I have been searching for a clutch that ticks all the box's.

 

I found RPS make these for the supra - https://www.realstreetperformance.com/rps-carbon-triple-disc-carbon-9-3-inch-steel-flywheel-2jz-gte-supra-getrag-v160.html

 

Big HP

Streetable

NO RATTLES

Getrag friendly

Light / stock pedal.

Pull Type.

 

I have spoken to real street and they said they would be interested in collaborating with RPS to make a BNR34 version if we have 5+ orders.

I might be dreaming but would there be others here interested in such an item ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't seem that impressive for a carbon on carbon and actually seems like a big backwards step comparing to the ATS - riveted carbon facings to metal plates and no floating centre hub.

You realise this is a carbon button plate clutch (carbon pads fixed to steel plate) vs an ATS or Exedy true carbon plate clutch ? A complete carbon friction plate wears down much thinner, wear flat and don't warp, but also much more expensive by design.

Which of these is the most important ? Some compromises need to be made somewhere, as people getting big big HP behind a Getrag switch away from Dual mass flywheels and are not concerned with multiplate disengagement rattle.

Personally if it were me and I had to have a really light clutch, be street friendly and hold big power behind a Getrag I would just ditch the dual mass flywheel, ditch pull actuation, accept some multiplate rattle and use a ATS spec II carbon triple. This is the lightest pedal you'll get from a clutch that can hold 1000whp+ depending on pressure plate clamping force.

If the dual mass flywheel and rattle is a concern the ATS silent carbon twin as you were looking into, limited to 700whp. Ticks all boxes except is a push type and doesn't come with flywheel.

If a light pull type at over 700whp is a must then the ATS dual action carbon twin or triple. But again, no dual mass flywheel and has clutch disengagement rattle.

All true carbon friction plates, floating centre hub, relatively light pedal and streetable but does mean expensive.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
