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

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 :)

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...

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
