thats a bit xtreme haha

go os triple plate unsprung, one of the best clutches i have driven with :)

i didnt even have my clutch booster working and it was fairly light under foot and driveable

plus its designed to take decent hp, ive heard quad plates are also very good, but with gt-ss thats getting a little carried away

ive never seen a good extreem clutch.

id be going for a OS as i like the light weight design of them. but ive heard you can get similar stuff from excedy now.

Merli my personal advice would be to go for an ATS twin plate carbon clutch I use these in my missus R32GTR(305awkw) daily driver and my R33GTR and have one that will be going into the R33 when i do the getrag conversion. They are a great clutch i cant reccomend them highly enough once you use one you will never go back to any other brand this is just based on my personal experiance I have used OS, excedy, Nismo and would rate that ATS much better than all of them.

DJRIFT - Absolutely... But to be honest, I thought it would last longer...

daz - Mmmm... carbon :( I'll have to see what the budget stretches to... I've had a pretty fearsome spending spree lately :D

i drove a few gtr's in my time and the ones with carbon clutches were by far the best.. (most were just quick drives from the docks to the warehouse)

i wish i had a choice when it came to mine, but after 3 different clutches one being an Ats carbon... i ended up with an Os triple for a jza80 supra fitted.. :D

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
