Hi all just wondering if anyone has experienced any issues with the npc twin plates. I drives fine but feels funny at high revs 8000+ it seems to get stuck to the floor a little when launching the car or changing gears quickly. My previous single plate npc clutch had no issues. Clutch is only 4000km old.

I also cracked my gearbox housing and lost 5th and reverse gear car is only pushing 400kw through a par straight cut gearbox.

I've got just a single plate NPC clutch that was supposed to be good for over 600hp, was slipping on the dyno around high 400's.

Current tune is around 420hp and haven't had any real issues but was disappointed with it slipping because it's the only thing holding me back from an e85 tune. Only went with them because people seemed to have no issues but I was let down.

I currently run a single 10" NPC clutch too and it's holding 407kW just fine.

You may need to adjust the clutch pedal as it might be riding the clutch ever so slightly.

In regards to the pedal sinking to the floor, are you still using the factory clutch damper? If so delete that POS ?

Yeah I just switched back to the single plate its holding fine so far, haven't launched the thing yet, are you running the standard gearbox still? If so how aggressive do you change into 3rd? It wasn't haven't this issue on the single plate it must be something wrong with the clutch, I did see rubbing marks on the springs of the clutch plate sending it back to npc.

I'm still running the standard gearbox, it's an Edward Lees special edition with close to 500k kms on it lol.

It's done 1x track day with the new motor and has exploded yet, has done over half a dozen track days with 372kW before the old motor let go.

I rarely smash it into 3rd hard, because it grinds every time above 7k rpm, so I need to literally ease it into 3rd when I shift and make sure I'm under 7k rpm. 

I wonder if you were also running the wrong bearing carrier which caused the throw out bearing to be riding on the pressure plate

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
