Mine died at about 230rwhp, but each car is slightly different, my friends is still going at 270rwhp.

I have a twin-plate and think it's great, but most go for 9-puck ceramic clutches, all in for around $800.

hi denham,

mine did 154rwkw with just 3" full exhaust only @ 11psi.

auto ECU was the prob, it dips the power at the shift point, thinking it's still an auto, so I'm looking for a stock manual ECU as powerFC is still too dear right now...

At 203rwkw my stock clutch was "shagged". Got an organic sports clutch fitted, do a search for 'daiken organic sports clutch' and you should fine my big thread about it.

I think my twin plate is getting 'shagged' too. Just plain abuse.

Jet, The simple answer is there is not specific power when the clutch will go, but whenever you power the car up expect to replace the clutch:D

Im getting a DAIKIN R 5028 NHD installed on Monday for $900.

Are these good clutches?

Is this a good price?

Ne1 here had one of these?

[Jet]

i got quoted for 6 finger clutch for about 900 as well.

they have to machine the flywheel. .

its a pretty expensive upgrade

what about the gearbox? does more power makes the gearbox wear out faster?

does a better clutch reduce the wear of the gearbox?

I heard that DAIKIN are excellent, haven't had personal experience though.

My Daikin Organic Sports Clutch is nice, if you want a good price send an email to Kevin at GavSports in Mt Druitt (Western Sydney) to [email protected]

Dont worry too much about the drive line on an R33 skyline gtst. They are pretty tough. R32 arent quite so robust though (gearbox)

If something on the driveline goes due to extra hp, and you upgrade it to handle the increased power - that extra power will then look for the next weakest link until it gets to the ground. More of a problem for 4WD because it is easier to light up 2 wheels instead of 4 - so more strain on the driveline.

If you are really worried, get shit tyres with no grip:p ...hehe cracked my self up
