ive got a direct clutch solid centre twin plate in mine and its holding up perfect on previous car for 2 years with 350rwhp and new setup in the stagea on 545rwhp so its certainly taking a beating :P

i paid like $1700 about 4 years ago now so i reckon they might be cheaper these days. only drama is it rattles hellll loud being a twin plate and its way rattlier than a os giken twin plate thats for sure. plus its damn heavy pedal feel and it wouldnt be ideal for daily use. must be over 3000lb pressure plate easy ive been told, though i never got it checked to find out.

its all about compromises i suppose when u want more power :)

Well im just thinking to repair that small patch of ruse and repaint it just that small section. Cos its underneath the sideview mirrors so its not really noticeable (difference in paint color.shade) unless you really look for it. Pluius my car got the paint protection on it so i dont want to waste it by painting the whole thing.

Funny when i sple to JB he ask me the first question who will be driving this car? And i reply only me!! :P . And hes said well thats makes life much more easuer withoutthe Misuss in the equation LOL. But i told him that i want the car to be streetable and my traget is only 300-350AWKW. abd he said single plate with increase clamp load should do the job fine. Soo... Just wondering if we were to pay a mech to install the clucth how much it would have cost in labor for removing and installing the clutch?

Is the rattle that bad?? I have mine going in today. $1700 two years ago was a good price, mine was $1500 + the push pull convo kit.

I can vouch for Direct Clutch.

Had a standard SINGLE plate clutch modified and rebuilt with organics by them in 2000 for my GTR. Circuit raced the car MANY times, drag raced at least 100 passes (** note- this car ran 11.1 sec @ 129 mph), and drove it on the street for around 15,000 klms, and it was JUST starting to slip when I sold the car in 2005.

So, it did all that, DIDN'T rattle, had a nice take-up, and was cheap!

Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe it's that I always heel/toe on downchanges and don't slip it excessively? Whatever it is, great clutch! :)

..... my two cents lads :laugh:

Ive got the same problem with rust in the same spot, hoping to have it fixed up by Powercruise in Darwin this Easter.

Went for my first drive in the staj with the twin plate fitted. It is a bit rattly but nothing to severe, what is severe is the take up, theres nothing there!

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
