Thread Revive :

I too am having issue's with my ATS & Across Twin plate carbon clutch it didn't have much use it seems.

The clutch was re-serviced and checked over before installing measurement of the discs was very minimal.

After installing car was dyno tuned and it was slipping on the dyno.

Once i got it back i notice if i give it a little squirt from 2nd to 3rd it start's to slip and does not grab at all ( feel's like reving in neutral )

Does anyone know if this is normal or am i suppose to warm up the clutch somehow ?

Thanks need help desperately !

P.S for general driving it is 100% perfect

With carbon plates yes you are supposed to warm them up before hand by slipping them a little bit... hence why they are recommended for race cars and not street cars. Slipping when cold can damage plates then you are up for another rebuild.

Yep had the same thing with Carbonetics Twin plate. Instructions even said before hard driving "slip clutch 3-4 times to warm up", was shit couldn't even over take without it flaring. Track clutch only. Took it straight out.

Dam!

So many problems with carbon clutches. I had one in the rally car and it ran faultlessly at 9000RPM all day

Then again, it was only harnessing 118kW of Vtec goodness (and being a N/A 1.6L, probably about 150Nm)

I had an ATS Carbon single in my 33, (new) and had the same issues as described as the OP.

Was better when warmed up, but pulled it out after less than 6 month and it was pretty well shot.

Put in a Nismo GMAX twin plate and never looked back.

I guess the carbon clutches have their place, but in a street car it isn't.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      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 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      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

      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.
