Finally got a company car so my r32 gts-t is about to become a weekender

Recently the clutch has let go so need some ideas what to put In.

My car has an rb25det conversion and is tuned by Toshi makes around the 250kw mark.

Looking to set up for drift and circuit.

Was thinking of Putin a 6 puck solid clutch in with an extra heady duty pressure plate.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers wortho

I have a solid ceramic twin plate in my 32 daily, It's not not as bad as people say, but it is a pain to drive in car parks... the ones with slopes and what not.

Out in the twisties it's much better than my old organic clutch. but this is probably due to the flywheel being like 3 kg lighter

If I were to choose again I would go one of those NPC organic single plates that everyone raves about.

Yeah Im fairly sure they do just the twin plate has a softer pedal feel. Although you aren't really supposed to ride them since the plates will wear unevenly.

Also depends on what kind of friction plate cause you can get sprung or solid centre, cushioned or solid puk, organic or ceramic etc

I have a solid puk clutch, very off/on but not that bad that I can't do the tight 3 point turn and clutch slip to get in and out of the garage. I reckon it has been hard on the driveline though, gearbox and diff both a bit noisy now (car is drifted / tracked so may just be normal wear).

    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
