Im unsure which way to go, I need the car to be streetable considering the car will be demo car for the business .

I have some serious plans for the motor, The clutch needs replacing now and I only want to do it once.

Yeah, the Nismo Super Coppermix is a VERY popular choice and I've never heard a bad word about them.

I'm using an O.S Giken STR2CD and it's very streetable, light under foot and pretty quiet. Gets a bit grabby when it gets warm though ( a bit touchy in traffic ) but 95% of the time it's great !

Got an OS Giken Twin. Not bad, but it can stall on you sometimes if you don't give it enough revs. Even after 6 months of having it, I'll stall it at least once a week still. I reckon its the super lightweight flywheel that causes it rather than it being too 'bitey'. Then again I have an SR20 so its probably a different case on the RB2x

I have a OS Giken twin plate clutch in my 33GTR and it takes some getting used with stalling done on a weekly basis and it can be quite noisy, but there is no slip and it takes the high rpm changes no probs.

So you need to decide as to the type of power you will be putting down and how you want that translated to the road. I put up with the on and off grab of the clutch as I use mine almost every day, I know it's going to hold together changing under load.

id go a os-giken twin plate. they cop a hiding. my old ts2bd (480ps rating) put up with my 430hpatw gtr till i simply just upgraded for the hell of it to a nismo tripple.

the os was like a stock clutch compared to this nismo one omg its a prick to drive. although i spose any 1000ps rated solid centre tripple would be ;)

the one id recomend is the TS2CD model. not sure on the price but it would be a good choise for both power handeling and drivability.

;)

I have a twin plate and hate it. The pedal is heavier than standard but Im used to it. The driveability is worse than standard but I have adjusted to it. It has NEVER even thought about slipping with 280rwkw.

But the friggin rattling, that is why I am getting rid of it. People know Im home, not from the sound of the exhaust note but from the friggin rattling. The car is mainly a streeter so at traffic lights everyone stares thinking somethings wrong with my car. Then theres the "your gearbox is f@cked"your bottom end is rooted" you reply with "actually its just my clutch and its normal" and get blank stares. I'm over it.

My mate has a silent exedy twinplate which is ideal but I cant afford it as I need a new gearbox so I will be getting a Jim Berry item which from all research so far seems to be a good option for a single at my power level.

^^ Haha yeah I know what you mean. But I just pop it into neutral with the clutch in when at the lights etc. Another method is to load (slip) the clutch plates ever so slightly slightly and the noise goes away when you're idling/waiting to move off as well. The noise isnt as bad as a clunking KAAZ LSD though lol.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
