Nismo 8.5 Twin Plate

[Speeddm]

OK I have had my GTR for 3-4 months now. It has a Nismo twin in it with low kms on it aprox 10-15k and well it slipping bad. Where do I go from here. New plates and put back together or OS Giken? Need some advice please. Car sees 70% street 30% Drag. It runs a 1.6 60' and a 12.6 1/4 at 109mph. I am under no disalusions I do use my car hard at the track. 7000rpm launch frequently on a prepped track.

All coments and recomondations welcome THanks

yeah if its not the rattely clutch it wares out quick.

r3c is my recomendation. pretty cheap atm.

the nismo replacment plates are around 400 each. but it will need to be all machined etc etc or it will ware out twice as fast.

i used to have one too. gmax2 thats why its sitting in my garage rusting cos its too fragile and costly to repare.

What is the drivability like with a triple plate? I have been looking at THe OS Giken and the Exedy. I drive the car on the street lots. And go on cruises with some Viper budies once amonth. I 1/4 mile it 3-4 times a year.

they are not to bad. pretty grippy. but nothing like the nismo tripple.

id say that the exedy is a good clutch to go with, i have the triplle plate from them, can be grabby but you get used to it. just be carefull that you dont send your gearbox to hell with those power launches, been there done that

seriously. i put a r3c in my car. and omg it is a easy clutch to drive on. very much like the street spec nismo twin. not far from standard.

seriously im so supprised how easy it is. and thats with the normal slave cyl.

my nismo tripple gmax spec3 was an absolute brutal clutch to drive. imposible.

oh. and cheapish to rebuild to.
