Woo Monday morning I have a meeting to discuss the transfer to my new job!!!!!

Yayayayayay I got it !!!!

Congratz man,

Ok so once again i need some parts help lol, so its time for a set of slotted rotors and some new pads, im going with QFM street pads as they are awesome (used on my last car) but the rotors im stuck between the DBA T2 and T3 (club spec) the T3 are like $450 a set for fronts and $380 for rears, and the T2 are like $500 for all 4. Is it worth the coin to get the T3?

I went the T3 as i didnt want them cracking on the track, although my POS didnt let me go quick enough to worry anyway lol

But yeah go the T3, dont cheap out on brakes man!

[T4NK]

Yeh i was looking at the T3 is anyone able to explain the difference for me? im guess its something to do with heat from what u said Matt?

Lube or no lube haha

I went to go the 5000 until i realised they were about $500-600 per rotor, just still with the 4000 mate!

[T4NK]

hmmm, well cheers for the help man, have some decisions to make now, i also need to replace the clutch and coilovers as clutch is slipping and coilovers are leaking, i think they are like 10 years old or more since they came with the car from Japan.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah well just look at what you want to use the car for and purchase based on that! Shortcuts will get you breakdowns like my car lol, i spent so much in all the right places but skimped on the fuel system No more probs now!

And clutch, once again weigh up what you are using it for! Skids hopefully!

Yeh well my end goal atm is 300-320KW at the wheels, and a street setup on the brakes and suspension as i dont do track work, i will run it at the drags when Sushi wants to have a crack but its going to be a pavement pounder so handleing is at the top of my list, 300KW on the street i think is more then enough. I want to be able to get the power to the ground and keep it there, so suspension and brakes is high on my list but idk if i need the T3 as its not going to see much track maybe once a year if that. I have been looking for a 2nd hand OS clutch twin plate if i can find one, if not ill call JB and get a single plate customer built for the street. Coilovers im looking at another set of Zeal Function X or a high end set of BC.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Well maybe the T2 will suffice or the RDA etc..... Did you check with GSL Rallysport?

As for clutch there is NO need for a twin plate or triple plate etc..... Its up to you what you choose but a single can take 500kw+ of done right....

Thats good info Matt, i was thinking of getting the Twin plate because in a few years im planing to do a big single conversion and turn it into a track car when i buy a daily, but thats when its all paid off and shiz, so for now its 300KW on probs a power FC with some injectors and a fuel pump.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Mine would handle 500! Ill never make that but at least i know its good for big power if needed!

twin plate clutch puts a lot of stress on the driveline.

if you dont upgrade the necessary supporting components you can get cracking in the firewall as well.

[GTR-34A]

The nismo twin for the 34r is very well regarded as one of the best out of the box all round performers.

Not cheap, but handles heaps of power, and drives similar to stock.

It's what I will be putting in when I do the next stage of engine mods...

You clown Benji!!! The only crack in the firewall will be when you don't torque the flywheel and the clutch goes through it and the bonnet lol...

My single plate has 4600lb clamp which is more than most twin plates and the pedal feel is lighter than a lot of cars...

Ant - yes they are a good all rounder but big $

[Ruxis]

hey chookie, are you gunna be right to organise the next cruise or did you want ant to do his first like you said to me the other day??

he may need some notice

[m.j.h]

Huh?

T&G is tounge and grove floor boards.

[m.j.h]

also there is a T3 5000 and a T3 4000 whats the diff in thoes?

4000 series is steel hat and rotor one piece

5000 series is alloy hat and floating rotor

[m.j.h]

And now it's time for a drink

Been a long day today so I deserve one I reckon

Looking forward to the weekend though

Totally incorrect benji. No extra stress is put on the driveline at all - what your getting confused with is that a clutch is designed to fail before the driveline parts approach there operational limit...so to much power and a good clutch can cause issues for diffs etc.

The r34 Gtr drive line can take 1000hp with little modification, so Adam should be right no matter what he chooses.
