Hi guys and girls,

 

So in the market of buying a twin plate as single plates aren’t rated to the power I am making. Car is making 400kw at the rear. I 3a7fae4e-1b8a-4d62-95e5-4998f3463302.jpgHaven’t heard good things about xtreme and exedy is 2500+.Also heard clutchs from Japan don’t give warranty. I’m happy to pay between 1500-2k for a new one. Does anyone have any recommendations?

 

Cheers

The Nismo twins are the usual first suggestion around here.  Not sure about your budget though.  I think once you decide you have to spend more than ~$750 for a clutch, you just pay as much as you have to to get the right clutch.  $2.5k at Just Jap.

I just went through this.  Ended up getting a Nismo Coppermix twin from RHD Japan.  Very happy.  I had an Exedy twin in it before that.  Wasn't a big fan and it didn't last, even with only 245rwkw.

There’s a lot of different opinions even from local mates. Has anyone tried the exedy triple plate as they’re pricey on rhd but still cheaper then the exedy twin plates from dealers. I kind of want to have it future proof aswell seeing as the power mods won’t stop where they’re at the moment

If you're in the Sydney area (which I believe you are) go visit Scott at Western Clutch. 

He can mix and match new clutch parts to suit your requirements. He has all the clutch pressure plate load testing tools so he's able to modify your clamp depending on your requirements and future power goals. 

He's put together a circuit clutch for me in the past when the car was making 372kW and the same clutch is still in the car. I suspect it won't handle the new turbo setup though lol. 

Yeah down in Wollongong man. I am going to go ahead with a triple or quad plate os giken what’s everyone thoughts? How’s Scott’s pricing with the clutch’s? I’ve heard good things about npc. I’m making 400kw now but plan to go more so I want it extra future proof lol

Scott is good with pricing, I initially had a NPC clutch that I put in but whoever owned the car before me installed the wrong throw out bearing carrier when they installed some eBay special clutch and it kept riding the clutch - which prematurely destroyed it.

So Scott re-used my NPC pressure plate and reduced the clamp load down to 1.7 tons and installed a xtreme disc with new bearings, new carrier, replaced my clutch fork (old one was fractured) even changed my rear main seal and if I remember was under $900 for all that work (including parts).

That is service.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
