what clutch to handle 600rwhp ?
I have the hks gmax twin plate clutch but it has 20,000 miles on it and I guess the pressure has lost it clamping force has it no longer can handle the power. I been advised by a Nissan skyline tuner that they have these clutches cannot cope with skylines producing 500bhp.
What is the next best option to go with?
Do I really need to go triple plate for this power level?
Any of you guy's running over 550 rwhp what clutch you using?

I don't want to got triple plate unless I have to as I use the car 3-4 times a week on the road. The hks g max twin plate is rated for a max of 600 bhp @flywheel but when clamping force is degraded due to wear it struggles at 500bhp @flywheel.

I now have a stock flywheel and it's a little better.

Either that or your definition is "streetable" is not like most of us!
