oh thats average man!! lol maybe hit up clutch indestries? they might have something for ya or make one??

I use a custom single plate organic built by a guy in Sydney, but he doesn't supply to public. It's possible though to arrange something for you if you're interested. I run 540rwhp with one, have done so for 2 years and i'm yet to experience any slip. Costs about 1350 for a pull type, PM me if interested.

you can get a single to hold that power, Jim Berry etc, ( some people will rave about them, ) but with a shit load of clamp, which can be hard on other parts, gearbox etc

Just get a twin thats rebuildable for a reasonable price, NPC, OS Giken etc, I went through an Exedy twin and a heavy single within only about 15000kms each with only 400rwhp, had an OS Giken triple on with 650rwhp for over 20000kms and still good..

food for thought

I went the big clamp single and broke shit :closedeyes:

does anyone know if exeddy twin plates are rebuildable? im leaning towards that way now

yeah they are but its nearly the same cost as a new one.. I looked into NPC's custom twin and they might cost around $2000 to start with, but only about $500 to rebuild, and rebuildable many times, unlike Exeddy

Street driven = Nismo Coppermix. Hands down the best clutch I've ever used. You'd think it was factory that's how light it is.

My OS Racing twin, nasty nasty piece of work. Thing will never die though, but it's harsh to drive and you really have to give it a lot of RPM to get off the line.

+1, drove friend's 26 powered GTS4 with Coppermix, fantastic clutch, felt better than stock clutch.

I had OS Triple in my previous GTR (was a daily driver), very harsh clutch but I loved it especially the rattle while it's cold - dunno why.

If u want a good twin as ash said nismo seems the right path as peddel feel is nice and easy i have exceedy twin worst fkn thing ever my eng is comin out soon ill check % on it and if its above 60% u can have it cheep im going nismo lol

Just got the Nismo Coppermix Twinplate standard version installed on my car. Love the soft pedal but like everyone else said, its still a twin so you cant really ride much. I have yet to test launching it but was told it'll take some serious abusing.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
