The solid centre os gikens are a prick to drive, I went from a sprung twin to a solid quad - combine that with a 2way diff and its a pig at low speed.

The sprung os twin's are like a std clutch to drive and great in a daily, I'd recommend going that way if your making <450-500rwhp.

Interested how you'd go about modifying this?

That design is always going to be tough to drive, dont see what having two three or four plates has to do with it.

30% more surface area on the friction material is always going to make it more harsh to drive. Sprung or unsprung plays a part also but if you want to make an OS triple into a very nicely driveable twin, then you take it to NPC.

NPC clutches are the regular plate style last I saw... didnt know they could also modify the style pictured above.

Yes, they can modify them but the catch is that a triple can only be rebuilt as a twin. The plates are thicker so he can only fit 2 plates in where OS fit 3.

The twins can still be rebuilt as twins.

I have had a few triples done in the past. They drive so nicely afterwards

heel and toe on downshifts: helps stopping compression lock when your releasing the clutch quickly. my mates R34s got a Tripple plate clutch as well and damn its difficult when your stuck in traffic but i love it :thumbsup: especially once you get it going and shifting.

what about a Nismo slave cylinder upgrade? apparently i heard that this will make the car easier to drive when you have a multi-plate clutch??

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
