hi guys, my dad recently got his hands on an OS Giken Flywheel, and twin plate 5 puck solid center clutch that came out of a c34. it needs new clutch plates, but seeing as though he rebuilds clutches they are worth next to nothing, and the clutch/flywheel/rebuild will cost me nothing as he wil do it... should i change up from a stock clutch.i know the gear changes will be more harsh, and might be a bit of a rougher ride, but im not using the stag as my daily anymore, so its not a big issue.

opinions? anyone else got a solid 5 puck twin plate that can comment on driveability?

cheers.

Depends what your going to use the clutch and car for? I would say no unless it's a hardcore car. There was a thread recently where someone purchased a car with one of these and swapped it out for a less harsh setup.... Would be a tough bit of gear but all depends on its use

thats what i was thinking, i just sold my toy car(r33) to scale down in power, and im only doing very mild mods to the stagea... aiming around the 260rwkw mark. i was personally thinking about putting in an NPC organic single, which was suggested by someone else, but seeing as though this clutch was sitting there in my old mans shop it was worth contemplating. im not to sure about the clutch itself or if its possible but i could have some custom sprung center plates made up, my old man has done me custom clutches in the past, i guess id have to talk to him, clutches really arent my thing lol, just like performance jap engines arent his haha, he is a holden man through and through.

I think your better off doing both, fixing the current twin plate and selling it to someone that will use and abuse and just get yourself the NPC and maintain the drivability and enjoy your car..... Personal opinion only :)

A twin-plate has its advantages (like a lighter pedal feel compared to a single of similar power handling capabilities), but if you want a twin-plate, go for a full-face one. I just recently replaced an Exedy single plate (was supposed to be a heavy duty) with a Nismo Super Coppermix twin, and the Nismo is so much nicer to drive with!

      I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.

      My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.

      I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all.

      Ignore the monster truck ride hide, I messed up on the offsets and widths and ended up ditching them a few weeks later when my coilovers didnt fit

      I always drive with the tire pressure gauges showing the PSI because I'm paranoid about getting a flat tire and not knowing then keep driving and tear it apart. No amount of goo is going to fix a shredded tire. My Q60 has the goo and the V36 had the goo too. Never used it but I have used the pump to pump up the tire to get home. Then I fixed it with a plug. Wasn't keen on the goo.
