Product Overview
Xtreme Performance 230mm Twin Plate Motorsport Clutch
The Xtreme Performance KNI23530-2E has been engineered for Nissan RB-powered vehicles where a conventional single-plate clutch can no longer reliably manage the engine’s torque output.
Using a 230mm rigid ceramic twin-plate design, this clutch system has a manufacturer-listed torque capacity of 1800Nm and is designed primarily for serious motorsport applications. Xtreme classifies ceramic multi-plate kits ending in -2E as part of its Stage 5 Motorsport series, developed for dedicated motorsport use.
This makes KNI23530-2E particularly suitable for applications such as:
- Drift competition
- Drag racing
- Circuit racing
- Time attack
- High-boost RB20DET builds
- High-power RB25DET builds
- Modified RB26DETT applications
- RB30DE / RB30DET performance builds
Official Nissan Applications
According to Xtreme’s current 230mm clutch catalogue, KNI23530-2E is listed for the following Nissan applications:
- Nissan Skyline R31 – RB30DE/T
- Nissan Skyline R32 GTS / GTS-T – RB20DET
- Nissan Skyline BNR32 GT-R Early Model – RB26DETT, Push-Type
- Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T – RB25DET
- Nissan Cefiro A31 – RB20DET
All of these applications are listed with an 1800Nm ceramic torque capacity.
Important R34 Correction
KNI23530-2E should not be listed for the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T.
Xtreme’s catalogue specifies the R34 GT-T RB25DET pull-type application as KNI23582-2E, not KNI23530-2E. The same KNI23582-2E family is also used for later pull-type BNR32 and BCNR33 GT-R applications with a push-type conversion.
230mm Rigid Ceramic Twin Plate Construction
The twin-plate design provides two friction surfaces compared with a conventional single-plate clutch, helping achieve significantly greater torque capacity while maintaining a compact overall clutch diameter.
The rigid ceramic friction discs are focused on maximum performance rather than OE-style comfort.
Key Advantages
- 1800Nm torque capacity
- Twin-plate clutch configuration
- 230mm friction-disc diameter
- High heat capacity
- Excellent torque holding capability
- Positive and rapid engagement
- Suitable for extreme power builds
- Motorsport-focused construction
- Serviceable multi-plate design
- Reduced rotational inertia compared with many conventional heavy-duty systems
Xtreme notes that its Stage 5 multi-plate systems are designed specifically for dedicated motorsport applications and can be serviced with replacement discs and intermediate components where condition permits.
Chromoly Flywheel Included
The KNI23530-2E is supplied as a complete clutch kit including a chromoly flywheel and pressure-plate bolts. This is confirmed in Xtreme’s application catalogue.
Including the matched flywheel is especially important for high-performance multi-plate clutch systems because the clutch and flywheel assembly are engineered to work together.
Designed for Motorsport Use
This clutch should not be confused with a conventional upgraded road clutch.
Rigid ceramic friction discs engage more aggressively and can introduce:
- Increased drivetrain noise
- Clutch chatter
- Sharper engagement
- Greater driveline shock
- Reduced low-speed refinement
Xtreme categorises its -2E ceramic multi-disc kits as Stage 5, which are designed for dedicated motorsport use rather than normal daily-driving applications.

Important Fitment Notice
Please confirm the exact vehicle model, engine code, gearbox and clutch actuation type before ordering.
This is particularly important with Nissan Skyline models because push-type and pull-type clutch configurations can use different kits.
Xtreme states that warranty coverage applies to clutch kits installed on vehicle applications specifically listed in its current catalogue, and fitting a clutch to an incorrect or unlisted application may invalidate warranty coverage.
