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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
