I'm guessing you are talking about Kris's and Nick's cars? They are using coppermix clutches which have a different setup to most twin plates. Both clutch plates drive a single hub. They rattle less than the normal types on idle, but they do rattle a bit under light load.

haha, yeah those are the two cars. and i know about the hub etc I saw the coppermix clutches in japan in pieces when nismo launched them! there are a few other manufactures using that idea too, but i thought the reason they dont rattle when on the pedal is because of the little springs around the edge that keep the plates captive?

I'm going to assume that i have a OS giken twin clutch plate too. I recently bought an R32 GTR skyline and was told it has a twin clutch plate. Having never driven a car with a twin clutch plate I didn't think much of it. I did notice and still notice now every time I put my foot on the clutch I get a rattle sound. It sounds like rattling light metal though cause it sounds very metallic almost like a series of bells going off. When it starts to catch though the rattling goes away. What I do find annoying though is if I draw the clutch back slowly when taking off no matter what rev I'm at it kind of "judders"? it doesn't slip but it catches and release, catches and releases so you get jerked about a bit and you can keep it up for a couple of seconds or lately I just pull the clutch all the way out and take off. It's not so much of a problem at the lights but it is when going over speed bumps when you ride the clutch a bit.......well I do anyway.

Other than that rattle sound which is annoying it's pretty good. I tested by putting it in 4th gear at 60 km/hr and flooring it and it didn't slip one bit.

Are there any alternatives to get a different clutch that doesn't rattle but still has the benefits of a twin clutch plate? what's a brass button clutch plate like? any others?

My old clutch in MY S13 made a vibration around 2000-3000 rpm, funny thing was it did it, but then we removed the clutch and put it back in and the vibration went. I'm guessing it was a balncing problem or we never put the plates and sandwich plates in the right way (ie alternate holes line up hole or not??) Hard to explain but yeah look at the way the plates go in and you'll understand.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
