I think nismo GMAX is the only twin that doesnt rattle but i might be wrong. I actually like the rattle. Swaps ? haha

yes Nismo GMAX twins etc do not rattle.

Me, i prefer it to be honest. Just a bit of noise.

I love my OS Twin plate. Very nice to drive, not too bad in heavy traffic.

It can also be rebuilt as the plates can be had for around $600 each.

hehe...rattle is cool ^^

basically..to install a twin place you need

-twin plate clutch

-sleeve bearing (smaller diameter) instructions should have nissan part no.s

-sleeve carrier (shorter) ""

-forged pivot ball (nismo etc, highly recommended)

to get the best out of it i'd recommend

-stainless steel clutch line (increases response, takes out vagueness, also take out the clutch loop from original assembly)

-lager slave cylinder (nismo etc...decreases pedal pressure, better level of control, drive ie. parking)

only problem with multiplate clutches is when its time to replace them its very costly.

But they can handle alot of abuse, as long as you can thrash the car WITHOUT slipping the clutch at all they will last a long long time...

also i dont see how the nismo one would be any less hassle that installing an ORC type...

but they are both good clutches so either one would do well..

Exedy twin and tripple clutches come from the same parent manufacturer in Japan as the Nismo GMax. They both have a small spring loaded bracket between the plates that pushes them appart evently to try to eliminate the rattle.

Maybe if you get the clutch balanced properly before installing, it would disengage more evenly and not rattle. Dunno just thinking out loud.

Lunatic - I understand the pivot point and when you say sleeve bearing I assume this is the spigot bearing (Like this one http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/General...eedlespigot.jpg) But WTF is a sleeve carrier?

Can you give me any contact details ??...I have a NISMO G-Max twin plate that needs a couple of plates.

When you take the clutch apart it has the exedy part number mate

I've got a Nismo G-Max twin plate as well, it's an AWESOME clutch and yep no rattles, very grippy and isn't either on or off (sprung centre)

ok..the pivot bolt is the lil thing the clutch Fork 'pivots' on...

the bearing carrier is the thing the sleave bearing is pressed into..

the bearing carrier is attached to the clutch fork...

it slides up and down the main shaft when as you clutch in and out..

and the sleave bearing ofcourse, is what pushes against the pressure plate fingers..

this is for push type obviously...

you're right about the lil spring eliminating the rattle though..

The Nismo G-Max has been replaced now by the Nismo Super Coppermix single and twin plate series. The twin plate kit is supposedly rated at 640PS - Im currently waiting the arrival of mine and will post up my impressions of it after its fitted.

Sorry for resurecting this very old thread but it's the closest one I could find with alot of relevant info.

I ordered an ORC 709D twin plate clutch but I haven't received it yet.

Instructions are suposed included as this is a brand new clutch.

However I'd like to have all the necessary hardware when the clutch gets here, of course!

does anyone know of the nissan parts# that I will need? I already had a twin plate clutch(unknow brand)

but it's now busted. I had new NSK throw out bearing installed last year when I had my tranny replaced.

I don't know if it had a forged pivot bearing but it did last close to 50 000km. Any info will be greatly appreciated since I need to have everything installed by April 22nd since I have a Lapping Academy Weekend!

thanks guys :)

This will help you if someone can translate ?

From the above PDF can anyone see if it mentions the friction plate minimum thickness is and also what the part numbers are for replacement friction discs on the ORC 709D

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
