I think nismo GMAX is the only twin that doesnt rattle but i might be wrong. I actually like the rattle. Swaps ? haha

yes Nismo GMAX twins etc do not rattle.

Me, i prefer it to be honest. Just a bit of noise.

I love my OS Twin plate. Very nice to drive, not too bad in heavy traffic.

It can also be rebuilt as the plates can be had for around $600 each.

hehe...rattle is cool ^^

basically..to install a twin place you need

-twin plate clutch

-sleeve bearing (smaller diameter) instructions should have nissan part no.s

-sleeve carrier (shorter) ""

-forged pivot ball (nismo etc, highly recommended)

to get the best out of it i'd recommend

-stainless steel clutch line (increases response, takes out vagueness, also take out the clutch loop from original assembly)

-lager slave cylinder (nismo etc...decreases pedal pressure, better level of control, drive ie. parking)

only problem with multiplate clutches is when its time to replace them its very costly.

But they can handle alot of abuse, as long as you can thrash the car WITHOUT slipping the clutch at all they will last a long long time...

also i dont see how the nismo one would be any less hassle that installing an ORC type...

but they are both good clutches so either one would do well..

Exedy twin and tripple clutches come from the same parent manufacturer in Japan as the Nismo GMax. They both have a small spring loaded bracket between the plates that pushes them appart evently to try to eliminate the rattle.

Maybe if you get the clutch balanced properly before installing, it would disengage more evenly and not rattle. Dunno just thinking out loud.

Lunatic - I understand the pivot point and when you say sleeve bearing I assume this is the spigot bearing (Like this one http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/General...eedlespigot.jpg) But WTF is a sleeve carrier?

Can you give me any contact details ??...I have a NISMO G-Max twin plate that needs a couple of plates.

When you take the clutch apart it has the exedy part number mate

I've got a Nismo G-Max twin plate as well, it's an AWESOME clutch and yep no rattles, very grippy and isn't either on or off (sprung centre)

ok..the pivot bolt is the lil thing the clutch Fork 'pivots' on...

the bearing carrier is the thing the sleave bearing is pressed into..

the bearing carrier is attached to the clutch fork...

it slides up and down the main shaft when as you clutch in and out..

and the sleave bearing ofcourse, is what pushes against the pressure plate fingers..

this is for push type obviously...

you're right about the lil spring eliminating the rattle though..

The Nismo G-Max has been replaced now by the Nismo Super Coppermix single and twin plate series. The twin plate kit is supposedly rated at 640PS - Im currently waiting the arrival of mine and will post up my impressions of it after its fitted.

Sorry for resurecting this very old thread but it's the closest one I could find with alot of relevant info.

I ordered an ORC 709D twin plate clutch but I haven't received it yet.

Instructions are suposed included as this is a brand new clutch.

However I'd like to have all the necessary hardware when the clutch gets here, of course!

does anyone know of the nissan parts# that I will need? I already had a twin plate clutch(unknow brand)

but it's now busted. I had new NSK throw out bearing installed last year when I had my tranny replaced.

I don't know if it had a forged pivot bearing but it did last close to 50 000km. Any info will be greatly appreciated since I need to have everything installed by April 22nd since I have a Lapping Academy Weekend!

thanks guys :)

This will help you if someone can translate ?

From the above PDF can anyone see if it mentions the friction plate minimum thickness is and also what the part numbers are for replacement friction discs on the ORC 709D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
