I would not run a multi plate clutch on a streetcar unless it's your only option power wise. I had no other option and run an xtreme 230mm twin plate. If ever a company comes out with a single plate that can handle my power, I'm jumping back to a single that same day.

The noise of a multi disc clutch isn't pleasant.

I never had an issue with my super copper mix twin competition clutch.

was absolutely great to use as a daily for over 2 years

I want to agree with Chris and Neill here and it makes me wonder whether you should give the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin a try. I run it in my wagon and it's fine for daily driving. There's a tiny bit of chatter at idle and low rpm but really not much. Not enough for someone who doesn't pay attention to notice. You almost have to open the door and lean out to hear it. And that's in a grandpa spec car so it's not being masked by a loud exhaust or anything. Huge improvement over the single plate clutch that was in there before. I don't miss the heavy clutch pedal feel one bit.

I wonder whether the gearbox matters as well. The R34 GTRs that I have seen tend to sound like a bag of bolts in the dryer at idle. Does it make a difference whether it is the 5 speed or the 6 speed Getrag behind it?

I run a 6 speed CD00A trans and just looked into it, and they are supposably also very loud. It may be amplifying it. Thanks for the heads up. I always assumed it came from my clutch alone, never thought of the trans.

I even inspected it last time I pulled my trans to see if something seemed off and everything was mint. Bag of bolts describes it perfectly haha.

Yeah, I'd be curious to know what's going on mechanically and why it's different.

I do want to clarify what I was saying about the Nismo twin plates though. It's definitely not silent. It's just that in an everyday situation, say in the city with even just a little bit of traffic around, it very much blends into the background. But for example at night when it's quiet it is definitely very noticeable. We came home the other night and my partner got out and went "Is that normal? Is that your clutch?", referring to the clonking and chatter from the clutch. IMO a small price to pay for how nice it is to drive.

Understood. We may just have different perceptions of it as my wife says the same lol. As for mechanical, everything is fine on my end. Everything is new including the trans and I've taken it apart to confirm nothing funky is going on.

Definitely go a twin plate copper mix. Drives like factory, factory feel to the pedal. Clamp force is like grandma holding her handbag in Redfern, and they’re quieter than you think. Mine will be up for sale soon, but could do with a freshen up seeing as it’s close to 6 years old with a fair few track days/drag nights up its sleeve. 
She won’t suit my new built gearbox 🙃

I need a clutch to handle my twin gt28-5 turbos. 
 

how is the OS Giken TS3B Triple Plate Clutch Kit to drive on street and would this one kill my thrust bearings?

I used to have an OS Giken Triple plate in my 32. It snapped my clutch pivot ball and I replaced it with an Nismo strengthened one ($50).

Was ok to drive on the street. Annoying as hell to drive in rush hour traffic. The noise from the clutch when not engaged doesn’t make for a quiet street car. But…as long as you say “because race car” it’s ok.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
