thats a bit xtreme haha

go os triple plate unsprung, one of the best clutches i have driven with :)

i didnt even have my clutch booster working and it was fairly light under foot and driveable

plus its designed to take decent hp, ive heard quad plates are also very good, but with gt-ss thats getting a little carried away

wow all the top shelf stuff in this car and its crap like this that stops the car. it realy shows you get what you pay for. haha.

ive never seen a good extreem clutch.

id be going for a OS as i like the light weight design of them. but ive heard you can get similar stuff from excedy now.

Merli my personal advice would be to go for an ATS twin plate carbon clutch I use these in my missus R32GTR(305awkw) daily driver and my R33GTR and have one that will be going into the R33 when i do the getrag conversion. They are a great clutch i cant reccomend them highly enough once you use one you will never go back to any other brand this is just based on my personal experiance I have used OS, excedy, Nismo and would rate that ATS much better than all of them.

DJRIFT - Absolutely... But to be honest, I thought it would last longer...

daz - Mmmm... carbon :( I'll have to see what the budget stretches to... I've had a pretty fearsome spending spree lately :D

i drove a few gtr's in my time and the ones with carbon clutches were by far the best.. (most were just quick drives from the docks to the warehouse)

i wish i had a choice when it came to mine, but after 3 different clutches one being an Ats carbon... i ended up with an Os triple for a jza80 supra fitted.. :D

      Rear Main Seal (RMS)

      6.3-8.3nm....pretty damn light those fine m6 threads in the aluminium retainer plate are very easy to strip

      Rear Main Seal (RMS)

      By ev1r34 · Posted

      What are the torque specs for those 6 bolts on the retainer plate and 4 oil pan bolts? I'm currently tackling this job during an auto to manual conversion... I thought this would a 5 minute job!

      Forged piston skirt coating or no coating?

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Tryna decide if I should get a skirt coating on my cp 2618 forged pistons that im about to order. Anyone have first hand experience with a forged RB with coated or non coated piston skirts? Is it worth it and does it make much difference? And for people who went with 2618 pistons with no skirt coating how long has your engine lasted? The engine is an rb25/30 and main concern is  that It will be a daily car and will probably see a fair bit of short distance driving, have been told by my machine shop and my tuner that generally a forged engine lasts around 40,000kms before needing a rebuild. Would a skirt coating make much of a difference? cheers

      Can anyone shed some insight on this Turbo?

      From now on read it as minus 5 and minus 7 instead of dash, and you're correct...

      R32 GTR fuel gauge not working despite fixing fuel level sender

      By XoRoKu · Posted

      Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
