Twin Plate Or Bust

[Get EPIC]

Hi all.Was told by a reputable worskshop and tuner on the gold coast that unless i put a orc twin plate clutch or similar in my R33 RB25 which will soon be running arond 270 rwkw that only a twin plate will stand up to the job.Running an Apexi ax53b7025 turbo.I am planning on taking the car to the drags to see what it is capable of.Other than that it will be my weekend car and am planning on taking it to events such as powercruise.Does anybody think a heavy duty of some sort or a Jim Berry clutch would be up to the task?I was Quoted $3000 for the ORC twin plate but i can not afford it at this point in time and not in the near future either.

I'm currently running a single plate organic (custom built by a racing shop in sydney) on my GTR. 400kw atw and does not slip. Been on for a year at that power level and yet to have any issues. I get them through my mechanic here in brissy, pull type on a GTR is $1350 and $1250 for a pull type. If this sort of set up interests you send me a PM and I'll see if I can organise one for you.

whats the best value for money clutch for a gts-t with 300rwkw?

I'll probably be needing one in the near future

After doing some research,either a Jim Berry or what joeyjoejoe's running.

Currently running an Exedy heavy duty uncushioned ceramic single plate on my car atm. 297rwkw for nearly 12 months and the clutch has not slipped once. I run the same gearbox as yours so if you're looking for the exact same clutch then the part number is = NSK-7056HDB. Got it through a mate, can't remember exactly how much I paid but I'm certain it was around the $450 mark. Brand new, came in a kit with new thrust and spigot bearings.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you can certainly go harder than that though

I run the HHHDB and it's really pretty easy to drive and will take a LOT of punishment

i got i wholesale so have no idea of the retail $

Jim berry would be the go. Was fine behind my 399rwkw RB25

ceramic, organic or carbotic variety? how much clamping force?

[Galois]

Give Jim Berry a call, he'll happily let you know what your options are. He's a top bloke, always keen for a yarn.

[NYTSKY]

Who needs twin or even triple when you have a Jim Berry single plate?!

A friend of mine has over 700awkw in his GTR and has drag raced the car for over 9 months. No dramas.

Getting rebuilt now at a cost of $500!!!

Best value, best performace clutch in the world hands down.

Same clutch is in my car and will never look back. Almost stock feel too.

had a $300 clutch (2500lb organic) made by a local mob that handled 250rwkw for a couple of years, was still fine on the street and was very nice to drive but slipped at the drags after a hard launch. now got a 3000lb ceramic from the same place for $450, will see how it goes with 300+rwkw and 30det torque

definately no need for $3000 twin plates

4000lb clamp force. Was easier to drive with than a nismo twin plate.

Cant remember what it was made of.

[SiR_RB]

I got a single plate hi torque heavy duty organic clutch and was told will handle 320awkw no probs. Very streetable clutch and easy on the foot

Call Dan at Elite Racing on 3807 2789 he will get you somthing from NPC which is usually cheaper than Jim and uses a pressure plate that is less inclined to grenade in a dangerous manner as Finelines Jim Berry did

1 i would ignore.... but there have been a few...

[Kaido_RR]

Nismo twin plate... would never use anything else.

ran one in my gts-t with over 350hp lots of track work (lots and lots of drift e.g clutch kicking) took the clutch out and it looked brand new had been in the car for atlest 3years.

was very streetable with no rattle and not super hard, was easier to drive than my old 5puk button clutch and alot nicer on my gbox/drive-train
