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...

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
