the main factors are:

pressure plate clamping load

sprung or solid centre

type of plates (full face, puck style, buttons of friction material?)

type of friction material used (carbon, ceramic, high metal content, composite...)

agree 100%. talk to Jim B re your needs and he'll give you some options. i learned quite a lot talking to him about why pivot points etc in the clutch design are critical in making a good strong clutch not drive like a dog. i eventually decided on an option - he took my stock GTR pressure plate and gave me back a ''full monty'' with an organic plate. stock pedal pressure but quicker uptake and slightly less travel. still easily modulated though. so far held 267 rwkw on an RB26/30 and easy in traffic.

I went with the Nismo twin, also got the clutch line and pedal bracket. I don't think the bracket made a difference to the feel of the pedal, its just a stronger bracket, the line however has improved feel a lot.

ive just replaced my clutch slave cylinder with a nismo item (R32 GTR) and ive got OS twin plate and it has made it a lighter the pedal feel also replaced with nismo clutch line from the separation box to slave, dont know if that has a contributing factor in the feel of the pedal.

Was thinking about the nismo pedal bracket too but opted not too.

Topaz mite check out the Nismo slave clyinder, to reduce pedal pressure.

I was convinced that a JB was the go then got advice to talk to NPC in Archerfield Brisbane. http://www.npcperformance.com.au/cgi-bin/m...main=nicsclutch

At $814 it's well priced too.

Great clutch built from a nismo single plate organic but strengthened to handle the possible 360-380rwkw I intend to extract from my GTR33. I will do some track and some drag and it is too easy to drive.

I had a standard replacement installed not long ago because I thought mine was squealing but the squeal is still there so I am pretty sure now that its the brake booster. If i hold my foot in the right position the squeal is constant....

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
