I got a twin plate exedy put in last weekend, with a new thrust bearing from nissan...

Its been perfect all week... the pedal is heavier and the engage point was only just up off the floor (how a new clutch should be?)

Last night something must of happened because the engage point is now all of a sudden all the way out (like my old clutch was just before it died)...

any ideas what this would be?

is there much involved in getting a Nissan patrol clutch into my R33?

Its it a bad or good idea?

What kind of parts are involved other than the clutch plate?

They are very heavy and thus slow down the response of the engine, kinda the reverse of a light flywheel.

You get a fricton plate, a pressure plate and a thrust race in the kit.

Hope that helps :)

thanks Sydneykid for clearing some up....

so, rattle is normal...even though its so loud normal ppl thinks ur car is stuffed :(

pivot ball hasnt broken - i've whitnessed my other bros gtst when that happened...

Emre - yep its a secondhand orc twinplate... very new though 3.9mm plates...

i have tried bleeding it again.....this time taking out the dampener system as well

like my 180.....to bleed the slave cylinder it needs to be pushing against something right?

ie. clutch fork > pressure plate.....i found that it wasnt going anywhere until i physically

pushed the fork against the S.cylinder then it started to pick up...

i dont think anything is broken......at the start i thought that i might have machined

a bit too much off the carrier too but why would it work fine during the 500ks?

which leads me to believe that somehow somethings moved, but how?

when bleeding i tried putting something between the fork and the S.cylinder tip and it

felt much better (pedal) but didnt wanna try starting car on the stands....

i will probably remove the dust boot and take a look inside..

Hey Sk - old thread and all. I have a Patrol clutch in my car.. are they heavier than the equivalent skyline HD clutch (single plate)?

Seems to feel like a decent clutch but am I loosing out on a bit of response?

Not that I'm going to change it but wondering what power it is good to - around 230rwkw?? Its a bit over a year old - so pretty new still

Thanks

hey i have read a heap of these clutch threads and cant find a straight out answer. I need a clutch to hold around 280rwkw in an r33 series 2 box...

im assuming launching in a button in the wet up hill in traffic is impossible...so i am wanting to avoid that....what are my options?

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Old thread but I'll thow my 2 cents in :)

I've just installed an O.S.Giken TSR2CD Twin Plate Clutch and so far I'm impressed !! It has a MUCH lighter pedal feel than the old TS2C/D and TS2B/D. It has the same feel as a stock GT-R clutch ( which takes a lot of getting used to :P ). It's still rated to 600hp at the engine and is very driveable. The new clutch kit comes with a new release bearing and carrier already assembled. Cost is around the $2k mark but is SO worth it when you next get caught in traffic :P

BTW If anyone wants a really good 2nd hand O.S.Giken Twin Plate Clutch that will hold up to 250rwkw for R31, R32 or R33 at a great price, PM me :(

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
