why dont you pm 2rismo and ask him. I know exactly what he will tell you.

I've driven an OS twin plate.. It is very very nice. :wave:

Pedal is light and it grabs hard but still has a little give for nice street driving.

Ceramic single plates can be a pain in the arse.

But the twin plate is double the price of a ceramic single plate.

cameron Extream 5 Puk single plate clutch with pressure plate, Sprung center - Around $800

with that 5 spuk single plate. i was looking at one from just jap and there are to of them that got my attention. the 5 Button Ceramic and the one next to it but i duno wat one is betar

could they possibly do a good job?

thnx :cooldance

I have the same clutch as Cameron........i can't speak highly enough of it........it holds well, bites well, yet is VERY comfortable to use on the street.

The problem with multi polate clutches is that they wear out just as quick as a single plate........yet cost twice as much to purchase and/or re-co...........

id listen to what i am telling you, pm 2rismo. That is if you want the best clutch for your money.

Yeah but it's about the appropriate part for the application. You can't honestly say that clutch is going to be the best clutch for every purpose? Is so I want one, as long as it's adjustable, can hold 1200hp, and has a chev input spline :D

im sure jim could knock one of those up for you. I know what id rather buy ,a clutch that has been properly set up on a test bench to suit each application or some generic crap that clamps all over the place and is not set up correctly.I know what im talking about on this one doughy'.

I gota brass button, is great. Was a little stall prone at first but you get used to it like all things, very on/off thats for sure. I was driving my dads corolla for only a couple days & when i went back to my skyline it really made me realise how on/off my clutch is compared to a normal car.

italia spares??? what exactly are they?? are they a spare parts wrecker or a clutch specialist???

iam am also interested in a clutch for my GTR which is slipping on fourth and fifth gear. This Jim Berry fellow how do i get in contact with him? ive notice that u guys live in new south whales, have u met this imfamous jim berry in person? u quoted that he test each clutch on the bench for a particular application? is there a web site showing this or is it what his said over the phone? i believe lee wah has used one, is this why there is such a big hype? i dont see why any competant clutch place cant build a clutch to your specs especially in NSW, i always thought they would be a step ahead of the MAROONS :/ i just wanna make sure there good?

Honestly how can u say a clutch is good until u thrash it and then, it will tell u how many kms it held up for and what power figure it was good for? obvioulsy a more aggresive driver will go through a clutch more quickly then a conservative driver?

Is it true multi plates wear out as quick as single plates?

i ve spoken to Jim and he also rebuilds twin plates??? has anybody experienced this..... not to sure what he was going on about... Adrian can u help me out?

is it the compound that makes these clutches good? or the clamping pressure? whats this slip business?

or do i just go for a OS rebuild kit? :/ anybody had any experience with this pathway?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
