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

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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
