Interesting development!

Carlo, I have decided to go for an ATS carbon twin-plate, so unfortunately your Exedy clutch will not get a run this time, but I think it would be great for all of us if we could address the issues raised by Risking and Dazmo... In addition to the above two comments, I also heard of instances of the clutch shearing the flywheel bolts (below pic)...

As you can imagine, cars on this website (and in this section specifically) make pretty high power and torque numbers, so it would be great if I could put Exedy back on our lists for the next clutch that we all will inevitably have to buy...

I was definitely drawn (and also at the same time.... apprehensive) about the flywheel design. It looks extremely light... Possibly TOO light? Are you able to give us some weight specs of the clutch (total), clutch discs and flywheel?

Cheers,

Andrew.

Nothing doing :D

Car is sitting very stationary in a corner of John's workshop until my clutch comes... I've been told "about a week".

Sorry Daz, but I couldn't pull out of the purchase. Once they have your money, there ain't no getting it back :(

we put a exidy twin in the targa car for the v8 supercar support race, i think it was a carbon one by the price (dad just got it fitted and didn't tell me much about it). But dad kept over heating it on the start line, seems it dosn't like being revd for very long on the line. Which left him with clutch slip for 1/2 a lap (he backed off till it gripped again) Never had that problem with the sports ceramic that we run in targa.

After chopping and changing about eleventy billion times, I'm currently waiting on a Nismo Coppermix Twin Plate (Competition Spec)

Nothing wrong with that Andrew, I have a super coppermix twin plate and must say its the best clutch I've had in regards too how light it is on the leg and has quite a bit of give on taking off. It's not a ON/Off sort of clutch that jerks or stalls if not given heaps of revs..

Other clutches I have used are Nismo G-MAX twin plate, Exedy twin plate and OS twin plate.

Oh, and my car did see the track quite a bit, handling 350rwkws no problem....

Exactly. Hence why its standard issue in the ZTUNE...

Hi Jack, and good choice Andrew. You realise your car is late model R32 and has pull type clutch, so you will need to convert everything over to push type? I guess who you bought this from advise on this? That silver R32 GTR here the silver one has one of these clutches, and nice to drive yet strong.

FYI car is on hoist looking at us, waiting, with The SLot Car sleeping underneath atm.

if he ordered the right nismo coppermix clutch (ie a late 32/33 pull one) then he wont need the converter stuff. they make a compatible clutch so you don't have to convert. :down:

ouch!

ahh well even if its the wrong one its easy enough to convert the box to push, and gives a better selection of aftermarket clutches too.

those os/giken style pull to push kits on the other hand sound like a silly idea

Hey all...

Yep, I know that I have a PULL gearbox.... I made sure that I ordered a PULL version, so it should bolt straight on :P

Clutch should be here soon, so hopefully the white whipper snipper will be moving under its own power again soon!

Hey Risking

Would be very interested to hear about what broke , in the Twin Plate Exedy Carbon-R Kit , As i mentioned to merli any info on this style of kit would be fantastic , Reason for asking i'm the Qld Sale's Rep for Exedy Australia , All an any feed back on the kit would be fantastic !

Cheers

Not to go off on a tangent too much from this build thread, but seeing you posted I shall post the crap your company sold to me, then didn’t want to know about it nor want to inspect it for a design fault.

This clutch, was installed by a clutch specialist, this clutch lasted not even 72hrs. I wanted a clutch to use in my car as my OS twin plate was getting rebuilt. The phone monkey at the time was adamant this would be up to the task…

To be honest as this was a couple of years ago, I’m not even phased if you reply.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
