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!

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
