bammbamm Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 hi all just got my first supra two months ago, its a 1994 mk4 n/a jap import. however the clutch has gone for a burton, went to the garage and they told me it has to be a high performance clutch because the jap imports have a higher bhp than the uk spec. is this true or can a uk spec clutch be fitted.

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 NA's have the exact same engine and BHP so the clutch should be exactly the same item. If you want an uprated one anyway, then try some of the traders on here and see what they can do. Failing that, you could always go to Japan. Ben..

Nick_TC Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 There was never any UK MKIV N/A's, they were all imports. I'd take it to someone who knows what they're actually talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yep, those guys sound UTTERLY clueless. The only N/A produced was a jap import car, they were all about 220bhp, although some had 5speed and some had 6 speed gearboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Originally posted by NWS25 There was never any UK MKIV N/A's, they were all imports. D'OH!! I knew that! Can't believe I forgot that no NA's where never on sale here! ARGH! Back to the point though, it is the mentality of people over here to get rather confused with imports, only this morning I had a run in with my local Toyota Dealer who tried to tell me that they only ever use 75W/90 (or something) in all of the gearboxes that they do, and it is not possible to get 1 litre tins of v160 oil. Again I had to find the part number and phone them back to make them look very stupid indeed!! :D Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 strange isn't it, one simple word IMPORT and all the garage bods go all weak at the knees. The local scumbaru dealership still wont touch imports. What a crazy world, we should be able to buy a car from where ever we like and not get all this shite. But what do I car, mines UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammbamm Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 thanks guys, i tried telling the guy that all imports were n/a, but like you say he is an idiot. anyway on the way home from him it started doing some serious slipping, just managing to push 20mph down the dule (is that how you spell that) carrageway and coasted through the gates. the AA are picking it up in the morning to take it to a guy who knows his stuff, hopefully. happy new year anyway.

SRB Power ltd Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Any MK4's running Exedy Twin or Triple plates? If so, any comments? We've had nothing but good feedback on them from the 200sx guys and so just wondering if there's any lurking here:) Cheers Dan btw, Happy New Year everyone, inc Nick and Adam;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Dan, I know there are Supras running the Excedy's but I dont think many/if any on here. We've sold more than a few RPS clutches and our customers love them, also the Excedy's we've sold have had similar praise from GTR/SX/GTI-R boys Gaz.

SRB Power ltd Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hey up Gaz, Happy New year matey:) Cheers for the feedback. I know the GTR guys love the Exedy's and they're excellent value for money too. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 The Exedy is good VFM, but very noisey. The RPS Twin disc Carbon is in another league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
