Howdy.. I just got a ATS single plate carbon clutch put in my R33...destroyed the original..Only problem is if its slightly ridden I get a pretty solid rattle plus with clutch pedal out there's fair wack of bearing noise..I've done searches here but my greif is that I live here in japan and its holiday time and my tuner isnt open until next week..I dont know if he thought he'd save me a few yen by not doing the thrus/input bearing, have to wait to find out..

Clutch has only done 250 k's so far ..500 to run in and I'm only riding as little as possible but living in the north if japan I'm driving on ice everyday so clutch in and out alot to stop wheelspin and get some forward momentum..

Anyway any usefull info be great...anyone else used these clutches..

just sounds like a single plate clutch mate, upgrade from the original/stock you destroyed! It does rattle/grind when engaged! You should hear my triple plate haha! Don't think there's anything to worry about, unless im not understanding what you mean right! If in doubt get it looked at later!

the bearing noise when the pedal is out (ie foot off pedal, car running but in neutral) is gearbox input shaft bearing noise. very common in skylines. it's not too big a deal. it could be bad, but most often they will get noisy and will just stay noisy for years without any problem. sometimes they get noisy and then crap themselves shortly after.

as for the clutch judder when you are taking off that is just a characteristic of a single clutch with high clamp load clutch. the only thing to cure it really is a driving style adjustment. just experiment with different techniques when taking off. or the other option is swap to another type of clutch.

Cheers blokes...

Chris it is an upgrade..still a single but supposed to be rated to 550-600ps..carbon clutch..Pedals a bit heavy but not too bad..its a 50/50 feel..on/off..

Beer Baron..I had a bit of bearing noise before with the old clutch (factory) but definitely alot louder now..I'll just turn up the stereo..Having the box out later this month/early next month for overhaul so will get them to replace bearing then..I didnt think they wouldnt replace thrust bearing, japanese too thorough..As for driving style its pretty sweet on the road but in traffic on ice its hard not too ride as you slide so much..can make for some hairy moments..I'm trying to have most of my upgrades done over winter here as its a not a matter of if you crash here..its more like when..

cheers again fellas..

they would have replaced the release bearing for sure. but gearbox input shaft bearing is a different matter. but not to worry it will be done when you overhaul the box.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
