How many ks or years did the clutched last you guys? RBNT and Darrin? <ineshas done 75k is still doing fine my tuner just ask me not to launch it from a standstill. Let me know. BTW has anybody fiexed the rusts that might be present underneath the sideview mirrors?

The original didnt last long at all. The 5puk lasted about 7 months.

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

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!! . 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?

All depends were you live

There is a guy/company in Brisbane that will do it for approx $250 including a flywheel machine....bargin

I have heard of upto $700-800 for labour

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

I am very familiar with the single plate unit having sold a heap of them (thanks steve), however never had a DC twin plate in a car. Brad, how bad was the rattle??

i got mine fixed when the sideskirts were put on

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

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!
