I have just bought a 32 gtr it currently runs about 260kw atw will be pushing to to about 300-320 atw soon/

i currently have a OS Gikon triple plate in it, but as you all probably know is bloody hard to drive, I am getting used to it by my partner is not happy and not getting it, stalling all the time even whne letting the clutch out slow, is there anything else on the market that will do the job that is a bit more user friendly, i dont really give the car a hard time, I dont take it to drags, its mostly a sunday driver for me.

Yup Jim's clutches are good.

But don't be fooled into thinking a full monty (mines in a R33 GTR) is fun to drive around every day in traffic. Nice light clutch pedal but the bite is on or off and they don't like a slip style take off very much. Once you're rolling no issues.

Shiite I still stall mine occassionally trying to take off quietly (damn it's embarrassing) - as for the other half she won't even try any more (not that I encourage her as listening to her slipping the clutch is just too much to bear and I can sence it will be a short clutch life if treated that way).

But if you have a high powered car you are going to have a bitey clutch no matter which way you go if it is going to do the deed.

Big advantage of Jim's full monty is at least you don't have the multi-plate rattles sitting around in neutral.

Thanks Wrrr, I have had a drive in a 33 GTR with a full monty clutch, to me it felt a lot easier to make a smooth quick take off, its obviously a lot lighter then my triple plate. I think my clutch bites harder then the full monty, so that to me seems much easier, I will try to get the $ for one soon.

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
