Kaido_RR Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Here some information about the nismo clutch (got from the nismo catalogue) SUPER COPPERMIX Allowable torque of 54 kgfm for dynamic friction (station friction: 81kgfm) Handles an estimated allowable power of 420PS This is a single clutch system that takes "the ease of use"and "high power handling"forte of COPPERMIX to the next level.. This series also includes a lineup of standard specification products that can handle 380P *NISMO standard measurements taken by combining high-power specification with the SR20DET engine. Lightweight flywheel - Equipped with a lightweight flywheel manufactured form special chromoly, the ideal weight has been provided to ensure torque Aluminum Cover - A cover made from a special aluminum with excellent heat-radiating powers is used Center Plate with strap Function - To deal with unlikely occurrence of misshift, the center plate features a strap function SUPER COPPERMIX TWIN Allowable torque of 84kgfm for dynamic friction (station friction: 143 kgfm) Handles an estimated allowable power of 670PS The multi-plate clutch takes "the ease of use" and "high power handling"forte of COPPERMIX to the next level *The numerical values are NISMO standard measurement values measured using a push-type clutch combined with an RB26DETT engine. Evaluation were made based on street and circuit conditions. No quarter-mile evaluation was conducted Lightweight flywheel - Equipped with a lightweight flywheel manufactured form special chromoly, the ideal weight has been provided to ensure torque Uses an aluminum cover and lightweight flywheel as a set - A special aluminum cover weigh excellent heat radiation is employed. Also, this is combined as a set with a special lightweight chrome-molybdenum flywheel to achieve the ideal weight setting for the attained torque. Center Plate with strap Function - To deal with unlikely occurrence of misshift, the center plate features a strap function Hope it helps Cheers Michael Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/180095-nismo-clutch-specifics/#findComment-3282792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 definately get the coppermix over the old style one. also bear in mind that though it may be $800 the ems postage on it will be near $200.

MR R34 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Hey mate, Im looking at the same clutch kit, they sell it without the flywheel for about $500 also. Just want to know, what are ppls thoughts on the advantages on a flywheel? Do you guys believe there are any power gains to be made on a dyno? From what I've read there is no dyno difference however on the street, it is like having 101lbs less weight on the street???

Penfold Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I got a nismo twin plate + light flywheel and I hate it. Way too on off for city driving. I'm going to get it replaced by a single - already have nismo slave so should be heaps better for traffic.

Penfold Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 It's a Nismo Gmax Item - I'll have to find the version number. It's not too bad while your moving just annoying to drive to and from work and stopping at lights etc. Which is basically 90% of my driving - I'm rebuilding engine at the moment so I'm keen to replace it with a decent single. Let me know if you wanna sell it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/180095-nismo-clutch-specifics/#findComment-3289807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
