Clutch Dilemma Need Help, Searched Everywhere!

[nsta]

Hey guys, searched everywhere but still cnt find out what clutch will best suit my application.

Im going to do a conversion soon from auto to manual r33 rb25det, im already sold on a ogura 4.8kg light flywheel.

Im looking into buying a clutch that will hold 250-300rwkw as thats what im aiming for.Car will mainly be for the street, and the occasional drag strip, will try and do alot of curcuit work though if i can, drifting probably not.

Im in new zealand, is there any way of getting hold of the clutch guru thats in the sticky???

thanks

cant really go past a os-giken one. they are cheap to rebuild and buy.

but a good "heavy duty" single plate would be suficant. :lol:

how much for a os-giken one mate?sorry i dont know whether to go single or twin plate....i need some serious help, ive searched and no the differences, though for my application im a bit sceptical as to which one i should buy.

if you gonna give it heaps id go a twin plate. like a ts2bd. 480hp one. comes with the flywheel etc.

if no then a generic heavy duty organic single plat. with a 1 tone pressure plate will sufice

Yeah, there is. Ring him... Just add all the area codes on to it. He has sent clutchs around the world, if you ask him he is sure to tell the story. He will probably recomend a stock fly wheel tho. They tend to be softer, so are more bity.

cool ill keep that in mind:), i'll eventually get to 250rwkw im hoping by the end of year, would it be best to plan ahead and get a twinplate now?, or will single plate do even for the power im aiming for in the future?just heard that twins are hard to get used to at the start?
