nsta Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just installed my new nismo super coppermix clutch, and its got a very light pedal feel to it(i bought a nismo large slave), but its really on/off, i mean once its disengages, it just catches and goes, and i have to be several meters away from the car infront to make sure i dont hit it, its good for launching, but traffic is a bitc*, does this sound normal???, and anyway to make the clutch feel more progressive?

mitch_SR32 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 normal, drove my mates R32 with an OS Giken twin plate and that was certainly a learning curve over my single.

Yawn Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yep, I guess you have to ride it a tiny bit in traffic like that, especially on steep slopes Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/186320-new-twin-plate-clutch-very-bad-in-rush-hour-traffic/#findComment-3368835 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phunky_monkey Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Man up people! My OS twin is very aggressive, but I expected it to be. I just give it two quick blips before I take off to ensure enough revs with the lightened flywheel and off ya go. Interesting up hill in the wet, but apart from that it's all good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/186320-new-twin-plate-clutch-very-bad-in-rush-hour-traffic/#findComment-3373812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHDave Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 A friend of mine with a Nismo twin plate of some kind says all Skyline drivers should stall at least once every time they drive the car. Lol. i used to have an OS twin plate and was quite pleased with myself if i made it somewhere without stalling. I was a happy boy when i went back to a single purely as i wasn't worried i was going to stall every time i pulled away. I think i've stalled less in the last year than i did in my best week with the twin plate.

Cubes Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Interesting.. I drove a mates OS twin and found the pedal lighter than my single and had a more progressive/smoother take up. Yes the take up was super quick and was easy to stall but I found it easier to drive than my at the time new 9puk Xtreme XHD. As the 9puk got to half its life it was almost like a normal organic clutch in its feel where as the OS is still nice tight and grippy.

BHDave Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 i actually went from a TS2A to a 9 puck XHD extreme After the twin plate the single was a joy to drive and was about the same weight as stock. Still doesn't slip on me and still nice to drive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/186320-new-twin-plate-clutch-very-bad-in-rush-hour-traffic/#findComment-3375030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I went from stock to HD organic then to XHD 9puk. The XHD felt 2x the weight of the HD and the HD was basically the same as stock. I'm very keen to see how this GTR exedy pressure plate stacks up as I believe its up around 1500kg vs the 1180kg of the XHD I bought back in late 04.

jantolis Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I went from stock to an os giken twin plate and stalled straight away. I got so used to it an loved it after a while. Now i have a JIm Berry clutch of some sort and it's a single plate. I hate it after about 4 days of driving it. It's too light, it's too easy(sounds good but it ain't) to drive and i hate not having a lightened flywheel now. I feel like i'm driving my sisters charade. I have a feeling i'll be going back to a twin plate soon.

Ronin 09 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm looking at buying an ORC 709D.. what do you mean by menace? well some people have it and reckon it's easy to drive. they reckon mine isn't installed correctly... it's actually really light, but has a hair trigger - on or off. it's only done about 1,000kms, so might get better with some time. it can be slipped, but I don't get 'used' to it as it get driven about once or twice a month you might like it...

You will need at least 1000k's to break it in.... Then you will need to drive hard every time you see it playing up. Most of us who use these clutches..whether it be Jim Berry or Nismo drive around in traffic Once in a while you need to give them a hard time so they come good again. In your case it is new...take it easy till you bed in your flywheel. I have a Jim Berry one and I have problems with it when it is cold...bites quick like the way you are saying. The worst problem is when I drive a standard car for a while then jump into mine...always end up stalling it on take off the first two times.... ...but can't help it..the foot just comes up..not expecting that force.

khunjeng Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 lol good to see everyone has the same issues. You only stall it cos you dont wanna look like a tool reving the car too hard, then u look like a tool for stalling it...but you get used ot it and then its fine. Peak Hour is a bitch...I only drive it on the w/e anyway.
