Howdy fellas, I'm looking for some advice and opinions on a clutch upgrade as I have been researching and it seems that most are either for lesser power or I cannot get any solid information for ie: price, best place to buy, etc. So basically the car is making 300rwkw and the clutch is slipping really bad(even now that it's in rwd), the car is also now rolling in gear with the clutch in.

Now the tricky decision that we could use some experienced advice with is that the turbo's on the car are capable of over 500kw/700ps/690hp and it's only the lack of internals keeping it at 300 for now. The internals are planned within the next year god willing but may get put off for another due to some other things coming up. From what I have been reading a twin plate seems to be a minimum requirement for the current power to take the abuse and there seems to be a few options here but it also seems that twins are on the limit of the planned upgrades after the clutch and a triple may be on the cards.

I'm kinda stumped though as I am pretty sure i read that Jim Berry can make single or twin-plate setups(can't remember which) to handle 500kw and vaguely remember a couple of other mentions about NPC and others. I also expect numerous other parts will break after fitting a new clutch from others' experiences here, i'm just hoping that the clutch will not be on that list for a long time even with the future power upgrades in the next year or two.

Thanks guys, that's quite reassuring Piggaz. Have apparently been quoted 2700 for a HKS twin jobby, don't even know if that's installation included. Where in Sydney or the Central Coast(located) would be a good place to start for good pricing and service/help etc?

if you're not going to be making silly numbers a NPC Clutch is fine, they use a larger pressure plate so you don't need to upgrade your pivot and/or your slave.

Doug from NPC tells me a 10" Carbotic clutch will hold 400 rwkWs without issue (that's what I'm using now on a stock powered R33 LOL)

My pedal feel is like a stock clutch, but however bites like a munted raver.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
