Hi all, this is my VE r8. Bought it new in 2009. So far it’s had a sunroof installed. Hurricane duel 3 inch exhaust. Harrop 2300 blower , Npc clutch. Gts wheels , senator boot spoiler , 5% window tint and that’s about it really

Enough to kill clutches. Only done 37,000 Klm & just put in my 3rd clutch. Turbo 400 conversion next time!

T400 will be the best thing you do to the car.

What clutches are your putting in it? Mates use a twin plate Mantic in his 560rwkw ride. It’s been perfect.

I have been using the gm 427 clutch pressure plate and flywheel for 70k no zero issues.

Stock clutch got cooked at wsid so I put in a npc single plate heavy duty as recommended by them. Took it to wsid & cooked that one too so replaced it with the same again. Not going back to the drag strip from now on.

I sold my Vk to do the th400 conversion but got talked out of it. Having no overdrive is a big sacrifice plus having no compression braking means chewing through the brakes a lot quicker & at close to $100o a corner for them that turned me off too. I should of just done it but I’ve spent the money I got from the Vk on another clutch, rip shifter & trutrac so I’ll have to save up again now.

Small update. Just had the bearings replaced in the blower & added a rear gilmer drive whilst it was off the car.

4l80e conversion is on the way. Have ordered jakes performance stage 3 transmission, triple disk torque converter, single piece 3.5 inch alloy tail shaft. F.a.s.t stand alone transmission controller, tci flex plate, lokkar shifter, pwr cooler & custom crossmember. Just waiting for it to arrive from the states then the fun begins!
