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....

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
