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.

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
