Hey everyone,

May I ask for you're advise on this? I'm new to having a twin plate clutch. Either my clutch is gone to crap or I suck at driving lol. I have driven many different manual cars for the past 10 years with no problems. So I would like to think that I'm at least decent at it by now lol. Here's the situation.

I bought the GTR from a co-worker about a month ago. He complained that he didn't like the clutch and I second his opinion!

-I have to take off really slooowwwwww.

-The grab point is all the way off the floor and is very unforgiving. If I had to describe the amount of space my foot has to move when slipping the plates it's a centimeter lol.

-And the worst part about it is! About 2 out of 10 times, the clutch makes a horrible and very loud grinding noise.

-I get the normal rattle when the peddle is depressed.

The grinding noise is what most concerns me. Judging from where the grab point is my guess is that the clutch is on it's last leg. All I know is that it's an Orc clutch/ unknown mileage.

Help!

welcome to a twin plate.....!!!!

i would suggest you remove it unless there is a reason for it being in there...IE power?? if it is a daily and can handle a single plate then do that as it will solve alot of hassles

clutch shudder is normal with these are they are basically on/off (engaged or not) specially when you get close to the biting point

There's really no need for a twin plate. My gtr is virtually stock accept for coilovers, cold air intake and power fc.

"Clutch shudder" sorry for being a newb but are your referring to the spinning rattle noise when depressing the peddle/ disengaging?

Or is that what that terrible grinding noise is when taking off? Haha it's loud enough that everyone within 25 feet will turn their head haha

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
