Hi Mate

I just got a clutch master twin plate 850 series twin plate clutch for my rb build, but after reading the manual i noticed that i need a torque plate when using a aluminum flywheel, because the bolts can cut into the flywheel when i'm tighten them or worst come loose. Does anyone know why the kit doesnt come with this plate??? do i need it still????

Were can i get one from.???

thanks in avance

Your kidding right?

no i'm not, we dont have those over here. I googled it and saw an ugly car that comes with a inline 6. Is that it.???????lol

I was thinking, can i use some steel washers on the bolts insted of the whole ring.??? The washers should protect the aluminum flywheel when i start tightening it.

I acn also test fit the flywheel to the crank before i start to build the motor to make shore that the bolts of just right, length and all. what do you guys think????

ok i contacted clutch master today, and they said that i can go ahead and install it with out a torque plate, with i dont agree with, they also said that they are in the process of making a torque plate for this application.

I was wondering if the washer idea would work. 2-3 weeks for the torque to be made a mail to me. Well i have made up my mind to wait for it I will not install it with out a torque plate. If i didn't need it they wouldn't be making it. thats what i'm thinking.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
