Nismo Clutch Specifics

[nsm034]

has anyone had any experience with a nismo clutch kit ? what sort of power can they handle ? They're $820 with a flywheel wich sounds pretty good. whats a jim berry worth ? thanks

[nsm034]

anyone ? had one got one ?

[T04GTR]

dont get a jim berry one. get one thats had alot of research and time and money invested into it. like a nismo one

and the flywheel wont explode either

[nsm034]

yeah thanks i was sort of leaning that way, but i really need to know how much more power it will handle over the stocko

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

The Super Coppermix - is rated at 420ps (which is 420HP) this is for the kit

[nsm034]

i'd say copper mix is better because it's dearer. would that be a fair asumption ? ha

[Beer Baron]

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.

[nsm034]

yep i realise that thanks. but is still a good option over a exedy

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???

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.

Let me know if you wanna sell it

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

It's a Nismo Gmax Item

probably the best twin plate in the world for road use and 650fwhp.. oh and i have one in mine...

[T04GTR]

try the spec 3 then "1000ps over" "1200kg clamp" kunt-spec

[stasis]

real quick question guys. What is the compund clutch for the Gmax twin plate and are they rebuiladble?
