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.

thank you

is it jerky and hard to drive on street

cheers

it will do that only if you want it to :down:

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

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.

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

thank you people for commenting

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

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
