For anyone reading and thinking of getting a competition clutch, go Google Competition Clutch Explode, Competition Clutch Problems, issues etc.

If you're on a budget and poor like most of us, get a NPC 10" Carbotic clutch. Pedal effort is softer than a stock clutch and there's about 1.7 to 1.8 tonnes of clamping force. Yes they may be Exedy parts in those clutches but they're completely different to your standard Exedy Sports range clutches.

If you have coin go Nismo Twin

Are there list prices anywhere or do you just call them direct?

I think golebys website has prices, used to anyway. For your application a single organic npc will do the job. Unless your planning to go for 350-400rwkw. My single npc is handling 310 easily and has copped plenty of abuse, still feels perfect other than a noisy thrust bearing. I would suggest using a genuine nissan thrust bearing rather than the npc supplied one.

I also have the NPC 10" clutch with NPC's lightened steel flywheel - I was very dubious of the benefit of a lightened flywheel - after all, the gearbox/diff/wheels hang off it...

...well it made a significant difference in 1st and 2nd...I hadn't factored in the gearing available at "the front end" of the gearbox - now I understand..

NPC was an easy choice for me, as they have a great reputation and are based in Brisbane, Australia like me...but the OP @HCD_Velcra is in Germany...

... @HCD_Velcra you guys have crazy tune up shops that surely can recommend an appropriate locally available clutch for 400HP - if not, Nismo twin plate:14_relaxed:

cheers

Mike

PS - typically Nismo stuff is very good, it's not just a label - if you lived over here then I'd recommend NPC

PPS - as others have said, your 400HP target is at the limit of organic clutches - once you move to other materials the take-up/feel moves towards how a light switch operates (ie on/off). My NPC organic clutch holds 315hp no problem, and the takeup feels like a normal car. I'm sure you can source similar in Germany.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
