Currently Im running a dual diafram clutchnet PP with 6puc sprung disk and a fidanza ally flywheel, thing shudders A LOT, its not a very nice formualtion they used for the disk pad's. For now it has been ok, land up with a very sore left foot and battle to pull away in the wet or up my driveway without chriping the tires.

I am not looking towards somthing with lighter clutch pedal effort, and slightly more HP capability to suit the new motor with around 400kw, Been looking at some twin plate's and from previous experience with the old school twin plates it leaves me with a sour taste, is there anything on the market you guys use that is not to brutal with shudder and clutch load yet can hold some decent power? Did a search but couldnt find anything useful.

The car is used on the street with very ocasional track usage, and the odd drag with fairly small M/T ET streets

Thanks

What is the pedal weight like? I need somthing that wont kill me in a little bit of traffic, I nengun dont sell them, any idea who does or rough price idea?

Take a look at the Nismo Super Coppermix twin plate, i haven't personally used it but from what i hear its very similar to a standard organic clutch in terms of drive ability around town and is rated for 600hp.

ATS carbon twin plate

is the stuff factory pedal soft just no slip

They are a touch out of my budget unfortunatly,

Looks like a toss up between the Nismo supercoppermix twin and the ORC 709, has anyone got first hand experience with the orc 709?

Contact jim berry in Bris. He made me an organic clutch for my gtr. done heaps of launches and a couple of sprint meets & hasnt let me down. easy to use in traffic & light under foot, doesnt shudder either.

People go overboard with expensive twin, triple & button clutches but it isnt required or practical for most applications.

It only cost me about $350 too.

iv got a orc 2win plate button, its light under the foot, a lil noisy when u step on it, but takes a long time to get use to and not the best on hils or ups n downs or TRAFIC. in fact its real bitch to park in tight spots but u get use to it how ever i always avoid trafic even if it means ill just sit n have a drink till 6 .. not worth the head ache..

might try the nismos next to see..

I had huge problems in my old 33. Went through 2 exedy's under wty then gave up. My old man who is a mechanic got me onto somebody in lismore he has known for 30+ years that did an awesome job on a nice single for me. Held my 345rwkw no problems no matter how i drove it :)

Have a chat to Dave Write on 0266216495. Best thing i ever done. Cheap, quick and he said he builds a few big hp skyline clutches for a few workshops in sydney

I'm using an NPC single to hold around the horsepower you are looking to make. Pedal weight is as light if not lighter than stock. Its a bit sudden but quite easy to control once you learn it.

Kills the berry single I had prior to this. Berry clutch was just as grabby but way heavier pedal and with less clamping pressure than the NPC.

been more than 18 months now since I went with the Nismo supercopper mix twin plate, best clutch I have ever used! and as with all things car I landed up with 150kw more than antisipated in the power department... The Nismo clutch feels no pain when the T04z is at full tilt.

I stripped it out last week to change the N1 oil pump, clutch after 20 000km's of abuse still looks like new. Still running as smooth as stock and the only con is a tiny little bit heavier than stock clutch, probably within 10%.

Sounds to me like you've answered your own question. :P

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
