the main factors are:

pressure plate clamping load

sprung or solid centre

type of plates (full face, puck style, buttons of friction material?)

type of friction material used (carbon, ceramic, high metal content, composite...)

agree 100%. talk to Jim B re your needs and he'll give you some options. i learned quite a lot talking to him about why pivot points etc in the clutch design are critical in making a good strong clutch not drive like a dog. i eventually decided on an option - he took my stock GTR pressure plate and gave me back a ''full monty'' with an organic plate. stock pedal pressure but quicker uptake and slightly less travel. still easily modulated though. so far held 267 rwkw on an RB26/30 and easy in traffic.

I went with the Nismo twin, also got the clutch line and pedal bracket. I don't think the bracket made a difference to the feel of the pedal, its just a stronger bracket, the line however has improved feel a lot.

ive just replaced my clutch slave cylinder with a nismo item (R32 GTR) and ive got OS twin plate and it has made it a lighter the pedal feel also replaced with nismo clutch line from the separation box to slave, dont know if that has a contributing factor in the feel of the pedal.

Was thinking about the nismo pedal bracket too but opted not too.

Topaz mite check out the Nismo slave clyinder, to reduce pedal pressure.

I was convinced that a JB was the go then got advice to talk to NPC in Archerfield Brisbane. http://www.npcperformance.com.au/cgi-bin/m...main=nicsclutch

At $814 it's well priced too.

Great clutch built from a nismo single plate organic but strengthened to handle the possible 360-380rwkw I intend to extract from my GTR33. I will do some track and some drag and it is too easy to drive.

I had a standard replacement installed not long ago because I thought mine was squealing but the squeal is still there so I am pretty sure now that its the brake booster. If i hold my foot in the right position the squeal is constant....

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
