Heres the things im thinking of buying at the same time i buy my nismo clutch kit (whch i still dont know whether it comes with flywheel or not?)

1)SUPER COPPERMIX TWIN (STANDARD - 670PS)

2)APP DIRECT CLUTCH LINE - braided clutch lines

3)***NISMO BIG OPERATING CYLINDER -....DOES THIS WORK WITH twin PLATE CLUTCH ON THE ECR33 RB25DET SERIES 1?***, and is this even worth buying with the coppermix, as ive heard the pedal pressure is quite light on these clutch kits anyway, even the twin plate ones.

4)NISMO RACING RELEASE FORK PIVOT

anything else i need or dont need please advise me, im going to be doing the auto to manual myself, and il be buying a spigot bush at the same time for this also, the box is in extremely good condition.

please help me out, i want to buy this kit now, so i can hoepfully get everything done asap:)!

thanks for the replies mate, im sold on the super coppermix twins, i was told a nismo fork pivot is highly reccomended, but is all the other stuff necessary, like the braided lines, bigger slave??? this is my first clutch im putting in, and im converting from auto to manual, so ill be buying a manual spigot bearing aswell. I was told theres a couple of other nissan parts. which will be needed which the instructions of the clutch advise of?

anyhelp greatly appreciated!

definately get the nismo pivot, it's cheap. also get the braided clutch line as you will need some kind of clutch line, may as well get the braided one. same with the nismo slave, since you are coming from auto you will need to buy a slave anyway so you may as well buy the nismo one. the clutch instructions wont advise you of any parts needed to convert from auto to manual though... obviously you'll need master, pedal assembley (may as well get nismo pedal bracket too), gearbox, gear shifter, manual centre console. I have no idea what else though.

cheers mate, the gearbox kit i bought came with pretty much everything i need for the conversion, ie gearbox, driveshaft, gear stick, pedals, master/slave cylinder, clutch flywheel(which i wnt to replace for the sake of it), all the wiring.....no centre console though.....

Whats the nismo pedal bracket for?and is it necessary?.....im jst waiting for my price quote back.

Bump.....just while on the subject, for my power goal of just a tad iver 250rwkw, is the twein plate coppermix really necessary?...i mean could i get away with using the nismo coppermix single plate rated at 420ps instead?.....it would save me a heck of alot of money.

anyone using the single plate nismo with around 250rwkw?

thanks!

I had 262rwkw and the nismo single - no probs at all but when you try and launch it it was nothing special, mind you mine was getting oldish

Then in went the twin - launched hard all day. Plus if you decide to go for more power you dont have to worry about changing the clutch in the future

so the single will cope with the power no probs, just a little less bite when you launch hard as opposed to the twins, im just wondering what others have with about 250rwkw and whether or not they can justify the big price jump between the two clutches, im sure both coppermix models are great though!

Another happy customer with the Nismo supper Coppermix twin, I have one in my GTR with the bigger slave . The bigger slave will make it feel lighter and makes the pick up more progresive . In my opinion its the best twin in the market but they are not cheap . You will get everything you need with the kit , the only other thing you want is a spiggot bush .

So no need to get braided lines?.....ive been told the nismo pivot fork is a must?i will be buying the bigger slave too!

If my lines were in good nick I wouldn't buy any, if you don't have any you may as well but you will not know any difference .

Great clutch I love it. Will see how it copes with 550ps in 2.5 weeks

Highly recommended

Did not change any other bits except crank bush. Same feel as normal clutch.

Was designed for the Z-tune I think so it has to be durable and long lasting for the gtr flagship Thats what sold me.

thanks for all the replies guys, im definitely sold on the coppermix, but dont know whether or not to go for the single coppermix, or twin with my application?, anyone care to let me know, at this stage theres a reasonable price difference between the two, meaning i could use that money elsewhere if the twin is not needed. Does anyone actually own a single plate coppermix?

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
