Just had a secondhand OS Giken twin plate fitted today. Works great except I seem to have to ride it in first for traffic take offs would this be wearing it out excessively. Also when at idle with clutch depressed there is a bit of a rattle heard from the clutch. Otherwise revs and bites hard. Feels like a different car. My experience with this type of clutch extends as far as a half hour now. Im sure I will get used to it.

Hi Prank,

Not being rude or anything but I think you will find the clutches like yours definately don't like being ridden or slipped.

If fact I know of quite a few people who replace their "Bass ass HD" clutches every 12months, simple becasue they don't drive them correctly.

Basically you should be trying NOT to slip the clutch because they will wear faster if they slip

IE ceramic puck clutch will wear like grandma's 10 year old undies if slipped. Just think of what different types of cements and roads do to your tyres :) The rougher the road, the more chunks it takes out of your tyres

Anyway, hopefully your's will be aok, cause I know from putting a multiplate in mine that clutches cost far to ****ing much.

Cheers,

Tim

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
