Thread Revive :

I too am having issue's with my ATS & Across Twin plate carbon clutch it didn't have much use it seems.

The clutch was re-serviced and checked over before installing measurement of the discs was very minimal.

After installing car was dyno tuned and it was slipping on the dyno.

Once i got it back i notice if i give it a little squirt from 2nd to 3rd it start's to slip and does not grab at all ( feel's like reving in neutral )

Does anyone know if this is normal or am i suppose to warm up the clutch somehow ?

Thanks need help desperately !

P.S for general driving it is 100% perfect

With carbon plates yes you are supposed to warm them up before hand by slipping them a little bit... hence why they are recommended for race cars and not street cars. Slipping when cold can damage plates then you are up for another rebuild.

Yep had the same thing with Carbonetics Twin plate. Instructions even said before hard driving "slip clutch 3-4 times to warm up", was shit couldn't even over take without it flaring. Track clutch only. Took it straight out.

Dam!

So many problems with carbon clutches. I had one in the rally car and it ran faultlessly at 9000RPM all day

Then again, it was only harnessing 118kW of Vtec goodness (and being a N/A 1.6L, probably about 150Nm)

I had an ATS Carbon single in my 33, (new) and had the same issues as described as the OP.

Was better when warmed up, but pulled it out after less than 6 month and it was pretty well shot.

Put in a Nismo GMAX twin plate and never looked back.

I guess the carbon clutches have their place, but in a street car it isn't.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
