Hey all jsut did some upgrades to the car i got a sports organic clutch installed about 5 months ago afta my orignal one died.. when i had basically a stock car.. Now i have a car that should be pushing out around 300hp at the wheels and my clutch doesen't seem to b able to handle the power.. always gets stuck

I dont take it easy on my clutch either constantly doing fishs's into 2nd and 3rd and jsut driving it hard dont do burnouts but do do the occasinal launch of the line..

just wondering what clutch u would reccomend i was going 4 a button clutch but the mechanic told me it will most prob die as well so he says think about a twin plate one...

So any suggestions would be great thanks dont want to go for more money then i need 2

I'm running a OS Giken twin plate with OS lightened flywheel, great response from the clutch, bites really hard and goes hard. But it is not yer friendliest clutch in congestions....i reckon a Ogura single clutch is good for up to around 400hp. BT revolution imports the ORC clutches, you could check with them if you are interested. I heard Nick's clutches can customise clutches to individual needs too.

Ive tried a couple.. originally a OS Giken triple plate undampered which came with it which was way too harsh for street for me.. Then went to one of them extreme heavy duty 9puks which lasted next to no time and now a os giken dampered TS2BD twin plate which is perfect but only rated to 480hp

Dude, just go see Jim berry @ RaceClutch, he'll make whatever you want.

Spot on! My 3500lb carbon clutch is bitey as, but feels almost standard.

To get his number just google his name. If you get Italia spares, its the same place.

HKS Twin plate (carbon)..works a treat, easy to use and it wont slip! I have used it in conditions in excess or 400hp with no problems. Although if your a psyco and never want it to slip I have also got a HKS triple plate (circut) clutch that has been used in the car, dont even think of slipping it though..it doesnt happen!

A 4 button will not let go. Talk to the guys at Nicks Clutch Service in Archerfield.

A 4 puk with a 2800lbs pressure plate will handle over 400rwkw.

Sure twin plates are good but too much wear and tear on all of the other gear (pedals, hydraulics).

The same can be said for the button combo too but it's area of destruction is driveline. - Hookup is friggin unbelievable though.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
