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?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
