Maybe then it will go well lol

So you didn't fancy getting the HKS plates then? Twice the price and harder to get hold of?

[Wyn]

hmm might have to hold that order and go for plan C ... what ever that might be
Got a call back 10mins after placing me order ... no RB25DET twin plate exedy clutch's in stock till November
Will know for sure tomo when they call to confirm
So might just see about buying the hks plates n using that
Exedy twin plate clutch is £1500, not cheap but I just want to fit and forget
Hks plates are about £120 each. Just not sure about its other parts as I think the type I have has been discontinued ?

That's the price you pay. I had a 900lbs competition clutch on my rally Mazda 4x4, it was either in or out, no in between but fantastic off the line (or traffic lights if you prefer) !

I agree, its deffo a nice looking piece of kit but now needs running in according to the bumf
Will see what its like in 500 mile.
Thats a lot of traffic light starts lol

[nissanabuser]

never heard of running a clutch in, I used to run my race engines in on track at 9000rpm hahaha

Still trying to get used to that clutch as its either on or off so not my best buy lol

Anyhows back to the rollers again today after a change to the turbo elbow aswell

Best was 407 fwhp and settled for 406 to be safe lol
With the map/boost now set right it drives and pulls much better

Very pleased

I should have taken a vid of my my rr session. It reached the redline so quick in 5th, the back squatted right down and the sound it made was awesome. I looked up and saw the hp fly pst 400. I'll have to take it back just so I can video it!

[Wyn]

Good idea, will try get some footage of mine on the rr
