mrb Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) well shes had a slipping clutch pretty much since i brought her but its got progressivly worse so bit the bulet and got a new clutch. already fittted new straight though stainless exhaust and decen filter and waiting for a plennum spacer to arrive managed to get a twin plate competition clutch inc lightened one piece fly and release bearing. ordered a quick shift at the same time my question is i got the twin because i have future powerplans (do i turbo or supercharge) but but but. on my skyline i have fitted an os gilken tripple plate clutch because it has 1075 bhp but the clutch was very hard so i had to get an uprated master cylinder to help with the problem. will i need to do this with the 350 or will a twin be drivable with no other mods Edited December 8, 2013 by mrb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrb Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 yeah but its paddle and has red anodised cover final power aim will be around 500rwp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Good choice of clutch. The only thing you may have issues with is the clutch fork pivot ball which have been known to fail when an uprated clutch is fitted. We sell an uprated one should you require. Also a good mod is to fit a braided clutch line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nearly £1,500 for a clutch..cant wait for the rest of your mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Only 500? Bit overkill unless it's purely track use, but it's your leg muscles I guess... From a technical point, Clark Motorsport are bang on as usual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) my skyline started as a 500bhp planned track toy then hit double that. im planning on building with a haltec platnum ecu as ive always used haltec wat i cant decide is turbo or supercharger the liner is 3ltr straight 6 turbo but i fancy a supercharger never had one yeah i was going to get my clutch from clarke but then saw this got offerd a deal i would have been daft not to take Edited December 8, 2013 by mrb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamN Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Also interested in the skyline! That's a lot of money to spend on a clutch (despite being awesome), that's pretty much a third of what I paid for my Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That Skyline sounds amazing mrb but looks like it needs a fair bit of work to finish. Maybe start a build thread in "other cars" as I'm sure people would be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) yeah it was pretty before this theres a pic in my introdution post before the currant mutilation lol but decided to make it wider to fit bigger tyres underneath as traction was a bitch and lighten it more cutting metal from arches frp doors carbon bonnet and boot allie boit floor and firewall. and with all that going on it was prime time to strip it right back engine dropped everything and refresh everything and get the power up a bit more. shes my little green piggy bank as the wife calls it lol this pic is before this current revamp Edited December 9, 2013 by mrb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
