Making A Twin Plate Clutch Better To Drive

[T04GTR]

get a nismo slave cylinder. or a localy made one. one thats bigger internaly.

ie stock is 11/16" nismo is 3/4" etc etc

use hydrolics to help you

Slightly off topic - but I converted my HKS solid centre twin plate to a sprung centre and what a difference!

Apart from the typical twin plate rattle when the clutch is depressed, you would think it's a stock clutch (almost).

and the cost of the conversion?

have a twin HKS at home, waiting to go in, solid centred.. but i can see it will need to be rebuild within a year

i found my booster and master were both leakin so thats my problem, and the fact i got a slave with a bore of only 15mm and the stock gtr one is 19.05mm and nismo is 20.54mm so the change back to a gtr one will have a considerable difference compared to the pissy one i currently have and also when i fix the vacuum booster setup it should be like a new car to drive

yep u definately would have a longer fork by the looks of it.

longer fork means u need more travel so i doubt u could use a longer fork and a nismo slave together as the nismo wouldnt have enough travel to disengage it i'd imagine.

also my clutch is awesome now with the new gtr slave cylinder (3/4) and the vacuum booster is now fixed as someone had previously put the wrong size o-ring on to seal it and it was leaking.

i also adjusted the pushrod inside the vacuum booster abit longer to gain more travel on the slave

feels beautiful to drive now and it even rattles alot less which is a benefit

thanks for all the info peoplz

aha, happy i found this thread. so just to confirm:

1. there should be a difference in clutch feel when the car is off/on - harder off, easier on?

2. a larger slave (like the nismo slave) will make the clutch softer?

cheers fellas.

bump anyone? i'd like more travel on my clutch (i.e. longer takeup distance), i don't mind about difficulty in pushing the pedal...anyone?
