Default Your opinions on this Integra Type R / GS-R clutch / 8lb flywheel combo JDM...

I did a complete search and came up empty on this clutch and flywheel combination.

I won't get into too much detail in regard to the Integra Type R / GS-R clutch / 8lb flywheel combo JDM. The ad say's it's the top selling clutch / flywheelin Japan JDM market.

If some of you have the time to check out the link below. I'd really apperciate your opinions on this set up.

Peace Out

Doesn't anyone have anything to say about this set up? If I go with this combo, I'd like to know weather it's worth the money.

If not, I'll go with ACT or Exedy type clutch and flywheel. From what the ad says, it's looks like it'll be a good way to go, but, it's E-bay.

I don't want to get burned. So please take another look and tell me what you all think. The link is above at the start of the thread.

Thanx in advance

I've never heard of any of those brands.

boy howdy he sure does hype it up that his stuff is jDm y0!!!

Nippon, I've heard of them, didn't know they made clutches... Koyo, heard of them but usually for radiators... no mention of the flywheel brand, but oh did you hear that it's JDM???

All that for $288? eeesh I would stay away, you get what you pay for. My ClutchMasters clutch disc, pressure plate, and 7.5 lb flywheel altogether was around $600.

*edit* Aimco clutch company, direct from Japan huh? The only place "Aimco Clutch Co." exists anywhere on the internet is that eBay store.... there is another Aimco but they are in the power tool business.

I'd like to know what those Japanese characters really say on that banner w/ the NSX right above the auction description.

PatrickGSR94;

Thank you for your input, I'll be sure to stay away from this set up. I thought it was to good to be ture, but then again, it's E-bay.

I guess I'll just stay the course and do some research on the Exedy and ACT clutchs and flywheels, I'll look into Clutch Master too.

I'd like a set up that I can use for DD and a bit of spirited driving now and again. For exsample, Stage One Organic clutch with a 9 to 12 lb flywheel.

Peace out

The Japanese is hard to make out because it's so small...

The first line says:

Healthy "GAARUZU"(an attempt to pronounced an english word... I say it out loud and the closest I can figure is "girls") "BONDO/PONDO" (not sure which it is since the text is blurry and I have no idea what english word that's meant to be)

I have no idea what the hell that's supposed to mean.

Edit: Perhaps "Healthy gears bond" - poor translation

The smaller line under it says:

[some kanji I can't read] recommended best & combination

The line in the very bottom left says:

"SUKAIRAIN"(skyline) "OONAA"s (owner's) [more unreadable kanji] "KOONAA" (corner?)

They seem to be just random sentences that don't have anything to do with the product itself, except maybe the second one, which is poorly written.

Dunno if this means anything to anyone or if anyone can translate better

that's what I figured, sounds like they just threw some characters on there to further the "jDm y0!!" image.

nice try bro. the 1st line actually says "hot/energetic girls band".
the 2nd line says "this week's best & combination".
Ok, first line somewhat makes sense but second line is questionable.
in addition to that, this has nothing to do with cars or clutches
I see so many stupid ebayers with weird Japanese that either doesn't make any sense or
is completely irrevant to what they are selling.


stay away from this crap.
