I have a R33 gts-t that's a bit modified and was looking a t getting a new clutch for it. My car is putting out 320hp at the wheels at 1.2bar boost at the moment and needs tuning so I want something that can handle at least 600hp@flywheel.

It currently has an hks triple plate solid centre clutch which works great and never slips but the problem is that it makes the car hard to drive.... i either have to give it some revs and take off spinning the wheels a bit or ease it out very very slowly over about 5seconds. I was just wanting to know if anyone has a good clutch in their car that can handle this power without being too difficult to use that they can recommend. At the moment I am thinking about OS Giken or Ogura Racing Clutch Twin Plate Sprung Centre Clutches.I don't want to drag it with this clutch or do like 6000rpm+ launches just be able to still rev it out without the clutch slipping.

Also does anyone in my area have a clutch of this type... i m in noosa on sunshine coast, qld.

Thanks for any help

What does a clutch cost?

I guess my car will be going close to 200rwkw eventually and i'd like to put aside enough $$ incase i start having problems with the standard item.

Anyone have suggestions for a car that will be aiming for low 13/high 12s on the odd occasion while also being very driveable to work each day?

Hi guys, REV210 is right choose one for the horsepower you want, plus I have a simple rule;

for 2wd drive a twin plate is plenty, regardless of how you use it

for 4wd drive a twin plate is plenty for the street

for a 4wd street/drag car, a 3 plate is the go

BTW we use OS Giken as they have a nice range to suite the above.

Hope that helps

Is the following item (From $495 exchange) combined with a lightened flywheel worth worrying about if i'm going to keep below 250rwkw? or should I/can I just get a lightened flywheel with the standard clutch?

"UAS Modified sports clutch with 40% increased clamping pressure and 6 finger cinted bronze Cerametalic button clutch plate. Grips well lasts a long time and not savage on take up. Anti Burst Casting (Nodular Iron) pressure plate. We can rebuild and improve clutches for any car.

I'm used to the triple now, but my parents need to be able to drive the car, that's why it has to go...

It's a clutch you can quite easily get used to, but not just hop in the car and drive it...

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
