323F = Non Australian correct ???
There is a sticky about clutches under performance.

Basically the guys are providing a standard daikin upgrade kit (full face organic plate with ~400kg pressure plate) and replacing the diaphram spring with a HD item from i believe a holden of some description which will give the pressure plate a clamp load of about 1900pounds (~800kg). Cost is about $370 delivered to the door.

"If you were to run 800kg of clamp pressure your clutch should be capable of holding approx 225 kw at the flyheel @5000rpms or 320 ft lb of torque.Cost of a full faced organic kit with 800kg of clamp would cost $315 inc gst+ freight"

So what that means is that either Daiken Aus or the local clutch shop have swapped out the springs on the clutch to give it an increased clamping pressure. I know Daiken Aus do custom stuff as I got directly a modified clutch which had 2 steel backing plates added to the clutch plate and a matched machined pressure plate for extra strength.

What you can get over there dont know you would have to ask around about who can change over the springs for you.
