RB20 powered.

and if stallion rode the shit outta that car, then they should pay for the new gearbox i would say!!!

BTW - you can use a ca18det gearbox and transfer your RB bellhousing onto it!

If you get a button clutch plate, make sure it has 6 or more buttons on a side. I fitted one with 4 on a side, and it slips, even with heavy duty presure plate. Think the presure surface area is to small. Running about 260kw , 450nm.

smaller surface area and same force will equal greater pressure. thats why race clutches have 4 pucks and street 6 - i assume?

I got hooked up with Mike at the Jhb factory, he is building on demand and the 6 pad plate plus pressure plate works me out R1500, i have spoken to people who use the stuff and they give the thumbs up, i think it'll be good for 500HP.
