Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
Ok i need some opinions...
what should i save up for first, the clutch and flywheel combo, or the greddy piggyback ecu?
the clutch issue will only get worse with the added power of the greddy, but the up side if the computer is the fuel economy might be a bit more favourable...
what should be my priority?

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
Sorry Cam,
This is not the thread to be dragging the piggy-back ECUs into.
You can ask this question in your members ride thread.
Let's leave this thread on the topic of clutches and their upgrades.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
This was also confirmed to me by the dealer (un-officially) who said they're getting MANY xtrails in with early clutch wear and problems.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
something ive noticed over the last few weeks just thought id share...
you may recall the discussion on our electronic throttle and its tendency to cause the revs to jump in between gear changes. (see here and here )
from what im thinking, this maybe what is causing premature wear on our poor clutches.

i think whats happening is between gear changes, the revs are jumping up for half a second before they fade down, forcing the clutch to slow the flywheel down to the gear box's speed, rather than the revs dropping off to meet said speed.
also cos it feels like our stock clutch isnt really that strong, needs a stronger clamping force, its only about ~680kgs at stock and thats not that much for a 4wd, especially one as powerful as x-trails.
yeh just thought id share thoughts.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
Shane
All patrols have dual mass pressure plate which suit 4wds to the ground.
The purpose of them is to prevent shudder on take off, the small amount of twist they have absorbs this.
Where as a dual mass flywheel, I'm not so sure why Nissan they would even bother.
The pressure plate is a lot cheaper to replace than the flywheel.
