Hi guys,

I'm rebuilding my R32 GTR at the moment and everything is assembled and looking great but I'm deciding what clutch to use. I've had a HKS Twin plate and that is dead I think the previous owner in Japan took it for a ride so I tried a Exedy Button clutch rated at my HP but failed.

Now I want to return to twin plate or possibly triple. I've being looking at a Exedy Twin plate ( new model ) which looks good also OS GIKENS. After a HKS twin plate failing im not to keen on that.

Purchasing second hand clutches worry me? am I tripping

You can buy new plates and parts for the HKS clutches - may be worth checking out prices of this before committing to the outlay of a brand new unit.

Xspeed sourced sprung centres for my second hand HKS twin plate without too many problems. This is supporting abuse from well over 500 awhp. Won't hurt bto give them a call first.

depends if he has one on the shelf already made. i dropped in one afternoon a bit b4 5, he had to leave at 5 to go to an opening, but we didnt stop talking until like 5:30...anyhoo he tested the clamp pressure for me there and then, and if he had another 30mins or so was going to set a different clutch face up for me

give him a burl, better talk to him about it then the rest of us :laugh:

Can i ask why ud still rather go for a twin/tripple over a single if the single can do the same job? I mean it'll be cheaper, be easier to drive (i saw u do that ubolt when u left my house jboy, im sure a single would make the turn alot easier :() plus with john's clutch's u get his customer service, advice and professionalism, which u wont find anywhere else.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
