What launch technique do i employ to lay down quick 60's? Ride or dump?

330awkw will be my future plans, what clutch is everyone using for street using with this sort of power?

I know the excedy is great, but which model excedy? Needs to be light and strong

OS GIKEN twin plate.

HARD slip from about 5000revs.

Use something cerametalic with a button face and a decent clamp load.

I have faith in the exedy HD 5 button, some US manufacturers make 6 button discs which you can track down sepperately if you wish.

I have also seen/used an extreme motorsport kit on an SR20 RWD which had a good clamp load and a 6 button disc. I am fairly sure they are pricier than the exedy though.

Dial up a few rpm, hold the handbrake so you dont roll out of the staging lights, get the clutch to grab point, dial in a few more rpm 6k ish then feed out the clutch while you feed in the power as you drop the handbrake. A little slip on the line will get you out of the hole ALOT quicker.

OR limmiter bash and dump the clutch for AWD fury.... ha ha ha

Your choice.

If your going for a time, don't get to conserned about the tree, just go when you want to go. If you want to beat the v8 next to you, drop the clutch on the last red light to leave that sucker at the line.

Have fun

im using nismo coppermix twin plate, really good for the street

Budget would be around $1000

well that rules out most of them, and deffinately rules out any twin plate.

budget and GTR :( get what you pay for, and launching a GTR puts a lot of stress and wear on the clutch.

I think you need to double that budget..

jim berry?

got one for my last GTR R33 400rwhp ended up costing about $1500 including second hand standard flywheel supplied & machined, clutch with 4200lbs clamp, 2 weeks later exploded taking out the gearbox. Got another and that was a shuddery pig and didn't last after a few events and launches.

Some people rave about them but that was my experience, now I go with quality multi plates designed for the power. not the standard GTR clutch with a bit more clamp?

this is from last hights outing. r33 gtr, currently at 340whp (god i need to replace those cooler hoses >.<) JIM BERRY full monty, 5100 clamp, nice clutch ;)

reaction time of 0.595

60ft time of 1.683

1/8 et of 7.81

1/4 et of 12.484

181.633kph

Driving style was simple, gently ease the throttle to 7700rpm, watch tree, dump clutch, hang on :(

bit disapointed my cooler pipes hadnt shown up before the meet but hey, thats what happens sometimes. next meet i hope to be able to turn ze pressure up and get a retune back to 400+whp and get my 11 slip :)

Cheers, allan

in the forsale section has OS giken 3SC triple plate $3000+ worth of clutch done 3000km + 5 hours dyno for $1000.

probably over kill for your application, but a quality clutch--bargain

Contact Ben on 0401 779 905 for any other questions

That's my contact above and still for sale - OS Giken R3C with correct bearing and carrier. To be brutally honest I'll never, ever, EVER use anything but a carbon triple plate now. ATS (which are the xtreme clutches) clutches drive like stock (very progressive) and don't warp like the metallic or ceramic clutches over 450rwkw. I have one in both of my cars -R32 running over 500rwkw and one in my R33 GTR with 330rwkw. You put a carbon triple behind anything with under 400rwkw and it'll take a very very long time to kill it. The giken is a good clutch but absolutely nothing compares to a carbon triple - nothing.

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
