Ok so I think the clutch in the 32 is on it's way out, not 100% sure it's the black fluid in it, or it is indeed fucked, it's pretty old.

It's currently pushing 350 at all 4 hubs, will be getting some injectors/boost in the future, not really wanting more than 400 out of it tbh.

Looking at these from Competition Clutches, V\http://competitionclutch.com.au/nissan/skyline/skylinestg4.html (http://competitionclutch.com.au/nissan/skyline/skylinestg4.html)

Really don't want to go twin/triples if I can avoid it.

Ideas

Why don't you want a twin plate?

Price mainly

If I can get a single plate that will do the job for half the price, I'm not going to waste the money.

Competition clutch seem to do sprung centres fairly cheap, will see what they say.

Don't the puck style clutches shudder when driving under no load? Whats the twin plate worth?
My experience (many moons ago) with ceramic puck style clutches were shudder when doing standard driving. Great under load. Or have things improved in the last 20 years? :/)

I would be going for a twin no question. Even a second hand twin would be ok. Far nicer to drive.

Sprung centre puck clutch is fine, only when it's solid centre does it become a shudder monster.

Will see what the budget is like after the holiday.

Single plate will get you about 10 launches and then die, I would be saving and getting something decent!

Usually twin plates come up fairly cheap second hand

I grabbed a second hand nismo coppermix twin for under a grand with 80% life on it and can't recommend enough.

Feels like stock, only thing reminding me it's not is the light flywheel.

Brett. Spend less on flowers and get a twin plate and be done with it.

I only spend 10 bucks on flowers, I'm not balla enough to organise them from site and send them on public holidays!
