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.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
