That, and I'm all set with spending nearly $600 for a USED clutch. Buying a used clutch is like buying a used pair of sneakers...

Looks like the mounting towers on the flywheel can be removed. I don't know if a machine shop could resurface those parts. The clutch media might be the big problem..

twin unsprung discs? no thank you... I don't think too many people are making THAT much power in their CA's.... besides that shock has to be absorbed somewhere and your transmission will prolly be the new bearer of all that... unless you have a strengthened gearset I'd say prolly not. What about crankwalk? The ca has a bit of a big end problem, I'd think a clutch like that would exacerbate it. Finally, he says its ca18 then says its the most aggressive clutch made for the RB... is he just using that as a comparison or what?

i think some RB's use the same 255 clutch set, i sold a friend my old CA dampered clutch set up and he used everything.. i dont know if he changed the starter...

but i think the OS GIken TS2BD is the smae part number for the RB20/25 and CA18 and the RN14 Pulsar GTi-R SR20DET..

there are local shops here that have re-surfaced used twin disk clutch kits from JDM used engiens and vehicles lucky poeple down ehre get...

BUT i think the stock clutch material thickness is usually 4-5mm and this one got 4mm left and it looks in pretty good condition and once the flywheel can be resurfaced, i wouldnt be too afriad of trying it.

if i was in the US and it wouldnt gost so much to ship it here, i would probably buy it
