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?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
