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! :dry: 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...

lol ur a joke....u want an example of a gtr running a single plate? what about paul's car (twoogle) that ran consitant 10's with ~450awkw's, and he ran on the one clutch for 2 yrs...

as MrVspec said, 2 words, Jim Berry :dry:

im a joke, u guys are all keyboard mechanics, idiot!

good call :O

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 :ermm:. Don't knock the R4C. If money is of no concern I would get the r4c any day.

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

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
