I've always ran Button clutches in the past, with no failures yet.

My GTR clutch is on its last legs atm, so will stick with what I know and run a 5 puck brass Button Sprung centre in it, as they are very driveable, and reletively cheap (approx $500).

I'm not into drag racing so hard launches not really an issue for me :D

I'll join the OS gang. Got a O.S. Giken TS2CD in my R32 ( don't really need that much clutch I know ) but it's very easy to drive, locks up VERY WELL and the pedal pressure is not enough to break the pedal box. With the GT-R's you can add the NISMO big bore slave cylinder and get even better results. :D

My #1 choice would be the Jim Berry clutch. By far the friendliest clutch I've had which does what I want it to.

My #2 choice would be the OS Giken twin plate though. Solid clutch and gives a bit of slip unlike the HKS twin plate which is either on or off. Absolute POS clutch IMHO.

I installed a exedy twin, about 2.5k after toasting a h/p brass 6 button single, found the drivability much better on the twin, got to put up with the rattle though. had it about 6 months and havent been able to make it slip yet!

I think you kill just about kill any clutch in a high poformance 4wd if your constantly doing drag launches with it.

Agreed!

I had an HKS triple plate on my Supra and it was very very bitey. No good at all for driving in traffic as it's all or nothing.

Exedy twin plates seem to be really good on GTR's. By the sounds of things, they are quite similar to the OS Giken Twin plates as you are able to ride them a little bit

I didn't find the Exedy twin to be overly rattly.

Aren't the OS Giken clutches notorious for being really rattly???

Yeah mine not that loud, seems to come and go.

I think its got to do with how the imtermediate plate is held in place. On the exedy there (from memory) are 6 or 8 large key ways which the intermediate plate sits in. There are spring tabs coming off it to hold preasure between the fly wheel and the preasure plate. I sopose to centralise the intermediate plate when the clutchis dis-engaged and to stop the plate chattering on the key ways a little.

the O.S. type has a large cog type arrangment on the out side of the intermediate plate that splines into the flywheel, and looked to be quite a loose fit.

Any one had an HKS multi plate apart? Just interested how they are designed, as Im told they dont rattle at all?

Someones telling you porky pies. As I stated earlier, I had a HKS triple plate on the Supra and it was noticeably louder than the Exedy twin plate on the GTR. Maybe that was the difference between twin and triple plates rather than the brands themselves **shrugs**

EDIT: Or maybe my HKS clutch was a bit shagged?

heh, yeah probably the guy that told me that is a bit of a tool, never seen a car with an hks one in it myself. It makes sense that triples would be louder though, douldle the intermediate plates probably equals double the chattering noise?

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
