quad plate are you making 1000+hp at the flywheel

Only person i have seen post with one was Dicky but he had a os 6 speed to go with it

about 700hp

I've driven one. It's so easy to drive. Probably easier to drive than my triple plates.

cheers

sik. my nismo tripple is a carnt

[MattR]

yeah ive got a AP racing triple and that is starting to slip so im looking at the os quad

[shanef]

Sorry, but i've got to laugh. why do you need a quad plate for just 700hp? I'm only running a custom single in my car, and my power target in the end is 800-900hp

Sounds like overkill but whatever floats your boat!!

the number of plates has only a small bearing on the drivability of the clutch. the most infulencing factors are: clamp load of pressure plate, whether the plates are sprung centre or not, what design the plates are (puck type, full face type etc), and finally what type of friction material is used.

700hp = single plate with ease.

Just my 0.02c

it will do that only if you want it to

pedal pressure is slightly higher than stock but not unbearable like most single, it slips and is very driveable almost like a stock. the quad plate should last you a very long time too

[R31Nismoid]

Any clutch will last a long time.

your kidding yourself if you think paying more for a quad over a nicely suited single/twin will get you longer life

[Beer Baron]

no offence to the guys that posted above but saying stuff like "a quad plate is really easy to drive... etc etc" is like saying ice cream tastes good. vanilla ice cream tastes good, but scrotum flavoured ice cream may not taste so good. but they are both still ice cream. like I said above the number of plates has only a small bearing on how driveable/undriveable the clutch is.

this is what I posted before and it is still true.

thank you people for commenting

the reason for quad is its a bit more drivably on the street (i was told)

[shanef]

I still don’t understand why you would want to go with a quad plate when a single plate will more than do the job, and be more driveable at that. Plus you could buy 3-4 new singles for the price of the quad

[2rismo]

vanilla ice cream tastes good, but scrotum flavoured ice cream tastes really bad, trust me. but they are both still ice cream.

FIXED

you are not quite getting it yet. saying a quad is more driveable than say a tripple is not helpfull at all.

let's say on the one hand I have a tripple plate, spung centre, full face plates, organic friction material, 900kg pressure plate. on the other hand I have a quad plate, solid centre, puck style plates, high metal content friction material, 1500kg pressure plate. saying the quad would be more driveable because it's a quad plate would be completely wrong. it would be fare less user friendly than the tripple plate (in this case). i'll will say it once more. get over rating clutches in usuability based on the number of plates. it's a very small part of the equation.

and lol and 2rismo. you knob gobbler, i knew the scrotum ice cream reference would bring you back to the thread.

[shanef]
