How did the clutch feel? Any slipping? I would have imaged that you would have mentioned in, but I am just curious. I just wonder what the condition is of the clutchs in these clips that have been sitting for who knows how long.

Post by **cyris3d** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

seemd fine with the stock turbo.. now with the t3/t4 there is a lil bit of slippage

Post by **JeffTN** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

Have you thought about what clutch that you are going to upgrade too yet?

Post by **cyris3d** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

mack seems to really like the OS Gilken cluth.. so im thinking of goin that route.. either that or the ACT Clutch kit

Jim Wolf Tech. has a clutch for that transmission for $550 dollars. It comes with the pressure plate and holds over 500 lbs tourqe. If you call them its the 300zx n/a clutch for the RB25. They will know what one you are talking about.

You should try the ACT and report back. I'm going to go with that one...

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

a friend of mine has an ACT clutch, and his was slipping after 2weeks... o, yea, he has a 12.8sec evo8 (4wheel drive kills ya)

Post by **Altiman94** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I have heard a few bad things about ACT, but alot of people dont properly break them in causing all kinds of problems, too.

Post by **Bryson** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

altiman has a point, Nizmo your friend's clutch probably began slipping like mad after only 2 weeks because he didn't go easy on it for the first 500. I've heard it is EXTREMELY important to do this, and I doubt if it is a car he drag races and its on;y been in there two weeks, that he babied it for the first 500.

yes breaking in the clutch is important, all the components need time to settle before you go launching and beating on it.

Post by **Nathan** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

Pucked clutches dont need nearly as much of a break in period

HEY CYRIS I SAW YOU NEEDED AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. I HAVE THE ONE OFF OF MY RB25DE IF YOU WANT IT EMAIL ME, WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT: [email protected]

THEY ARE THE SAME SETUP AS THE TURBOS.

Hey cyris, how come my rb run like a stock eclipse only on 8psi. I don't feel that my will hit 13 or 14 second. Right now my car is every thing stock.

any helps will appreciated.

Post by **apex_7** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I hit mid-high 14s my first time to the track. IMO, It's all in the launch. I finally got a 13.9@102 w/ a 2.2 60ft on street tires. My clutch was slipping really badly too. What clutch is a cross-reference to the RB20. Is it the 300zx TT or NA? Thanks in advance.~Tony

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

ITS NA, THE PILOT BUSHING IS A TIGHT FIT THOUGH.

Post by **S13Sil-line** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

You can pick up a JWT clutch for $550 that hold over 500 lbs of tourqe.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

thats a damn good price, what transmission is that for?

Post by **Bryson** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I'd imagine its for any of the RB trannies.

Post by **S13Sil-line** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I know for a fack it fits the RB25. From what I hear, they are all the same except the RB26.

Post by **Bryson** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I think even the 26 is the same. You can bolt an RB25 transmission to the 26 so why not?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

im with bryson on this one, i know the 25 transmission bolts up to a 25, so i dunno, however the only difference is the 26 is 4wd

Post by **S13Sil-line** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

I know the 26 bolts up to the 25 transmission but I guess that would make sence.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

right, but the 26 transmission is 4wheel drive, so it makes it different

Explain how. None of the parts within the AWD system interfere with the clutch...

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

this is true, but its usually better to run a stroner clutch with AWD as the clutch genrally has to grab haardre because there won't be much wheelspin. Either way, we need to just get someone to clarify whether or nort this clutch wold work for the 26 transmission as well as the 25

Post by **Bryson** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

you do know that the skyline isn't real AWD right? Its most always RWD with the occassional AWD when it loses traction.

Though I'm sure you knew that.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 1:47 am

THE RB26 FLYWHEEL IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE RB20'S THE CLUTCH SYSTEM IS STRONGER THOUGH. THE RB26 CLUTCH IS ALSO A PULL STYLE AS OPPOSED TO THE RB20 PUSH.
