    Around the car park 3 times :p
    Its more of how it feels for taking off regarding smoothness and noise

    Mine doesn't rattle at all, although I expected it to and surprisingly nice and smooth to drive. It requires heaps less travel to dissengage and more of an on off clutch. It is nicer to drive than most big road type twin plates, that cost twice as much, although I am only experiencing it around the car park and the pits, like driving in traffic though.

    Nah my mechanic his pretty good ill have to tell him bout the pedal stopper thou.
    lets say my pedal travel is 1 to 10 my clutch clamps at 1 &half i never did go past 5 as i was worried bout rolling bak to far by the time i found it engaging so as i left his shop pretty much straight into traffic in the hills district i stalled it a couple of times due to not giving it over 1500 revs and then when i did i was releasing it to quickly spinning the tires every where at every set of lights. i got to the first petrol station where i was heading gave him a call he said not to think its what it is just treat it as a normal clutch ride it just abit and you'll be fine. so i gave it another go his advice helped but i found my idle was going like a water level if i tapped the pedal revs would go down then up then go bak almost to cutting out then back to normal idle 950 so no doubt that was a big part in why i stalled it like 8 times before i got home.

    Stick to hardparking? lol :p

    Why did you go multiplate anyway? It's not like a 'normal' clutch won't hold the power

    I went twin plate because ive driven them before but from memory i only stalled it twice before i got the hang of it and its 1100 buks 200 to rebuild they claimed "This clutch kit has been designed to be the best multi disc solution for the 300ZX focusing on drivability." and i have 350kw so a twine will out last a single.
    it might need more adjusting and just abit of getting usto.

    I know i should of listened to Andrew and went with the nismo ill have to give ya a drive of it rob see what you think my tune is only where yours is at 95% finished Mark told me after i got home my idle is abit up and down like i said in my other post so it doesn't help line this thing up the rattling when im driving with it in gear pedal out is what im most worried bout and whether it needs more adjusting because i wouldn't no never drove my car manual before this.

    your right but didn't think it would be this different to a twin in another car.

    i have more trust in z1 than UAS no offense to you Mitch.
