Hey guys, I've been trying to find some solid answers and trying searching but answers to vary. I'm needing a clutch to handle 600kw @ the wheels with street driving being the #1 priority. From the forums I've seem Jim Berry seem to be popular but I can't find any contact info him, Me being from Canada I would need to email or maybe a facebook page. I've also read decent things about NPC.

 

Anyways looking for some recommendations on what clutches you guys are running with 600+ kw that are some what friendly on the street.

Mate I’m in the same boat as you, I called around a few places (in Australia) and my experience is, I found Direct Clutch service in Queensland to be the best to deal with, they took time to talk to me about what I wanted and what I was going to use the car for and then gave me a couple of options on clutch and explained to me the difference between the clutches they recommended.
Look them up, you should be able to email them.

I was also reading about them! I seen they had a few different options online. Which one did you end up going with?

I called around when I was chasing a 500kw clutch, direct and NPC were very helpful but pricing is pretty high. Ended up with an ATS carbon twin for a good price which drives suuuuper nice and shifts really quick due to such light plates (200g each). I'd recommend their triple for 600kw if you're not going to drag launch it much, otherwise one of the Aussie options will cop a beating for drag  applications. Lots of DCS/npc clutches in big power cars.

Thanks for the reply, I got a-hold of DCS/ NPS both very knowledgeable but also share different opinions in some aspects. I think I will go with the DCS but there clutch is un-sprung so I imagine it will chatter quite a bit. How is the ATS twin for chatter when you disengage the clutch?

I came from a coppermix which has separation springs and clutch straps for the centre plates so it was silent, but definately won't hold 600kw. the straps become a weak point on really high power cars so you won't find them on 600kw clutches.

the ATS definitely jingles and chatters with the clutch pressed, its a lot quieter than the bnr34 getrag rattle though. main benefit is it is super smooth engagement even with a solid un-sprung centre. but if you drag launch them badly the carbon plates transfer a shitload of heat to the metal floaters and warp them.

not sure how it compares to the DCS/NPC ones volume wise. at 600kw any clutch is going to be of a construction that have chattering floating plates.

I haven’t bought yet but I like the sounds of their street clutch, I want the car to drive nice and I don’t intend on limiter launching.

Had an Os giken triple plate  for a fair number of years. Not difficult at all, although takes a few starts/stops to get used to it on day 1. Then it rattles when clutch in like any heavy duty multi plate clutch does when stationary. Know the take up point and all is sweet.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
