yes they are noisy. like 90% of multi-plates they have a loud rattle when the clutch predal is depressed.

are they good? yeah they are pretty good. hard to comment definitively as they make heaps of different twin plates for GTR. sprung centre? solid centre? small plates? larger plates? alloy cover? steel cover? carbon? etc etc.

I had a HKS Twin Plate.

It was either IN or OUT... no play, so parking was annoying.

I was told Twins are not good for daily driving because its purpose was to take hard launches or racing applications.

True?

They are ok as long as you dont slip them too much. A little bit is fine as far as im concerned.

And i must say my Exedy Hyper Twin is as quiet as stock whether depressed or not, which is good in a way

Edited by Yawn
I have exedy twin and is quiet in or out and is very easy to drive, i've had a few different singles and the twin is better and easier to live with.

my 32 gtr supposibly has a tripple plate hks clutch haven't had it out yet to look but i know its damn stiff and bugger all slip so it on or off. just cruisin and changing from 2nd to 3rd gives a nice thunk if im to quick on the pedal. im trying to make it into a more street friendly machine so am after a clutch that i can has a bit more of travel between on and off and is good in traffic but still tough enough to take the power when needed (its still a stock engine so not rediculous power or anything) Would you rate your exedy as a street friendly yet still tough clutch? if so what model is it? am i better off with a single for what im after?

cheers

I have a hks twin in my 200zr... yup definitely takes skill.... daily driving is fine, just dont drag it! Could be cause mine was old though, but it didnt like it!!

I have an ORC twin 709D in my 33... love it! Clutch pedal is just like standard... drives easy and is good for track or drag... highly recommend.. and one of the quietest twins I have had!

Wouldn't recommend slipping a twin too often though, will wear out alot quicker...

os gikken tripple for the win lol. 100,000k and 4 years daily driver, still going strong lols.

Would like a sprung center though to soften the blow on the gearbox, drivetrain etc when driving hard.

I have the HKS twin plate. It does take some skill but takes the punishment. Strangely enough the HKS-USA site claims the design makes it easier to slip and makes for "easier clutch pedal management" :D

Yeah mine was old too and I believe the previous owner drive it hard.

Guess it was just knowing how to work the clutch, like you both said takes skill.

well my single plate was very on off 6 puck brass button..... just want to know if this clutch is going to handle 5 6000rpm dumps?

seems no one is using one?

i have never heard a twin or triple plate clutch befor either.... so the rattle noise will be interesting :)

  • 2 weeks later...
Twin plate rattle is hardcore and if ure complaining then ure a girl... :(

I have an ORC 709D and have heard OS and HKS twin plates and the ORC is the quietest out of them by a fair bit

It is not so much a matter of complaining as putting up with other people continually asking what the rattle is.

The procedure is simple:

Put gear lever in neutral.

Take foot off clutch.

Ask them what noise?

I have a HKS damped twin plate. Other than for the lightened flywheel it drives like a stocker.

So true that, always get that question...

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
