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 :)

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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
