Yea i told the guy on the phone (Garreth i think it was) that i wanted something that would handle 300 odd rwkw, a little extra abuse than the usual HD clutch, and i didnt care about driveability. This was the one he recommended..

[ECR-033]

Had mine in for about 1000kms and love it. went to a track day last week and have a drag day at the end of the month. Do get chirps taking off sometimes if im at a complete stop, if i have a slight roll its nice and smooth taking off.

Clutch in, so far so good. Its acting like a twin plate at the moment, cant take off without spinning the wheels lol. The pedal is lighter somehow than the old excedy cushion button, which is awsome since the NPC carbotic is a much tougher clutch.

Only thing was the spigot bush that came with the NPC was 1mm thicker in ID so had to source another one.

Well 2 weeks of 360kw and my Excedy Cushion button shat itself so I'll call NPC and see what they recommend for 400kw as that's my next stop lolz

was it the pink pressure plate Exedy or the silver plate? saying that the NPC one is crazy good, so good I feel sorry for my gearbox LOL

[Hadouken]

For 400kw they will recommend a twin plate

It was that long ago i cant remember.... It hasnt done many KM's but its been in there a while... i think it was pink, i know the plate was pink anyway....

Ghey!

I don't know why they would. Our NPC single plate 10" clutches are both holding 400-450rwkw happily for over a year now. Drag events, circuit racing. No problems.

We rate them up to 600whp before we suggest a twin plate is necessary

[Hadouken]

Ah. I have that npc 10", but i swear the guy said it will hold up to 400kw and after that a twin plate is recommended. Maybe i miss heard.

Yep, the pink ones are made here, they're pretty much just modified factory spec pressure plates as Jim Berry told me, he goes the Silver ones are from Japan and they're suppose to be more serious.

I've had the Silver plate before from a R32 GT-R with a 4-Puk Ceramic, did me well for over 1 years till I sold the car, wonder if it's still going strong with the 3rd owner.

It's possible that slight arse covering is being done there. Maybe they don't want to say they can do something and then have one guy prove them wrong.400wkw is getting close to where we've tested them up to so I'm guessing that would be why they would say that

This is what i want to hear!

I'm referring to the 5puk button variety btw. The organic we don't really push past 300rwkw

Yep just spoke to them about it, with modification he is confident it will hold the 400rwkw...... BUT it'll be a little pigish to drive daily anyone using one of these in a daily?

[Hadouken]

I drive the npc 10" carbotic every day. Its a pig for the first 10min and then its normal

[zebra]

I lived with a Cranky OS Giken Comp twin plate for years

I prefer it to any friendly clutches tbh

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hmmm thanks guys, will research all options but the guys at NPC seem to be the best in terms of knowledge etc so far

The button can be modified to hold 400kw so that should do!

I use mine every 3rd night? not too bad. I just drop it at around 1700rpm, I don't bother driving it smooth (clutch will last longer). Up the car park ramp at my gym is gold, there's a speed hump midway up. I usually just handbrake then chirp it over, people think I am retarded.
