Triple Or Twin Plate Clutches

[funkymonkey]

I use an OS Giken OS Giken STR2BD (which is not as harsh as a C apparently) twinplate in my daily. Its quite driveable in heavy traffic, and still gives enough grip for trackdays n the like. Regular clutches feel so shit now after using the twinny (not to mention my foot goes straight to the floor cos they don't give as much resistance). Although I'm kinda tired of people telling me there's something rattling on my car whenever I put the clutch in.

Got a K Style car shop twin plate in my silvia and it's a pain in the ass...

Mainly because when we did the auto to manual conversion we started running out of time so didn't get to do a full bleed of the clutch and never got round to finishing it so to get it in gear you have to push it down a fair way... but it won't start to engage again unless it's really close to the top

So instead of the engage/disengage point being at the same pedal position if you're doing a hillstart for example you push the clutch pretty far in then hold the revs up and slowly let it out until you can find the magical pickup point which usually ends up in either wheelspin or stalling or huge clutch riding

well isnt that your own fault for not properly bleeding the system... not really effective advice there.

I use to have 3 plate clutch and it was a nightmare to drive, now gone to 4 plate OS and it is great, a lot less pedal pressure required and you can slip the C$$p out of it. Quite loud when sitting there in neutral but once you push the pedal in it is a lot quieter. Best clutch I have ever had on the GTR.

For that type of $$ I'd be getting an NPC twin plate ($1800) + it's rated to 1000HP, got one in my GTST and it's user friendly and has taken a huge amount of abuse with 500RWHP.

i'm currently looking at replacing my fried OS Giken twin. im after a twin plate that has a heavy pedal feel, bites good and is not too harsh on the gearbox. id prefer a rattling clutch although i wouldnt base my decision on that.

also was wondering if anyone has got or driven a Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Competition Model ?

Easy to drive, takes abuse well, no noise, feels like a stock clutch thats a tiny bit grabbier than usual. Get it!

Iam now driving with exedy triple plate. It is a fcking nightmare, it is a killer. When i bought it, it was used... reason = low price. Now i would pay thousands of dollarz to get nice clutch. I ordered nismo coppermix twinplate... hope it is easier to drive in the traffic!!!!

Ps, turned off the engine four times with gay exedy in the same traffic lights... consecutively!!! that pisses me off.

Agreed.

i had a light switch ORC twin in my GTR32 and swapped it for the Nismo Twin.

All this talk of "big men" with "hardening up" and "get used to it"

A properly engineered product can take 1000hp and feel stock. Why would you make something difficult to drive if it doesn't have to be?

to be a "man"? lol

fark you guys are funny.
