The 7.25 inch twin plate racing clutch uses two 185 mm ceramic discs to nearly double the friction surface area of a single-disc unit, without increasing the overall diameter. That means your Nissan Patrol TB48DE clutch upgrade handles serious torque in a compact package that drops into the factory bellhousing. it leaves generous headroom over the 420 Nm stock output — ideal for turbo, supercharged and stroker builds pushing well past 600 hp.
Both discs use a competition-grade sintered cermet compound that holds a stable friction coefficient from cold starts to sustained high-temperature operation.Repeated launches,dune climbs and rock-crawl slip generate heat that destroys organic discs; this double plate ceramic clutch resists fade and glazing where OE parts fail.wear life is extended dramatically,making it a true motorsport clutch for rally raid, hill climb and desert racing rather than a street-only compromise.
A lightweight flywheel and reduced-mass disc assembly cut rotational inertia by as much as 40% versus a same-capacity single-plate clutch. The engine revs more freely, throttle response sharpens, and gearbox synchroniser load drops — so shifts are quicker and the drivetrain lasts longer. For a 2.5-tonne Patrol that needs instant torque on a sandy incline, this 185mm racing clutch delivers the response that heavy steel assemblies simply cannot match.
Engineered specifically for the Nissan Patrol Y61 4.8L TB48DE and 4.5L TB45, this kit is a true bolt-on upgrade — no machining, no adapter plates, no custom hydraulics. The kit ships complete with top floater, middle plate, twin clutch discs, clutch cover, flywheel and alignment tool.
Every unit is clamp-load tested and dynamically computer-balanced before leaving the factory,
and thermal-cycle validation and ISO-aligned inspection on every batch, we supply the same 185mm twin plate racing clutch platform trusted by professional teams — not a re-boxed street part.
The most common real-world case: a Patrol with supporting mods that still gets driven daily and used off-road at weekends. A rigid race clutch makes traffic punishing and stresses the gearbox; an OE clutch slips. This spring hub twin plate clutch holds the extra torque, stays civil in traffic, and handles weekend trails without complaint — which is precisely why it is our most recommended configuration.
Hundreds of kilometres of corrugations, sand and river crossings with a fully loaded vehicle punish both the clutch and the driveline. The spring-loaded hub cushions the load reversals that crack transfer cases and half-shafts, while the twin plate's wide disc spacing handles the sustained heat of sand recovery and steep, low-range climbs far better than a triple plate.
Low-range crawling means slipping the clutch at 1,500–3,000 rpm for minutes at a time. Two friction faces with generous air gaps spread and shed that heat, resisting the glazing and fade that destroy organic discs on technical climbs. The damper additionally protects the driveline from the shock of sudden tyre grip after wheelspin — a routine event on ledges and loose rock.
A Y61 towing a 3-tonne caravan or expedition trailer places enormous strain on the clutch at every hill start. The twin plate's extra friction area provides the holding capacity for loaded take-offs and boat ramps, while the spring hub prevents the driveline snatch that makes heavy launches violent — protecting the gearbox on the repeated starts touring operators make every day.
The TB48DE is a cult engine in the Gulf, with turbo and stroker builds reach 600 hp. This 185mm twin disc clutch offers substantial headroom over stock for high-boost street builds, hill climb cars and fast desert Patrols. Beyond roughly 600 hp, or for dedicated drag use, step up to our triple plate kit instead.
Repeated clutch kicks and rapid load transitions are hard on transmissions. The spring hub absorbs that shock, letting drivers use the clutch aggressively without destroying driveline components, while ceramic faces handle the heat of continuous abuse. The result is a motorsport clutch that survives a full season rather than a single event.
