Hey everyone,

May I ask for you're advise on this? I'm new to having a twin plate clutch. Either my clutch is gone to crap or I suck at driving lol. I have driven many different manual cars for the past 10 years with no problems. So I would like to think that I'm at least decent at it by now lol. Here's the situation.

I bought the GTR from a co-worker about a month ago. He complained that he didn't like the clutch and I second his opinion!

-I have to take off really slooowwwwww.

-The grab point is all the way off the floor and is very unforgiving. If I had to describe the amount of space my foot has to move when slipping the plates it's a centimeter lol.

-And the worst part about it is! About 2 out of 10 times, the clutch makes a horrible and very loud grinding noise.

-I get the normal rattle when the peddle is depressed.

The grinding noise is what most concerns me. Judging from where the grab point is my guess is that the clutch is on it's last leg. All I know is that it's an Orc clutch/ unknown mileage.

Help!

welcome to a twin plate.....!!!!

i would suggest you remove it unless there is a reason for it being in there...IE power?? if it is a daily and can handle a single plate then do that as it will solve alot of hassles

clutch shudder is normal with these are they are basically on/off (engaged or not) specially when you get close to the biting point

There's really no need for a twin plate. My gtr is virtually stock accept for coilovers, cold air intake and power fc.

"Clutch shudder" sorry for being a newb but are your referring to the spinning rattle noise when depressing the peddle/ disengaging?

Or is that what that terrible grinding noise is when taking off? Haha it's loud enough that everyone within 25 feet will turn their head haha

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
