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?

 

have you looked into the multi-disc Exedy or Tilton clutches?

 

ACT 6 Puck

 

I have been told that the hks clutches are Tilton?
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.

 

Is that what you run Lupe? If so do you use it with stock flywheel?

 

I used to use it with a 9lb flywheel and it was manageable, it just takes some getting used to.

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

 

cool I think i'll give it a go.

 

I also have an ACT 6 puck with HD PP and a stock Flywheel. It is EASY to drive...

 

look in to the RPS turbo clutch. i hear that its one bad mother fuc%$#. CARBON AND CARBON

 

I read somewhere that the carbon stuff needs a good burn out for it to work well. I guess that's ok on the strip but not as ideal on the road.

 

os giken triple clutch setup and flywheel(the one with the anodized yellow clutch cover)its wonderful for the street,i use to drive my bridgeported every day 25 miles to work and it was really easy to drive

 

I find this hard to believe.
Either that or your definition is "streetable" is not like most of us!
