What launch technique do i employ to lay down quick 60's? Ride or dump?

330awkw will be my future plans, what clutch is everyone using for street using with this sort of power?

I know the excedy is great, but which model excedy? Needs to be light and strong

OS GIKEN twin plate.

HARD slip from about 5000revs.

Use something cerametalic with a button face and a decent clamp load.

I have faith in the exedy HD 5 button, some US manufacturers make 6 button discs which you can track down sepperately if you wish.

I have also seen/used an extreme motorsport kit on an SR20 RWD which had a good clamp load and a 6 button disc. I am fairly sure they are pricier than the exedy though.

Dial up a few rpm, hold the handbrake so you dont roll out of the staging lights, get the clutch to grab point, dial in a few more rpm 6k ish then feed out the clutch while you feed in the power as you drop the handbrake. A little slip on the line will get you out of the hole ALOT quicker.

OR limmiter bash and dump the clutch for AWD fury.... ha ha ha

Your choice.

If your going for a time, don't get to conserned about the tree, just go when you want to go. If you want to beat the v8 next to you, drop the clutch on the last red light to leave that sucker at the line.

Have fun

Justin.

im using nismo coppermix twin plate, really good for the street

Budget would be around $1000

well that rules out most of them, and deffinately rules out any twin plate.

budget and GTR :( get what you pay for, and launching a GTR puts a lot of stress and wear on the clutch.

I think you need to double that budget..

jim berry?

got one for my last GTR R33 400rwhp ended up costing about $1500 including second hand standard flywheel supplied & machined, clutch with 4200lbs clamp, 2 weeks later exploded taking out the gearbox. Got another and that was a shuddery pig and didn't last after a few events and launches.

Some people rave about them but that was my experience, now I go with quality multi plates designed for the power. not the standard GTR clutch with a bit more clamp?

this is from last hights outing. r33 gtr, currently at 340whp (god i need to replace those cooler hoses >.<) JIM BERRY full monty, 5100 clamp, nice clutch ;)

reaction time of 0.595

60ft time of 1.683

1/8 et of 7.81

1/4 et of 12.484

181.633kph

Driving style was simple, gently ease the throttle to 7700rpm, watch tree, dump clutch, hang on :(

bit disapointed my cooler pipes hadnt shown up before the meet but hey, thats what happens sometimes. next meet i hope to be able to turn ze pressure up and get a retune back to 400+whp and get my 11 slip :)

Cheers, allan

in the forsale section has OS giken 3SC triple plate $3000+ worth of clutch done 3000km + 5 hours dyno for $1000.

probably over kill for your application, but a quality clutch--bargain

Contact Ben on 0401 779 905 for any other questions

That's my contact above and still for sale - OS Giken R3C with correct bearing and carrier. To be brutally honest I'll never, ever, EVER use anything but a carbon triple plate now. ATS (which are the xtreme clutches) clutches drive like stock (very progressive) and don't warp like the metallic or ceramic clutches over 450rwkw. I have one in both of my cars -R32 running over 500rwkw and one in my R33 GTR with 330rwkw. You put a carbon triple behind anything with under 400rwkw and it'll take a very very long time to kill it. The giken is a good clutch but absolutely nothing compares to a carbon triple - nothing.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
