 Also my comment is based along with the other componants, it is overall a good stage to get to. Next stage would be complete engine internals,Bigger turbo still, 444 or larger injectors and with all that would have to come a paddle plate.

I'm going to use an organic clutch (RPS Max Street) for over 350bhp, there's no need to use a paddle on a road car really, all you'll do is damage your flywheel and clutch cover, you have to slip a clutch for driving in traffic and slipping a sintered metal puk on a steel flywheel eats at the surface like you wouldn't believe. i got through a clutch plate cover and flywheel in 3k.

 )  Still, they transmit really well, so I'd not go back to normal if I can help it.... ...having said that, I think that a lot of my pulling away problems are from the gearing being very long in conjunction with the Z31 diff's final drive (i.e. 55-60mph in first, 100-ish in second, 135-ish in third), etc... great for top speed, but awful for pull-off!)... Still, I'll be able to comment on this fully once my car has been "S13Eater'd", as he's kindly sorting me out a reconditioned master clutch cylinder, as mine if leaking (The slave cylinder was originally leaking, so I doubt the clutch has ever been running 100% as of yet (was slipping like an absolute b*stard at JAE, before Pukka and Shaun bled it, which fixed it temporarily)... - Once again, cheers guys!

How much do those clutches go for Danny? And where from. I had not heard of them before.

SRB are the distributor, and driftworks sell them too I've fitted loads of them now. I was an RPS dealer when trading full time. The s14 RPS wass one of the most user friendly and high torque handling organic clutches going, until I insisted on an s13 version being made. it took 6 months or persuading, sending bits off, doing trial fits with SRB until we had an oranic clutch capable of handling 475ft/lbs or torque
I've actually been looking at the posibility recently of fitting a KA24 flywheel to an ET. there are loads on american ebay for very small amounts of money, and there are plenty of KA24 clutches going including RPS sport and MAX ranges

Update:
Ok i had 5 thou taken off the head in total today, after the first 2 thou is became visible and confirmed where id suspected the gasket had blown, was around the water jackets between cylinders 3&4. Another 3 thou done the job to leave a nice shiny new surface  I removed the valves and seals and bathed the head in a top secret potion ( hot water and washing powder ) Its come up like new and was rinsed thouroughly after then dried and covered in wd40.Im awaiting the head gasket set now so will comence putting it back together once this arrives. Ive got the plenum, fuel rail and omex on the way and shortly to follow will be the intercooler, so i can start taking out the std ecu and loom. Il post some pics tomorow as i normally like to show my progress
