R33 Gts-t clutches: Which are good

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?

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...

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
