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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
