got a HKS twin plate in my 32.

doesnt have much power, 278rwhp 13psi (stock turbo)

seemed to be fine on the dyno on thursday,

yet started slipping chronically (in the later stages of the day) on saturday (drift comp) ... it struggled to get back into the pit bay :S

tried the car yesterday, seemed to be a tad better (only slipping to 3000 rpm ish). but it still slipping.

what could of caused it to slip?

i didnt really ride the clutch, didnt really clutch kick much, but i did hold the accelerator flat down when i spun :P

so, whats easier/cheaper ...

1) hks rebuild kit

2) new plates

3) upgrade to a different clutch ... been told i can get a OS Giken Triple Plate for $1800

Rebuilding can be cheaper, NPC performance clutches rebuilt my Nismo clutch for me, you can give them a call if you want, I posted it up there.

Be warned that many mechanics won't like your car been around the workshop for a week if they can't move it...

found genuine NEW HKS twin plate, friction plates for $378 delivered. i just need to work out if my current friction plates are PRO or MAX .. or can i use either??

ill be dropping the box this week, do all the work myself, so i wont need to worry about emo mechanics :thumbsup:

Also interested as I have a HKS twinplate that needs rebuilt but not sure what it is exactly.. couldn't figure out if it's pro or max..

Tocchi, where are those new friction plates from?

for one the gd pro's only came in triples..... the gd max came in twins. honestly not worth rebuilding with just plates due to the factory of the flywheel is gonna have hotspots all over it from slipping the ceramitalic plates. a proper hks rebuild kit will come with a whole new caged assembly with the plate inside and a loose plate for the flywheel side. been there done that 6000kms lata its slips once again. i do have alot more power then u tho near on 550 atw. if u want a good clutch rebuild without being a cheapskate as most ppl are either go to jim berry and get his custom setup carbotic plated twin plate guaranteed u wont slip that. and or direct clutch heard sum good things from them also

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
