Nismo twin plate got nothing on ATS. Not even same ballpark to an ATS carbon twin, let alone a triple. I Don't think Xtreme / Xclutch sell them anymore as they were repackaged ATS. Go to the Jap site

Yeah the Xclutch ceramic twin or Nismo twin will hold for a while, maybe even a full season or two with 500+Kw.Then the clutch will warp the metallic floating discs from heat, probably before the ceramic plates wear out and won't be able to get it into gear. It's all pretty relative to how the car is launched to how long they last. Another 32 here made it 3 seasons at 350rwKw with a Nismo twin before it cried enough for example.

Decent power car above, about what my R32 was on the 2.6 before Nitto 2.8. Crap 60ft and crap ET for140mph though. Mid 10's is do-able at 130mph. Should be well into the 9's with that MPH. Not to mention 500rwKw won't last long on stock bottom end.

The point I was making with the carbon ATS triples is they last nearly forever compared to everything else, which might hold the power but will wear out quicker. One season I spent 30k on clutches and gearboxes before the ATS.

Never looked back. Got one in my 330rwKw 33 and I don't think that car will EVER need a clutch ever again after looking at how it has performed in my 32. Good luck with everything.

Nah. Buy Nismo twin plate.

Average AF clutch bro lol.

I make a bit over 500kw atw and installed a new nismo twin plate c spec with flywheel. Doesnt slip but i reckon its at its limit.

10.6 @ 127mph - it's in my bottom signature. Was really laggy on 2.6 but managed 1.5 - 1.6 60ft with Mickey Thompson 255 ET street radials. Still running in Nitto 2.8 engine as we speak, so haven't run it yet. Haven't done the full power tune yet either. Red centre nats 4 is on the 1st and 2nd of September so I'll be on the dyno there with a figure to report. Once everything is tuned correctly I'll hit the strip after that. Hopefully 9's too but it'll run what it runs

Going 30 when it blows  I done 1.52 2nd launch  snapped  cv and night was all over would of been a high 9    be back next week

Snapped CV, wow. Yeah I was looking at the US driveshaft shop CVs in case that happens - $3k +

Just out of interest, what box are you running ? I was running a Trust / Quaife 6 speed dog until I broke it after about 2 years. Back to OS giken sychro for the moment. Maybe PPG next year.

That is crazy ! Well done ! I destroyed 3rd gear in my 32 stock box the first time I ever ran MT ET streets. Broke Trust / Quaife 6 speed straight cut dog box 3rd after about 40 - 50 mid 10 passes. Got a 5 speed Giken at the moment but I think it's PPG time...

Never had an issue but others have broken them. Thinking of selling it as I want to go back to a dog box so badly. Pity PPG is so $$$ for the fully optioned 5 speed straight cut set, like $13k for a gearset. $10k without mainshaft and assembly. Don't know if I can justify that.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
