haha, good timing :(

Yeah i was going to say, ive seen what one of these turbos can do to a clutch (broad statement, i know). On a mates one he's gone through a few clutches (twins) and he now has a nismo triple, i drove it last month, and the thing is so solid!

He has the OS 3 speed gearset in it, so every time you stop its like using normal 2nd gear to start off, and it just went off like a normal car as long as you engage it under 2000rpm, which is easy to do, after 15 mins i had it all sorted :(

The (his nismo triple) triple grabs very hard, thats for sure, and wont let go either. He's said he'd rather the OS as its heaps easier to drive

Oh, wait, i just read how much power you're running, dont bother with a twin. The car ive referred to has 330kw atw and it kills twins, if you're running 600+ atw thats like 447kw plus. If there is a twin that takes that sort of abuse (and there probably is) i bet it costs an arm and a leg, and rebuild time would be a wallet killer!!! e.g. the nismo twins are worth around $1500 to rebuild, so cheaper to buy new each time

I dont know anything about the driveability of the carbon exedy one except the cost, but it would be pretty good, still, power.......

Hope this helps you out :(

Talk to Jim Berry @ Italia spares in Stones corner, Brisbane. (07) 38479999 Tell them Deren told you to call. He's got mine at the moment. I think maybe on holiday but his business partner will help you out.

jim berry may build good clutches but i would personally never re-use a standard flywheel (or even worse lightened standard flywheel) with a heavy duty pressure plate/clutch plate combo, especially in a high powered car that does a little drag etc. in this last year alone there have been 2 GTRs I know of that have had this type of combo explode on them. one of their cars is now pretty much completely rooted. the realy miracle is neither of those guys was hurt.

if the standard flywheels are in good condition then there isnt any reason for them to explode. If you go using a flywheel that is warped, cracked etc then youd expect for it to go bang sometime. But to say you wouldnt use a standard flywheel with any heavy pressure plate/clutch is pretty silly.

i just wouldn't that's all, not ever on my GTR. they are not always obviously damaged/heat affected. but the fact is after years of use, then combine that with either lightening, or adding a heavy duty pressure plate, and aggressive friction material or both and you have potential for disaster. not saying it will happen, but the possibilty is there. couple that with decent power, and a few big launches and in my mind it's tempting fate. new flywheels are cheap, or even cheaper if you buy something like an OS/nismo/ORC multiplate.

having seen a number of standard flywheels explode now (not just in GTRs either) is enough for me to not risk it. whether you do is up to you, but seeing a piece of flywheel fly hard enough to penetrate my friends bell housing, trans tunnel, finger and then clean through the roof is enough for me.

just ebay a os-giken twin plate. sprung centre. TS2CD. or bigger. the r3c is a nice clutch but could take some getting used to.

a nismo twin will ware out quickly. dont get an ORC as they get enevan plate ware.

getting a bullshit tripple isnt really nesesary but if ones available go for it. coz it will last alot longer than a twin :laugh:

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
