Geez I go off for a couple of weeks and already the children are not playing well together.

The reason why a twin plate was decided on was because John expressed to me the need to have his clutch hold 300-350kw at the wheels and he didn't want a button single plate. A single plate organic will not handle 300rwkw so the choice is fairly clear.

Twin plate clutches ALL use button style plates but the paddle style button configuration was chosen for lightweight instead of the heavier full plate. The buttons are also rivetted on instead of sprayed on and the cost to overhaul this particular one is about 1/3 of the cost of the exedy hyper twin.

The Exedy hyper twin puts too much load on the crank plate, wears out the carrier and the pedal is three times heavier. This clutch has the same light feel as a stock SR20 clutch and will hold 1000hp at the wheels. It does not drive anywhere near as harsh as single button clutch.

Yes it does grab hard but you can ride it so it drives a lot easier than the button singles.

If you have never owned or installed a twin plate then please look but keep the uneducated comments to yourself. A lot of time went into the development of this clutch and it is by far the best one on the market. Anyone who owns a car with near 300rwkw will know that a single plate is a waste of time and will understand the choice. If you are one of these people then maybe you should ask John to take you for a drive and I'll guarantee you will be impressed with not only the drivability but also the pedal feel.

Dan thanks for the PROPER explanation regarding choice.

But seeing as I HAVE installed these before and HAVE driven cars with these in them, depending on friction compounds, they can be a bitch.

So I guess the uneducated comments were not addressed to me...lucky....

On a side note how come not a sprung centre plate, these would still provide enough friction and clamping but without the overall harshness and vibration that inherently accompanies an unsprung centre!!! I agree with why the button and not the full face, however, clamping pressure is greater using buttons than full face, so having it being not as heavy I find a little bit hard to swallow, that being said I am happy to be proven wrong. Also the rivets are always better to overhaul...I think they are the bee's knees when it comes to replacing!!!

I can see why multiplate has been the choice here, single plate, either button or otherwise will not hold 300rwkw...well it will but not for long...

I was wondering if you were gonna come back dan and explain to everyone...

Good on ya...

I had a single plate button in my GTS-X and it could slip quite a bit once you got used to it... Most would jump straight in and stall the car...

Brisbane Tunning in woolloongabba, was done this morning.

The injectors will be upgraded within the next week or so.

Just going to look around for what would be best. Was recommended to go more then 550cc but less then 650cc.

Coilpack will also be replaced as coilpack 4, 5, 6 aren't all that good.

550's will do what you need but they will be up around 90% duty I would think. The next step up from them are the 650's but I wouldn't go over that. I've gotta re-check my HKS injector prices and I'll let you know John. There is only 3 Sard's left from my supplier and it won't be for a while until they have more.

Nismo and most other only offer 550 or 740 direct drop in, unless you are going to change the rail...

Good result though so post up a sheet!!!

i`ll post up dyno sheet tomorrow.

i left the sheet here at home when i got back from brisbane tunning.

so i`ll take it into work tomorrow and scan it and then post it up here.

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
