Ogura Racing Clutch | The Pinnacle of Japanese Drivetrain Engineering

Uncompromising torque capacity with refined Japanese precision. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Ogura Racing Clutch (ORC). Leveraging decades of experience as the world's leading clutch manufacturer, ORC systems are designed to bridge the gap between aggressive motorsport performance and street-driven driveability. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their elite range of single, twin, and triple-plate clutch systems.

The Ogura 'ORC' Engineering Advantage & Series

Ogura distinguishes itself through the use of ultra-lightweight chromoly flywheels and specialised friction materials that provide a crisp, positive engagement. Their latest SE (Smart Engage) technology has redefined the "heavy clutch" myth by increasing the half-clutch range, making high-horsepower cars surprisingly easy to navigate in traffic. Whether you are chasing the rapid engine response of a 400 Light or the 1000hp+ capacity of the Metal Series, Ogura provides a harmonised kit that includes the flywheel and pressure plate for a perfect "plug-and-play" installation.

Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship Ogura Racing range:
• ORC 250 & 400 Light Series: Redefining the reinforced clutch. High-performance organic and metal hybrids perfect for the Toyota 86 (ZN6) / GR86 (ZN8) and Mazda MX-5 (ND).
• ORC 409 & 559 Metal Series: The definitive choice for high-boost Nissan Silvia (S14/S15) and Subaru WRX STI (GDB/GRB) builds, available in single and twin-plate configurations.
• SE (Smart Engage) Series: Featuring a unique diaphragm spring design to soften engagement without losing torque capacity—ideal for Nissan Skyline (R32/R33/R34) and Toyota Supra (A80) daily-driven projects.
• Pro Carbon Series: The pinnacle of their range, utilising carbon fibre discs for superior heat resistance and incredibly low inertia in professional Time Attack and Circuit racing.

Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to ensure you receive the correct "Push" or "Pull" type conversion required for your specific gearbox. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Japanese hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.

Ogura Racing Clutch FAQ

What is the 'metallic chime' I hear with Ogura clutches?

The distinctive "chime" heard when the clutch pedal is depressed on an ORC Twin or Triple plate system is the sound of the floating intermediate plates. This is a signature characteristic of high-end Japanese multi-plate clutches and is a sign of a clean, high-precision release mechanism.

Do I need to change my slave cylinder for an Ogura clutch?

Most Ogura kits are designed to work with your factory hydraulics. However, for specific "Pull to Push" conversions (common on certain Subaru and Nissan models), the kit will include the necessary hardware or sleeves required for a seamless installation. We recommend inspecting your slave cylinder for wear before fitting a reinforced clutch.

How quickly can you source Ogura products?

We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most ORC 400 Light and 559 Twin kits for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
