The one coming out is an Exedy looking at the clutch plate (according to new mechanic). My old receipt just says 'fit new HD clutch', so at a guess Exedy HD.
Current (different mechanic) is looking into a few heavier duty options. But he agrees even if I thrashed it day in and day out I should've gotten more. I have no definitive way of knowing which sucks ass.
It never slipped during normal driving (until last trip), so I can't imagine that it was slowly slipping away, but perhaps it was, just not enough to notice?
Hoping that this new clutch lasts the life of the car. Given I'm going down to 33's (sick of yellow stickers) as well, really no excuse for another clutch to not last longer.

Interesting. I have an Exedy clutch that has just clocked up 20000ks.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

It's possible the previous mechanic never replaced the clutch, or it was a dud. Will never know unfortunately.

Interesting. @AB had an Exedy HD in his GQ with not that many kms on it that slipped when he fitted the new turbo. He was surprised too at the short life. He has now fitted a UFI Clutch.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Yeah it's really short. Paying money to do the same job twice within such a short timeframe hurts the hip pocket.
From what I could find, warranty is 10,000kms - but it's more of a defect out of the box type thing. Speaking to a few people, they have a few outs (bigger tyers, been thrashed, blah blah).
Geeeeeeez. 526k kms. That's crazy good haha!

I stuffed up. The exedy has done 30000ks, but it also feels as if the is not a great deal of meat on it as it only takes a small push on the pedal to make it slip, under load.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
