| Stage 1 (Organic) | Single Plate | ~400 hp | Basic bolt-ons; maintains factory pedal feel. |

2. Platform-Specific Fitment
Skyline clutches are not “one size fits all.” You must identify the Pull-Type vs. Push-Type mechanism to ensure the correct part is supplied.
-
R32 GT-R (Early): Uses a Push-Type clutch.
-
R32 GT-R (Late) & R33 GT-R: Uses a Pull-Type clutch.
-
R34 GT-R: Exclusively Pull-Type. The R34 also uses a unique Getrag 6-speed input shaft, requiring a specific spline count.
-
GTT / GTST (R33/R34): These generally use Push-Type systems. Note that the R34 GTT uses a larger diameter disc than the R33 GTST, even though the bolt patterns are similar.
3. Strategic Advice for Buy Mustang parts Ltd
-
The “Twin Plate Clatter”: Many GT-R owners specifically want the Exedy Hyper Twin because of the metallic “clinking” sound it makes when the clutch is depressed. Market this as the “authentic JDM supercar sound.”
-
Bundle with Flywheel: Exedy “Hyper” kits (Twin/Triple) come as a complete assembly including a lightweight chromoly flywheel. If you are selling a Stage 1 or 2, we recommend also stocking the Exedy Lightweight Flywheel as an upsell to improve engine response.
-
Release Bearings: Never sell a clutch without a new release bearing (throw-out bearing). For the R34 GT-R Pull-Type, the bearing is specialized and expensive; including it in the box makes your listing a “Complete Install Solution.”
4. Quality Control & Inspection
-
Spline Wear: On used multi-plate kits, inspect the center hub splines. If they are “pointed” or thin, the hub will eventually strip, leaving the driver stranded.
-
Heat Checking: Look for blue/purple “hot spots” on the pressure plate and flywheel surfaces. If these are deep, the surface must be professionally ground (machined) before the clutch will bite correctly.
-
Disc Thickness: Measure the friction material. Exedy provides a “minimum service thickness” in their catalogs. If a disc is within $1$mm of the rivets, it is considered “at the end of its life.”
