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...

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.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
