Gtr Twin Plate Clutches

[IOWNU]

Considering one of these right now. I have the HKS which is slightly noisy, I wonder how this will compare.

I haven't really heard other twin plates to compare, but I'm pretty sure the ORC is very noisy lol. So that's a no go if noise is a big issue for you.

When engaged, it sounds like a violent metal explosion waiting to happen (but I love it.)

Haha I have this to look forward to. I bought one of these.

Drtiftmeister are you on your second set of Plates because they Wore out too quick

or because the clutch is that good and new plates are cheap making this an awesome clutch to run in the GTR?

Have you had any experience with OGURA at all or just heard good things?

[GT-R32]

My HKS comes right out for engagement too! Nice to drive and a touch noisy. Worn out now though.

I have the ORC 700PS version, no actual driving experience yet however. But it looks nice in its box.

Noisy and a touch bitey are the words consistently used to describe it.

Hey there GT-R32 tell me did the HKS clutch set up ever let you down and was is the style where one

plate would just before the other so it felt stock and easy to drive???

I assume it launched hard though yeah???

I Youtubed the "twin plate Rattle" some interesting stuff

Hi, I've just put down my deposit on an R32 GTR today. I love how it drove but the car comes with multiplate clutch. I am still not very comfortable driving them on the road. It is unsure that the clutch is twin or triple plate as the dealer who sells the car to me have no idea what it is.

Anyway, is there anyway thing I need to do while releasing the multiplate clutch. As my last manual car was a stock corolla =_='

There is that "samurai sword clashing" noise at the start.. very noticeable, I thought when I push my pedal in it makes a little bit more noise than that, but might just be my ears..

To be honest I never gave it a hard launch! I've been respectful to this car given it's 20yrs old. But the way you describe its engagement it sounds like it.

A lot of people struggle with twin plate clutches, i learnt to drive mine 100% within a few hours.

It just takes a bit of getting used to, that said, some people cannot drive certain clutches for the life of them.

All I can say is keep at it.

Thanks for that. Is there any tips or hints ? I'm just so new to this multiplate thing. I'm about to go pick up my car on Thursday.

Heal on the floor when engaging, smooth small movements at grab point. Some people take longer than others to get used to it. Don't worry, you will get used to it . I've had pig clutches for years, daily driven, so nothing bothers me much any more.

That is the best bit of advice for using a clutch in a GTR. I had to alter my driving style that I had developed in my Peugeot 205 GTI. I leave the heal on the floor to the side of the clutch pedal, similar to how you heel-toe with your right foot, and lift my foot by the ankle rather than moving the entire leg. I only do this for first.

When I first bought my GTR it had a Nismo twin plate which I found very difficult to drive slowly in traffic or for parking. It had less than 2cm of difference between on & off and I stalled it a lot to begin with. I have since replaced it with a Jim Berry Full Monte single plate which is just as strong and much easier to drive with in the daily grind and to parallel park. My GTR puts out ~350rwkW and it is well up to the task.

Thanks for the tips guys. Can't wait until I get my car on Thursday Gonna try heal on the floor thing.

[heller44]

Just remember to not ride the friction point.. not a lot of meat on those plates to wear out.

[SIR-032]

So it sounds like a lot of people are happy with the OS Giken Twin Plates or NISMO

Thats Awesome news guys anyone else want to add to the growing list???

Have you done a Launch Lately?????

[monga]

The pfft why was in regards to your 'twin plates being mandatory for gtr's' comment. I don't understand why people put crazy clutches in cars that don't require them, it's cheaper to smash a clutch than it is a gearbox, the clutch should be able to hold maybe 10% more power than what the car is making otherwise it's just overkill, thats my opinion anyway.

My car makes about 300kw and i'm using a stock clutch with no issues, car is used mostly for weekend outings and track......

Negative ghostrider, break a box $1,000 to fix. Smash clutch thats $2,000 to fix.

I run Exedy Hypertwin, great clutch had it rebuilt about 4 months ago and see's 500hp easy. Had a HKS in the past and did not like it.

Serious About the HKS Clutch monga? are we talking about the one that where the front clutch engages first then the second a split second after?

like in the pictures above? it was at the top of the list because of thoses reasons???

Did it launch hard?

was it hard to drive in traffic?

Did you ever get the clutch to slip?

how loud was the plate rattle?

etc etc

cheers

Got the Nismo 640ps version in my car. Sweet as, VERY drivable and takes a beating!

Are the Nismo Twin plates easy on the gearboxes though? My understanding is that Twin Plates can actually be quite harsh on gearboxes???

[ali-turko]

if you want a twin plate thats not to hard on box look for a sprung center clutch instead of solid

Nismo Twin plates have a sprung centre dont they?
