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.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
