch which was recommend and release bearing and its to reduce the noise , not using semi worn parts new ones like.

Good idea Claire ... everytime the clutch is changed, all the rings, bearings etc should be changed. So how does it drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Claire, If you are think n of changing you flywheel as well, you might want to look into OS Giken clutches as they are like stock to drive. They make a converter to turn the pull action of a stock in to a push action for Giken clutch. The converter mechanism, which has to be used in the MKIV, has several pivot points, so in effect you have a number of levers helping to reduce peddle effort. Mine is a triple plate, before I fitted it I was concerned it would be a pig to drive due to the very high clamping force of the clutch. It was a great surprise to find it was so easy to use. I know Giken clutches are not the flavour of the month, but they are damn good. All multi plate clutches are noisy and sound like the gear box is going to fall to bits when stationary or at low rpm . Uprated clutches that use the same mechanism as the stock clutch are going to be harder on the peddle as you have to over come the clamping force of the clutch every time yo change gear. Giken single plates dont suffer from the noise. We have a Exeedy twin plate clutch in our 200SX with the RB25 engine. I hate it because the peddle effort is high and the bite point is very narrow, a few mm of peddle travel between disengaged and full on. It is just like a switch when trying to pull away, once the car is rolling its a great clutch, in traffic it is a total bitch, driving through London was a nightmare. If you can try to get to pull away in cars fitted with a range of clutches. One pull away will tell you if the clutch is the one for you.

I didnt know if its being changed if its warped or anything it will be changed clutch was to be taken out 2nite so hopefully should be alrite. jesus the size of the gearbox when i saw it and the clutch..
