Hi Guys

Ive been ringing around doing the rounds on getting a new clutch and ive had jim berry say go single and Mercury Motorsport say go double.

Both have good reps and both are saying things that directly contradict each other, so, whats best?

bearing in mind theres a nismo twin in there at the moment which I quite liked the drive of.

If anyone else says 'new' i'm gonna kick them in the nuts!

Mercury are full of shit, what the hell are you doing ringing them anyway! You don't need to replace it. PM Dan (3lit3 32), he is the clutch MASTER! I guarantee it will be well under what Mercury quoted you. Hell you could find another workshop and it would be well under what Mercury quoted you.

And what's with the thread creation on every single question? You didn't listen to peoples' opinions from whoretown, so why is this any different.

That was installed, and he said it was custom made, wouldnt tell me the brand or who made it... Real shady if you ask me... I never have liked mercury much.

Dans not answering his phone :stupid:

I can get my current one rebuilt for under 1k, wont say where or who however. Then theres install costs...

Jim Berry wants 1500 for a rebuilt nismo twinplate. Mercury reckons a GTR will shread a singleplate.

Oh anna just for once, nothing personal and dont fire up, but *please* give up being the forum cop. I didnt break any rules...

The reason I created the thread is because in whoretown the shit gets lost and its hard to keep a track of it. If I loose something and want to come back to it, its hard to remember what page its on and I have to sort through it.

I havnt ignored anyones advice at all. People say rebuild but jim berry told me otherwise, said the nismo's arent good for rebuilds. I have to weight his experciance against his business objectives and then add in what people on this forum say.

Also isnt mercury a sponsor of this club? Thats why I rang them...

Yeh take your own advice and steer clear! If it was a brand that was good, they'd tell you. If you order your own OS TS2CD it will handle your power easily (they are rated to 600hp) and they cost $2400)

Dan is busy during the day and at night as well as he has family commitments. Basically if you leave him a message, he WILL respond, don't worry about that.

If you can get a twin rebuild for under $1000 then FARKING WELL DO IT!!! That is a hella good deal! Dan can take care of installation at his work, and they will give you a fair price on it too!

Actually you know what? You can do whatever you like big boy. I like that kind of toughness in a man :stupid:

Jim Berry will say anything that goes against twin plates. They work, regardless of whether he likes it or not.

i vote for less shit fight, more useful info posted in this thread...

I believe if you have a read, I have posted more useful info that shitfighting. Ian likes to take everything personally and to the heart. It's his 'thang'.

I have considered offering him that service.

Back on topic though. Ian, if you have the $ then get a OS Giken triple plate or double plate.

Just make sure that if you plan on upgrading power in the near future that you get a clutch that will cope with your power output.

I think the doubles handle 600ish and the triples can do up to 850hp.

I have to agree with mrbenno, I've seen how his car goes with the clutch and he didn't have the usual issues most people complain about with the extra plates.

Using what is commonly used isn't a problem, it's the best idea! Proven and working, why stuff with it.

If you like yours, get it rebuilt. And if you asked already, and people answered asking again really wasn't needed.

Surely you can wait for Dan, unless you've run the clutch into the ground and are now risking your flywheel... which is just a stupid thing to do as everybody can tell when their clutch is going... sometimes for the better service you have to wait, dan is but one man.

lol I dont really have the dollars for OS Genkin. Im hoping the rebuild for 800-900 I can get from a friend is the go, but I will hold of and wait for dans reply.

Also main reason I was asking is because I was told by jim berry, who would probably know when it comes to clutch's, to go with a tough single.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
