Has anyone used the Nismo super Coppermix clutches that can give me a heads up on them?

I'm assuming they're a carbon plate with copper impregnated.

What are they like in traffic and does the copper cause any shudder as opposed to the plain carbons?

they are awesome clutches! I drove one in a 32 not long ago and it was very VERY driveable. being a full face design you dont get that puck clutch shuddering if you try and take off slowly. The clutch handled whatever abuse you could throw at it!

If my exedy fails, i know i'll be getting one of these nismo ones

Thanks Simon, appreciate the info and your experience.

Shuddering is definitely one issue I'm concerned about but I also need a clutch that backs off quickly for smooth changing and that is forgiving in heavy traffic......so so far so good.

Hey mate, WE can order in the NISMO clutches for you if you like. We also have a brand new OS Giken triple plate clutch in stock rrp $3600 "comes with push-pull convertor" but willing to let it go for $2900 ono.

Hey Ryan, What sort of price can you do on the exedy and nismo in the first post of this thread?

what about one of these

i have on going in my Z on wednesday and after i bed it in i can take u for a spin?

Thanks Cain, I'd love to know how it goes.

That clutch looks sik, it was definitely the other one I was looking at and I think its definitely on a par with the exedy & nismo.

Are you running the single or twin, how much power are you making and did you get it from Nengun?

I have the Nismo Super Coppermix going in my car.

Was a little nervous, as i had previously spent alot of money on various clutches, only to find that they drove like shit. Anyway, just before Christmas i drove a GTR to a local car wash. I honestly thought the clutch was std, as it had a std engine and felt really easy/smooth to drive. I later found out that it had the same Nismo clutch, that i had bought for my car: i was happier than a pig in shit >_<.

Stick with the Nismo Super Coppermix, you wont be disappointed.

One of the other clutches i had previously purchased was an Excedy twin plate, that people "claimed" to be like the Nismo clutch, but was a prick to drive: on/off style take-off.

i have 1 in my car

best investment i've made

sexy as

Thanks Andy, it looks like the twin in the pic, can you tell me more, ie. any shudder on take off, pedal feel, gear changing, cost, etc.

Thanks for the info Al.....is yours a twin and where did you get it from?

Mine is a "push-type" Twin plate, Competion clutch, as it is being fitted to my RB30DET, that is currently being built and will hopefully make 300-330rwkw, with heaps more torque than an rb25 :ermm:.

I used Perfect Run, and the clutch arrived within 2 weeks of making the payment. I found Nengun, Perfect Run, and Greenline to be roughly all the same price.

Here is the i.d. code for my clutch (off Greenline website).

NISMO Super Copper Mix Twin COMPETITION model 3002A-RR593-C

Twin plate. 1100kgf/m. Rated to 740ps. Push type.

Mine was also just under $2000 delivered

mine is a twin plate with the carbon coated flywheel and pressure plate and it is the lightweight flywheel and the 1350kg pressure plate. I actually bought the clutch last year in august but as i had a broken gearbox it wasn't worth fitting, i finally got a new gearbox in b4 xmas. But as i was missing a thrust bearing and sleve for the clutch which only got in the week before. I have yet to fit.

i am making about 300rwkw on my VQ35 TT

this clutch should be good for around 800hp but i got the extra carbon coated shit and that should make it handle more torque.

as i will be building up the motor it should still be able to handle the power i want.

I can get the Nismo from Japan for approx $2000 landed.

The Exedy & ATS from Japan for a couple of hundred more.

Has anyone found them cheaper elsewhere?

SLED, keep in touch

ENR34 Luke can get it for you cheaper than Nengun

he has a mate that lives in Japan

you get your part before u pay (cant get any better than that)

Hey that sounds like good news Andy.....Luke if you're out there, help please!!

Al, Cain and others, thanks for your imput in this thread....good pics and good info.

What about a Jim Berry full monty clutch? im thinking of getting one soon

Well from personal experience, I wouldn't even consider the Nismo clutch (never used 1) when the Jim Berry full monty is half the price and more than capable of handling high power (I did over 30x 8000rpm launches in my 330awkw r32 gtr and their wasn't any clutch smell let alone slipping or stalling).

Yes the JB is heavier than standard but it's not a hard clutch to drive whether just cruising to work or fanging it around a race track and i'd highly recommend them.

Thanks for the link Dave.......I've just done alot of reading.

Ben, thanks for your imput too.

The thing to consider though with clutches is that building a clutch that will handle 800+ hp is easy....larger diameter driven plate with steel faces and heavier diaphram....problem is, it's not very streetable, ie. heavy pedal, shuddering and in/out feeling which is bad for the driveline.

What I like about the Boss Drive setups like the Nismo, ATS and the new Exedy 'D' Twins is excellent grip without ridiculous amounts of clamping pressure and the Boss setup is very driveline friendly.

Jim Berry sounds like a top bloke that knows his stuff but with all that I just read, I didn't find anything on compound mixes etc. He also lightens cast flywheels and with 4000lbs clamping pressure, which is what I read, you're asking for an amputation. I prefer the Jap steel lightened flywheels after seeing an old customer of mine that used to work at Super Roos in Edwardstown (when Super Chev were still around) lose a chunk off his tibia, snapped his left lower leg at right angles and a piece hit him in the left shoulder!!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
