thats a bit xtreme haha

go os triple plate unsprung, one of the best clutches i have driven with :)

i didnt even have my clutch booster working and it was fairly light under foot and driveable

plus its designed to take decent hp, ive heard quad plates are also very good, but with gt-ss thats getting a little carried away

wow all the top shelf stuff in this car and its crap like this that stops the car. it realy shows you get what you pay for. haha.

ive never seen a good extreem clutch.

id be going for a OS as i like the light weight design of them. but ive heard you can get similar stuff from excedy now.

Merli my personal advice would be to go for an ATS twin plate carbon clutch I use these in my missus R32GTR(305awkw) daily driver and my R33GTR and have one that will be going into the R33 when i do the getrag conversion. They are a great clutch i cant reccomend them highly enough once you use one you will never go back to any other brand this is just based on my personal experiance I have used OS, excedy, Nismo and would rate that ATS much better than all of them.

DJRIFT - Absolutely... But to be honest, I thought it would last longer...

daz - Mmmm... carbon :( I'll have to see what the budget stretches to... I've had a pretty fearsome spending spree lately :D

i drove a few gtr's in my time and the ones with carbon clutches were by far the best.. (most were just quick drives from the docks to the warehouse)

i wish i had a choice when it came to mine, but after 3 different clutches one being an Ats carbon... i ended up with an Os triple for a jza80 supra fitted.. :D

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
