Traction is a prob so a clutch that could be ridden a bit would be better but i dont know if you can get a clutch you can ride that still wont wear out

$750 is a bit steap for me apperently daiken do brassy's for 500

i gotta decide soon though it's startin to slip really bad though a commondore almost kept up with me. hehe

hey black32 ive got a balck32 too hehe:D

i dont mind so much the parking and the slow driving hassels it will cause that jus goes with the territory likethe rest of the hassals that go along with hi-po cars.

Not that im complaining or anything i wouldnt have it any onther way

My biggest concern is take-offs as traction is a problem already

do you find that your tiptoeing on take offs or are you still able to drill it off the mark???

I can take off like normal, without tiptoeing it, as well as drilling it whenevr I want.

Give yourself a month to get used to it though.

BTW I've got my car in the shop now coz it split the clutch hose due to it being old, and the clutch is heavy as, so replace it when you do the upgrade.

When i installed my puck clutch i wish instead i had installed an R32 GTR OE clutch. Im sure it would hold the power of stock turbo, even up to 200kw with small aftermarket turbo.

It would have all the driveability of stock unit, handle some moderate abuse (any clutch can be fried) and would have been cheaper.

Whether the puck clutch is that much harder on the drivetrain or not, i dont know. I suspect they are as they sure as hell sound/feels like it, so cant imagine the gearbox/driveshafts/diff are immune to additional loading transmitted thru the drivetrain.

brass button clutches can destroy diff's, axles, tailshafts, and gearboxes.

i am getting a 1 piece tailshaft, and if i blow up my diff, i will just get a mini spool.

but when you are building a performance car the brass button cluth does give u better acces to the power.

either clutch is good for the power though.

just like saying how longs a piece of string.

many answers

i have never driven a twin plate, but a friend with a r32 gtr has a twin plate, and he says it is also on/off.

you cant ride any clutch and expect it to be good for it. But the full face clutches are just easier to do it in.

twin plates are very expensive, and not really warranted for say 200rwkw. if you can afford it twin plates are better than brass buttons, but not really warranted unless you got a hipo motor to back it up.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
