Product Overview
Dodson PROMAX 10 Plate Clutch for Nissan GT-R R35 – DMS-8033
The Dodson PROMAX 10 Plate Clutch DMS-8033 is a high-performance clutch upgrade engineered specifically for the Nissan GT-R R35 and its GR6 drivetrain. Designed for extreme-power builds, the PROMAX system provides increased clutch capacity, improved heat control and significantly greater durability than a standard clutch assembly.
Developed by Dodson Motorsport for highly modified Nissan GT-R applications, the DMS-8033 uses an advanced 10-plate clutch configuration, forged billet components and upgraded supporting hardware to handle the demands of high-output road, track and competition vehicles.
High-Performance Nissan GT-R R35 Clutch Upgrade
Increasing the performance of the Nissan GT-R places considerably more load on the GR6 clutch system. Higher engine output, repeated launches and motorsport use can push the original clutch components beyond their intended operating range.
The Dodson PROMAX 10 Plate Clutch increases available friction area by using 10 friction plates in both the A and B clutch packs. This increased plate capacity helps improve torque transfer, thermal control and consistency during demanding use.
The current Dodson PROMAX specification is designed for extreme-performance Nissan GT-R builds producing up to approximately 2,500 hp, making DMS-8033 suitable for serious road cars, drag builds and competition vehicles.
10 Plate A and B Clutch Packs
The DMS-8033 system uses a dedicated PROMAX 10-plate configuration consisting of:
- 10 friction plates in the A clutch pack
- 10 friction plates in the B clutch pack
- 20 friction plates in total
- High-performance Dodson friction material
- High-carbon heat-treated clutch steels
Increasing the number of friction plates creates greater usable friction area, helping the clutch manage substantially increased power while maintaining consistent performance during repeated high-load operation.
Forged Billet Clutch Baskets
One of the key upgrades within the Dodson PROMAX 10 Plate Clutch Kit is the use of heavy-duty forged billet steel A and B clutch baskets.
These components are designed to improve rigidity and minimise distortion under extreme drivetrain loads. Induction-hardened spline areas provide additional durability where repeated launches and high engine output can place significant stress on conventional components.
The clutch assembly also incorporates heavy-duty supporting components designed for increased engine speed and demanding motorsport use.
PROMAX Billet Inner and Outer Basket Upgrades
The PROMAX clutch system incorporates additional billet components to further strengthen the Nissan GT-R GR6 clutch assembly.
The CNC-machined billet inner basket provides increased structural rigidity and supports the larger clutch stack, while the billet alloy outer basket helps retain the gear plate securely under high-load operating conditions.
These upgrades make the DMS-8033 particularly suitable for Nissan GT-R builds where standard clutch components may no longer provide sufficient strength or capacity.
Upgraded Oil Pump Drive Gearing
The Dodson DMS-8033 package also incorporates upgraded oil pump drive components.
Matched oil pump drive and driven gears are designed to improve durability at elevated engine speeds while supporting the increased thermal requirements of the high-performance clutch system.
Maintaining effective lubrication and heat management is particularly important on Nissan GT-Rs used for repeated high-power acceleration, drag racing and track driving.
High-Performance Friction and Steel Plates
Dodson combines high-performance friction material with high-strength, high-carbon heat-treated clutch steels.
This combination is engineered to provide:
- Increased clutch friction capacity
- Improved resistance to heat
- Consistent clamp force
- Greater durability under extreme load
- Improved performance during repeated launches
- Reliable operation in high-output GT-R applications
- Increased resistance to clutch fade during demanding use
The result is a clutch system engineered specifically for vehicles producing significantly more power than a standard Nissan GT-R.
