in the market for a new clutch for my 32 gtr, mainly a street car that will see the drift/drag/circuit track occasionally.

ive got an os giken 5 speed set in my box 2

looking at reccomendations/experiences with different clutches at this power level.. 600+hp at wheels..

i want something strong yet somewhat bearable to drive on the street

so far im looking at the

exedy d core twin plate (carbon)

os giken twin plate

os giken triple plate

nismo triple plate

im looking to buy asap, all ur help is greatly appreciated

(n1 gtr, im seriously considering ur triple if u read this)

thanks :(

haha, good timing :(

Yeah i was going to say, ive seen what one of these turbos can do to a clutch (broad statement, i know). On a mates one he's gone through a few clutches (twins) and he now has a nismo triple, i drove it last month, and the thing is so solid!

He has the OS 3 speed gearset in it, so every time you stop its like using normal 2nd gear to start off, and it just went off like a normal car as long as you engage it under 2000rpm, which is easy to do, after 15 mins i had it all sorted :(

The (his nismo triple) triple grabs very hard, thats for sure, and wont let go either. He's said he'd rather the OS as its heaps easier to drive

Oh, wait, i just read how much power you're running, dont bother with a twin. The car ive referred to has 330kw atw and it kills twins, if you're running 600+ atw thats like 447kw plus. If there is a twin that takes that sort of abuse (and there probably is) i bet it costs an arm and a leg, and rebuild time would be a wallet killer!!! e.g. the nismo twins are worth around $1500 to rebuild, so cheaper to buy new each time

I dont know anything about the driveability of the carbon exedy one except the cost, but it would be pretty good, still, power.......

Hope this helps you out :(

Talk to Jim Berry @ Italia spares in Stones corner, Brisbane. (07) 38479999 Tell them Deren told you to call. He's got mine at the moment. I think maybe on holiday but his business partner will help you out.

jim berry may build good clutches but i would personally never re-use a standard flywheel (or even worse lightened standard flywheel) with a heavy duty pressure plate/clutch plate combo, especially in a high powered car that does a little drag etc. in this last year alone there have been 2 GTRs I know of that have had this type of combo explode on them. one of their cars is now pretty much completely rooted. the realy miracle is neither of those guys was hurt.

if the standard flywheels are in good condition then there isnt any reason for them to explode. If you go using a flywheel that is warped, cracked etc then youd expect for it to go bang sometime. But to say you wouldnt use a standard flywheel with any heavy pressure plate/clutch is pretty silly.

i just wouldn't that's all, not ever on my GTR. they are not always obviously damaged/heat affected. but the fact is after years of use, then combine that with either lightening, or adding a heavy duty pressure plate, and aggressive friction material or both and you have potential for disaster. not saying it will happen, but the possibilty is there. couple that with decent power, and a few big launches and in my mind it's tempting fate. new flywheels are cheap, or even cheaper if you buy something like an OS/nismo/ORC multiplate.

having seen a number of standard flywheels explode now (not just in GTRs either) is enough for me to not risk it. whether you do is up to you, but seeing a piece of flywheel fly hard enough to penetrate my friends bell housing, trans tunnel, finger and then clean through the roof is enough for me.

just ebay a os-giken twin plate. sprung centre. TS2CD. or bigger. the r3c is a nice clutch but could take some getting used to.

a nismo twin will ware out quickly. dont get an ORC as they get enevan plate ware.

getting a bullshit tripple isnt really nesesary but if ones available go for it. coz it will last alot longer than a twin :laugh:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
