monga Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hi guys, I'm rebuilding my R32 GTR at the moment and everything is assembled and looking great but I'm deciding what clutch to use. I've had a HKS Twin plate and that is dead I think the previous owner in Japan took it for a ride so I tried a Exedy Button clutch rated at my HP but failed. Now I want to return to twin plate or possibly triple. I've being looking at a Exedy Twin plate ( new model ) which looks good also OS GIKENS. After a HKS twin plate failing im not to keen on that.

Gav Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Purchasing second hand clutches worry me? am I tripping You can buy new plates and parts for the HKS clutches - may be worth checking out prices of this before committing to the outlay of a brand new unit. Xspeed sourced sprung centres for my second hand HKS twin plate without too many problems. This is supporting abuse from well over 500 awhp. Won't hurt bto give them a call first.

shanef Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 but for a "fully monty" for ~$1300 from jim can you go wrong? also his customer service is second to none also he assured me it'll be more than capable of holding 900hp in an rb26/30 driven gtr Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/134652-suitable-clutch/#findComment-2506331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monga Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I rang up and they said that they will make a single plate up to handle alot of HP. I think I'll stick with a known twin plate which most guys use with big power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/134652-suitable-clutch/#findComment-2516480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanef Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Can i ask why ud still rather go for a twin/tripple over a single if the single can do the same job? I mean it'll be cheaper, be easier to drive (i saw u do that ubolt when u left my house jboy, im sure a single would make the turn alot easier ) plus with john's clutch's u get his customer service, advice and professionalism, which u wont find anywhere else.
