Stuart H Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi all, As per title I am searching for a new clutch for my tt Z. Currently the torque figure is at 400ft/lbs and 464 BHP at the fly wheel. The winter plans are: ramp the torque up to 500ft/lbs with around 550Bhp. Prior to that I need to replace the tired oem clutch. I am planing to use the Z on the track but mainly it gets me to work and back. For that reason I would like to stick with the single plate clutch. Any suggestions/ recomendations are welcome. Thank very much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart H Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Oh, The Z was made in 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Is it a fully forged built block? Carbonetics is the way to go for big power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart H Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes cossy internals fully forged Is it the twin plate that you are suggesting? Carbonetics is a bit hard to get hold of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes cossy internals fully forged Is it the twin plate that you are suggesting? Carbonetics is a bit hard to get hold of these days. I'm sure I saw one on my350z last night but might be a triple plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Keyser sourced one through Tarmac I'm sure Nice work on engine mate! Who built it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I run with the ATS Carbonetic twin plate on my TT 350 Roadster I also supplied and fitted an OS Giken twin plate to a 650bhp TT 350 yesterday and that is also a decent bit of kit Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart H Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 So using a twin plate clutch will not affect the road/ traffic drive ability in the low RPM range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I run the Carbonetic twin plate as well as Neil said I got mine from Tarmac I'm still getting used to mine - it was an on off switch when I first had it Getting better as I get used to it and/or it beds in but I find it a bit more work to stay smooth in traffic - I don't really drive her in town and I have a few other things against me at slow speeds (like the rear diff) It rattles more than my JWT used to as well. On track and open road its awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart H Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sounds good, thank you for your priceless advice. They go for around 1800gbp, I have got some saving to do . Many thanks, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sounds good, thank you for your priceless advice. They go for around 1800gbp, I have got some saving to do . Many thanks, Stuart I'm sure I can do it a bit cheaper than that bud I have other options in the twin plates such as Spec and competition clutches. Give me a shout if I can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart H Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thank you for your help. I think I will go with the twin Carbonetics. I will be in touch soonish. Regards, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
