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:

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...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
