hey black32 ive got a balck32 too hehe:D

i dont mind so much the parking and the slow driving hassels it will cause that jus goes with the territory likethe rest of the hassals that go along with hi-po cars.

Not that im complaining or anything i wouldnt have it any onther way

My biggest concern is take-offs as traction is a problem already

do you find that your tiptoeing on take offs or are you still able to drill it off the mark???

I can take off like normal, without tiptoeing it, as well as drilling it whenevr I want.

Give yourself a month to get used to it though.

BTW I've got my car in the shop now coz it split the clutch hose due to it being old, and the clutch is heavy as, so replace it when you do the upgrade.

When i installed my puck clutch i wish instead i had installed an R32 GTR OE clutch. Im sure it would hold the power of stock turbo, even up to 200kw with small aftermarket turbo.

It would have all the driveability of stock unit, handle some moderate abuse (any clutch can be fried) and would have been cheaper.

Whether the puck clutch is that much harder on the drivetrain or not, i dont know. I suspect they are as they sure as hell sound/feels like it, so cant imagine the gearbox/driveshafts/diff are immune to additional loading transmitted thru the drivetrain.

brass button clutches can destroy diff's, axles, tailshafts, and gearboxes.

i am getting a 1 piece tailshaft, and if i blow up my diff, i will just get a mini spool.

but when you are building a performance car the brass button cluth does give u better acces to the power.

either clutch is good for the power though.

just like saying how longs a piece of string.

many answers

i have never driven a twin plate, but a friend with a r32 gtr has a twin plate, and he says it is also on/off.

you cant ride any clutch and expect it to be good for it. But the full face clutches are just easier to do it in.

twin plates are very expensive, and not really warranted for say 200rwkw. if you can afford it twin plates are better than brass buttons, but not really warranted unless you got a hipo motor to back it up.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
