    R32 GTR standard clutch, ACT Heavy Duty 6 puck is great, as is XTD stage 3 6 puck, These 3 are budget options.... if you want to spent a little more the ORC or EXeedy twin plate will be more than man enough

    i'm @ 400bhp and i have a exedy twin plate clutch fitted which is fine and i'm looking to move upto 500bhp and i've ben assured by abbey that the clutch will be fine. but the car does drive very different the bite is harsh and to start off with you will stall alot until you get used to it also it sounds noisey and clatters alot which again takes some time to get used to. otherwise its brilliant.

    Twin plate.... Entertaining if your a crap driver. I love watching MOT testers trying to get it on the ramp.

    I had an Exedy organic single plate in my GTT when it was around 500bhp. The bite was just the same as a standard clutch, but it was slightly heavier to push down. Definetely preferable to a rattly twin plate.
