Nism Twin plate clutch....Couple of questions

[51jay]

Can anyone tell me if you need to use replacement flywheel bolts when installing the above clutch on a lightened flywheel.

Can anyone say if the clutch plates in the pic are the correct ones for the clutch they are shown on. Clutch is for my R33

Hi 51 Jay, the clutch plates say Exedy, which is Trust. Is the pressure plate and flywheel a Nismo?

[butthead]

yes the bolts are alot longer, for ur new flywheel

[51jay]

Sydneykid The clutch assembly is Nismo could'

n't see any id on the flywheel but they came together. F'wheel is 6Kg. People who trued it up said it was the hardest metal they had encountered. It's the disparity in the outer and inner diameters of the Xedy plate and the pressure plate that bother me.

butthead: There's no problem bolting on the flywheel problem is the clutch plate fouls the heads of the flywheel bolts. I wondered if you'r supposed to use special bolts with shallower heads to provide cleareace

sounds about right

nismo clutches are made by exedy.

the bolts you need are nismo part no. 12315-42L11 (assuming your clutch assembly is the g-max spec2 for rb25det)

most nissan dealers should be able to order them in for you, or if you're extremely lucky, cross reference them to an exedy part no. that you can pickup locally.

ph1....Thanks, it is the G-max,i'll start chasing the bolts.

Do you by any chance have a part no for the clutch plates, are they identical or is one of them a solid plate.

Anyway thanks for the help

[ph1]

both plates appear to be the same, part no. is 3010C-RS045

i'll try to scan the pages from the catalog today some time

Those clutch plates look too small for the pressure plates. The friction material shouldnt hang over like that? (on the inside) at least on the only nismo twin plate I have seen it didnt - it had new clutch plates in it and both they and the old plates mated up with the pressure plates, and had nismo on them.

To fit OS twin plates you have to cut part of the (stock) bolts off (shorten them) so that they fit - is this the problem you are having?
