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

wats the point of buyin 3-4 single plates, stupid ass... you still runnin standard turbos? hmm??? my point is, better off doing a job the right way the first time instead of f**king up and havin to buy all new shit again sooner down the track think with your brain and you your gt-r badge!

excuse me toss pot, but i was saying that for the price of the quad plate clutch you could buy 3-4 brand new singles, and the single will still hold his power as good as if not better than the quad

why would the millenium motorsport supra be running on a single, or even the subzero soarer be running on a single if it wasnt up to the task?

and for your information, if you cared to read the whole post, you would have seen my gtr is far from running on the standard turbo's

how bout you get ur facts right before u go running ur mouth

i read the post and it says nothing bout your gt-r but i reckon without it would have to be fulleh sick uleh. they are f**king toyotas who gives a f**k! supras and soarers are totally different cars, hence the reason why a very respectable mechanic told him to use a quad plate! mate get your facts right, its not as if your way is the only way. and dont go 'oh tell me who this mechanic is, cause he doesnt know shit', cause mate to tell you the truth you guys on this site no everything. pffft...

good call

a reason not to get a single would be that for the same hp rating a quad would probably be lighter to push, which usually means its easier to drive which is what the person who started the thread wants. although u should just listen to beer baron (although he likes scrotum??) and ask your mechanic the details

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.

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.

No offence taken at all, but the question is specificly on the OS giken Quad plate clutch.

I currently have the OS R3C. It is very streetable and I've been driving it daily for the past 5 months. I drove a 9sec r32 with R4C and it was even easier to take off than mine. This R4C certainly had a lot longer history than mine and probably more hot spots. However it has not fail to cope with the 8-9 sec power.

I've used single exedy, twin exedy, OS r3c and r4c. The multiple plates were a lot easier to drive for me. This is my experience on the road and driving around workshop with gravel floor.

BTW your comments on the clutch are correct too. The master and slave cylinder sizes/ratio also can affect the drivability of the clutch as well . Don't knock the R4C. If money is of no concern I would get the r4c any day.
