I have an single plate exceedy heavy duty clutch in my car at the moment... i have around 270rwkw, nothing huge... but over the next year or two i will probably end up upgrading turbos/fuel system etc..

Nismo/OS Giken/ORC twin plates are going to cost me over 2k....

the clutch i have at the moment i've done about 10,000ks on, i think it had another 10,000 done by the owner before it... but its never been that good, shudders quite a bit, esspecially now its worn

Can anyone suggest any single plate option? Or should i just bite the bullet and get a twin plate? 2100 delivered nismo twin plate from nengun.........

ferni, I think you'll find some used twin plates still in very good nick, from some of the local used parts suppliers for around $800-1100. As far as a single is concerned..uhm?? I wouldn't even bother, my old clutch was just holding on with the same amount of power you have now. At least with the twin's you can rebuild them, and again I think I know someone that has a nearly new HKS Twin plate for $1100~ I can ask for if you like.

I've been warned away from HKS.... *shrugs*

Most of the used twin plates i've enquired about don't have much left on them, no point spending 200-300 bucks getting it put in, only to have to have it taken out, rebuilt and put back in in a few months...

I think i may have to bite the bullet and get a new twin :D

Singles can be rebuilt too btw...

Mine and Tim's are both Daiken Exxedy clutches. Mine's a heavy duty organic, not ceramic, Tims is ceramic. I've got a 2500kg pressure plate from memory; Tim's I've got no idea.

Mine feels like a stock clutch, but is very bitey. Tims is a little more bitey, but again as light as stock. The feel is controlled by the pivot point I believe - Ben modified mine to make it feel lighter.

When I originally got my car from Japan it had a Nismo twin plate which was a heavy sucker and near impossible to drive in day-to-day traffic. On very steep inclines I found it incredibly frustrating and stalled it frequently.

If Ben tunes your car, have a word to him and see what he recommends.

Cheers.

      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.
