Hi guys,

After failing the pits with my triple plate ive decided to sell it (sold) as i didnt really like it anyway. Looking for something more streetable that wont slip with boost and wont have winging women or pit inspectors!

I guess it all depends on application and power,

has n1 turbos, hks cams, and 3.5" exhaust, looking to run about 1.2bar

Have been suggested a single plate, 9puk clutch plate with a heavy duty pressure plate. Would this be ok for street application with the power the motor above will give? Will be taking it to the drags of course as well so it needs to cop some 7k clutch dumps :)

Only other thing i can think of is a twin plate but ive heard some of these are as harsh as triples.

What are you guys running in your gtrs?

no diffinatley an osgiken twin plate

even me i can drive my dads gtr and i have only been driving manual for like 4 weeks,

this is cluthc feels like a single plate but then wehn ure give it to it, it responds and works like a twin plate

cya

Just going through the clutch shuffel at the moment. I am building a RB30/26 combo and am aiming for 350 rwkw. Been looking at the pros and cons of mulit plates. Dont like the confilcting info that Im being fed. Not to mention the cost ! Finally found a place that does a sprung single plate mulit puck plate with a pressure plate that clamps 1650kg. This combo has a slightly heaver feel on the peddal and has minimal shudder . The pucks on the plate are riveted on so you can replace them for a decient price( not around $1500 for most multi plates ) This seemed to convince me and the price which came in at around $800.

Hopefully its not like my single plate, its either in or out - mind you it doesn;t slip even with 350rwkw but it's not streetable, multi-plate for me next time!

I can recomend the OS Giken twin plates. good sh1t. I imagine the ORC ones are equally good.

both big jap companies that have lots of experience building clutches to suit GTRs.

I originally put in a 9 puck single and it disintergrated on me at Winton (circuit racing). Plate cracked in half basically.

Am now running the Nismo G Max twin and think it's super. My car is about 325rwkw's. (GTR)

I too am thinking of the Nismo G Max twin... as i don't see my clutch lasting more than Sandown...

where did you get it / how much all up installed?

andrew, next meet can i feel your clutch... phroawwww!! (seriously)

ive swapped out the triple for a xtreme 9puk with heavy pressure plate and its pretty much perfect for street, ive done a few dumps and it doesnt slip mind you im at stock boost. If it does ill get a twin later..

Couple good suggestions in this thread i think we should take note of - thanks guys

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
