I had this same dillema

Question - how much power are you planning to put out?

Question 2 - how much money do you want to spend?

Personally I planned to put out about 300 4wkw. I could only really choose between a ceramic button puk clutch or a twin plate+. I didnt have the money to buy a twin plate, so i bought a custom made ceramic cushioned button clutch with 9 puks from UAS. Cost me $695. It holds the power, but I cant tell you how long it will last

You forgot about question 3) have you used the search function?

There have been clutch threads started once a week since forever relating to all types of cars.

In my opinion for an rb20 id be looking at a decent single plate setup, probably a 9puck with an ugraded pressure plate and retain the stock flywheel. I am running a 9 puck with 1060kg pressure plate behind an rb25det and it is easy to drive and bites when it has to.

i agree, a little more info as to how much power you have or will have?

i have about 240+rwkw, and im using an exedy heavy duty clutch, it seems to hold well though when it goes im gonna go for a ceramic button kit, say a 6 puk.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
