just wondering what type of clutch would i be worth getting for my soon to be 350-400hp 1j? its running the w58 box. want some thing that's gonna be fairly comfortable to drive city,traffic lights ect? its just for street use maybe the odd drag strip ect.

Don't you have an OS Giken Twin Plate already?

another car

and that's behind a r154. would like something not so aggressive for this time round if possible lol

I see...

Well if the other car is pretty well stock I'd steal the OS Giken twin plate out of that for the W58 300/400HP job

Personally I liked my OS Giken twin...

300/400HP is a bit, but you can prbly get away with a HD pressure plate and a 5puck (or similar)....

I've been running the Exedy HD behind the 1J in my JZA80 for the past 12 or so months holding up fine, very easy on the foot. not sure how it would go up around the 400 mark though.

Hi Wilbo,

Currently I've mated 3sgte engine with w58 box. I would like to purchase lightweight flywheel and clutch.
So should I buy 3sgte's flywheel and clutch or the supra's flywheel and clutch ?

Please advice. Thanks.

I suspect you'll want the 3sgte flywheel and clutch, but not knowing what your exact setup is I can't tell you.

The supra flywheel won't bolt to a 3sgte tho

this would be good to know what you decide to use.. as im currently doing this conversion atm..

i was thinking about getting a 5 puk metal plate clutch and something like a 3000pound pressure plate, held up in my skyline awesome and had a stiff enuf pedal feel to drive it daily

give direct clutch in queensland a call, they always recommend me stuff that works, just tell em what you have and what you want to do with it and they will sell you the right thing, pretty knowledgable about toyota stuff too
