Suitable Clutch

[monga]

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.

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.

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

said before and say it again... Jim Berry FTW

how long does Jim take to work

[shanef]

depends if he has one on the shelf already made. i dropped in one afternoon a bit b4 5, he had to leave at 5 to go to an opening, but we didnt stop talking until like 5:30...anyhoo he tested the clamp pressure for me there and then, and if he had another 30mins or so was going to set a different clutch face up for me

give him a burl, better talk to him about it then the rest of us

Ive got an OS triple plate on my GTR32 and i make less than 500rwhp with quite alot of torque, and it holds great. no problems wotsoever and its not that hard to drive even on the streets...

[monga]

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

[shanef]

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.

How many single clutch GTRS are on the forum producing over 500hp? how many are there with twins?
