ive got an r32 gtr 89 model, ive just bought a nismo coppermix twin plate clutch, a friend of mine is a mechanic and will be installing it for me, during a search on the twin plate topic and found extra parts r needed for the conversion to the twin plate. the parts include a smaller diameter sleeve bearing and sleeve carrier, and a forged pivot ball. with the clutch kit came a seperate sleeve bearing, after searching for part no.'s i found the sleeve bearing no. 30502-14601 which was seggested with the exedy twin plate, this part no. was different to the part i was supplied with in my kit which has confused me a little also there was no sleeve carrier supplied, where could i get this part if it is needed. i am in need of some good advise of someone here.

Measure it up on the pressure plate and see how it all lines up. Thats all I know.

Got a os gikken triple plate in mine and it works with the standard bearing and carrier. The snout on the input shaft sleeve (what the carrier slides on) had to be shortened cos it was fouwling on the pressure plate fingers though.

i cant find out anything concerning this gear, has no one used this clutch here?

can anyone confirm i need to replace the sleeve bearing and sleeve carrier? what is the bearing supplied in the kit?

really need some help guys, as u can see i have no idear whats going on.

If you bought a new Nismo Twin plate (super coppermix ) you should have everything you need in the kit .

You should have a new flywheel , release bearing and the clutch /pressure plate assembly , thats all you need as long as you have the corect clutch for the R32 gtr . They even give you new flywheel bolts. It should be a push clutch , only late model 32's had pull clutches .

If you want a lighter pedal and more feel to it you can get a Nismo slave cil as well ( they are slightly bigger ) . I would get a new spiggot bush as well , yours is 15 years old , they are only about $14 from Nissan .

I hope you have a hoist , its doable on the floor but fairly hard , hopist and trany jack make life much easier .

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
