hi,

i've just had my current clutch fail after just over 6months! so im looking to replace it with either a nismo single plate or twin plate clutch.

My car is an r33 gts-t with 350hp (with possible 400hp in the near future), would i be better of just using a nismo single plate?

Also how is the twin plate for daily driving?

cheers michael

bloody excellent.

i just switched from an ORC to the Nismo super coppermix twin and it drives like stock. Doesn't rattle when either engaged or disengaged.

haven't launched it yet (don't really plan to) but it is a sweet sweet clutch.

my car is an early GTR, so push type (will be same as yours)

i don't drive the car every day but now it really can be driven daily.

hmmm

quick question is a twin plate over-kill for my 350hp possible 400hp in the future.

price difference is like $400ish... no point spending the money if i dont need it

Im in the same position as you. Im making 300hp at wheels now. And im leaning towards a twin plate. Cos the 260rs is a heacy car so it abuses the clutch when launched from a dead stop. Im planing to make 300-320kw@wheels in about 1 yr. So...

im also leaning towards the twin, i will be ordering mine tonight, so should be here in 1-2weeks, i let you know what its like once i've install it

I just bought one of those clutch`s got it yesterday. I bought a Nismo - Big Operating Cylinder to go with it just incase i felt it was abit heavy on the pedal.

Just waiting on arrival of other stuff from Japan before get it all installed.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
