Funny you said this Dan, my single plate felt like a sledgehammer hitting the engine whereas the twin plate has a much softer engagement.

I never truly appreciated the physical size difference between these clutches until I put my old single plate side-by-side to the NPC twin plate - it was dead easy to see which was the stronger/better engineered unit. The NPC must have weighed twice as much.

But keep in mind that the NPC twin plate includes the flywheel as part of it. The other one, after attaching to the Nissan flywheel I think actually weighs slightly more.

Turns out the clutch in my car was the bog stocko nissan organic single plate that they came out with, the gearbox had never been opened.

:) I'd never had a "twin-plate" before either which is why i was amazed at how nicely it engaged. I can't believe the standard clutch lasted 100 odd kms. I can't find the mechanics report i got with the car, but i did save the Yahoo auction ad and the J-spec ad which clearly said it had a Nismo clutch.

As for the remodelling point the R34GTR turbine, the carbon bonnet, the carbon fender, the carbon door, the strengthening clutch (the ニスモ make), the BLITZ 17 inch wheel, the imitation brake pad, the turbo timer, the imitation muffler and the front pipe et cetera have been attached perhaps. The engine, the blowing rising and idling are satisfactory. There is a year type fit scar and dent et cetera. There is no either section and oil leak et cetera, it is the vehicle whose service is very good.

Sorry if you felt i mislead you, without taking apart the entire car i could only go on the information i was given.

Its all good now neil, dont worry, im not holding it against you. The rebuild price and the price to put in the new 6 button were comperable, and I highly doubt I will ever chuck enough power at the 6 button to break it.

I also think the clutch has been slipping since I got the car, and prehaps before then. The original clutch was very, very worn as was the flywheel. Driving the car home tonight was an intresting experciance, with the car happily chirping 2nd and 3rd before I learnt how to drive the button clutch properly (And you could almost hear the sigh of relief from my gearbox when I did) - the car feels much, much faster now too. Giving it stick from 1st to 2nd taking off from the lights in the 80 zone on the way home, it happily spun the back wheels up on the gear change and for half a second the car wanted to step out before attessa kicked in and corrected. Something I must be careful of in the future, thank god I was the only car on the road.

All in all, dans effort on this was 110% - He had the car finished well ahead of when he first said he would, the job seems to be very through with dan replacing the spigot bush and the throwout bearing in the car, and of course a machined flywheel, along with a few other odds and ends. The whole car drives and feels quite smooth, and once you get used to the feeling of the new clutch its actually quite pleasureable to drive.

Two thumbs up for Elite Racing Developments :)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
