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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
