I had my cam gears and powerFC tuned yesterday for my car and when getting a baseline dyno run in high boost (1.2 bar) the clutch woulnd't hold the power and started slipping.....

Although high boost doesn't create a lot more power than low boost I think its the sudden jump in torque (from look at the dyno printout) that causes the clutch to slip....

Anyway I'm looking at around 220-230kw @ the wheels and I need a clutch that will hold this.

I know the best solution is to get an Exedy/OS Giken/Nismo twin plate but I don't want to fork out $3K for a clutch right now. Can anyone recommend me a good clutch that will hold on to this much power ? and costs...

I'm looking at Exedy/Daikins and also the UAs ones at the moment...

lumpy heheheh yeah not bad Nismo ones are softer than OS Giken which can be very grabby.....GTS25T one won't suit GTR though. Have heard Jim Berry clutches in Qld do tough single plates might be worht a call. I just wish for the money I spent on the single had put it towards a twin.. Can't you get a Honky special? Might know of one sitting around somewhere will find out...

So the Nismo are softer than the OS... cool thanks for the info Richie. Let me know if you find a clutch.

Ed don't think so.... cos people me and you both know (hint hint) are getting theirs for between $2-3K right and this is pick up in HK. If then we add the cost of shipping a 30kg clutch to Australia it will be close to $3K!

get a 2nd hand twin plate dude don't stuff around...  I went a Daikin supposed high performance ceramic and it lasted about 3 months.   Jap twin plate is the only way to go if you want to hold that power and not slip....

richie

Hmmm....so how come you didn't tell me that i needed my twin plate to control my cars power?!?! :P

for $700 what clutch would u recommend i get. rb25det in S13, using rb25det gearbox.

want it to last a long time. yet still want performance, and no slippage.

am at around 180rwkw now probly. whilst the box is out of the car, which one for future mods for around 230 to 250rwkw

yang!! when did u buy all those stuff u rich boy...:D (powerfc and all that... i expect u to smoke me next time we meet! )

i have a single plate heavy duty exeddy and i am not that happy with it... its too soft in my view... (feels even softer than the stock one for some reason)

go for a 2nd hand twin...

my mechanic told me a twin plate will last shorter than a single plate... why is this so ? anyone know?

and boosted RB26, ive never seen a twin plate selling for 1k... might be a damaged one ?? :)

I recently got a Daikin Organic clutch and its very nice. Cost me sub $500 (got a friendly discount) and pulls so much harder than the stock clutch (as u would expect when the stock clutch was warn).

I created a thread for discussion on it lately over here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ighlight=daikin

BoOsTeD_RB26 - really? I haven't seen that many but I've never really been looking out for them. But yeh I'm looking for a twin now I think unless I can find a really tuff single...

Jon - haha well I got some of the stuff when I was in Japan but never got around to fitting it... the powerFC was a late thing.. only just got it :)

I've heard the same thing about the singles plates for GTR... not a single person has said that they last..... so I think I'm gonna get a second hand twin plate.... but damn their expensive. I know Andrew sold his twin plate OS Giken for less than $1K i think just recently damnit but before i knew mine was slipping.

Btw man I met Joshua from proconcept.. he said he worked on your car all summer haha....

forgot the single and go the twin plate yang won't regret it.. keep an eye on here and performance forums for one for sale or try an email hikari they get some 2nd hand stuff sometimes or jms in Adelaide get stuff all the time.. Everyone I know inc me heheh who went a single regretted it they just don't seem to hold in a GTR... twin plate will luv u long time if you look after it they don't like being slipped. the nismo ones seem to wear a bit quicker than the OS Gikens and Ogura's HKS ones meant to be good as well...

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
