hi, i own an R32 gtr 92 model, its got stock internals, stock gear box, bout to have 2 Garret 350hp roller bearing turbos, APEXi power fc and a few other minor mods. just wanting some feed back on the clutches. what are the stock 1s like? Approx what power can they handle? If i put a twin plate or even heavy duty clutch in will the gear box hold up to the extra pressure? And does any1 know of any other genuine Tommy Kiara gtr's in aus?

Hey mate, i have a 33 GTR which is kinda of relative, its seen its fair share of drag meets with a Daiken Twin Plate Rated at 750hp and the gearbox is holding up fine, im currently making about 340hp at all 4, i fried my stock one after a week and the car was still relatively stock, i also have about 4 friends with GTR's that all cooked stock clutches with relatively stock cars in less than a few months.

Hi tommy boy is that the green one from street machine or another one?

Anyhow a standard clutch won't hold long at all especially with those mods. I put in a NISMO twin plate (sprung centre) and its fantastic.

Mine came with the badge and a couple of Tommy things but I wasn't even aware they did a R32?

yeah morgs it is the green 1 from street machines, i bought it private of the guy who bought it from them though. and yeah its genuine tommy as far as i know, a mate (who know a fair bit about them) told me that they made about 250 tommy r32's. most of them went to the tracks in japan though, and as far as i know there is only about 15 tommy 32's in aus. Does any 1 know of what was done to them exactly? ive been told , mine may a 2.8l hks bottom end it, dunno if its true though i only know of the cosmetic stuff.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
