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.

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.

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 $

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

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

Yeh,i went and talked to Dan last saturday and he walked me through my options and we decided on a combo he uses in his race car.Just gotta plan a good time to book it in.

bloke builds thousands of clutches and has an issue with one and you blokes cant get over it.........i dont understand.

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

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
