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.

    • 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
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
