Nismo twin plate. Best clutch money can buy for a street driven car.

Anyone who's driven one will agree.

Dont be scared by "twin", it drives exactly like a single, until you thrash it, and then it behaves even better and retains the stock pedal feel the entire time.

Btw i dont use one, i sold my one - and regret it everyday.

How does it compare to a HKS Twin Plate in your opinion?

My car came with a HKS Twin Plate and my understanding there is not much play with the Twins as it is either IN or OUT...

The clutch eventually worn out and as my car is pretty much stock so I went for a genuine Nissan R32 GTR Single Plate just to save from any hassles.

The Nismo twin isnt an "on" or "off" clutch like pretty much every other multiplate option.

Ive driven exedy twins aswel (nismo clutches are sourced from exedy then modified and resold), the difference is shocking. So far none of the other jap brands are close to the nismo IMO :)

Only problem with them is that the highest rated power for an R32 with standard gearbox is 740hp. If you stick an R34 getrag in you get a higher rating of 780hp. Both of those numbers are for the C spec versions (they rattle when clutch in). The C spec versions are a bit more costly but not by much, certainly not by enough to put you off getting one. Once you wear it out though, places like NPC can rebuild them to suit more power if needed. Also, if you can, buy one in stock in Australia, as they're fkn heavy to be sending by mail

I might be in the market for a new clutch soon. My car is stock.

Any recomendations?

do not get a brass button type

they feel shit house....

be aware that the OEM flywheel is a DUAL MASS... which cannot be machined and is recommended to be replaced whilst replacing the clutch. alot of GT-R owners piss the Dual mass flywheel off.... but in doing that........ a slight rattle sound will appear.

So better off getting the OEM then? ANy one know how much they are?

Did you read the above 2 posts?

Nah better off getting a nismo twin plate and putting up with the rattle, oh well that why i do anyways :D ..

You car sounds fantastic. Sounds exactly like mine did with the twin plate.

EDIT: Yours has been at autostyle before yeah?

Ive got a Nismo Super Coppermix Twin with a Nismo slave cylinder which makes the pedal feel exactly like stock. It rides like a stock clutch but when you want to launch hard, it just grabs like a mofo. And having a lightened flywheel makes your revs pickup and drop faster.

Ok, lets rewind! Sorry I read all the posts but I was in a hurry. Now I have gone though them again.

So sounds like the Nismo one is the way to go, I never thought they would be so expensive!

With the nismo one, do I have to replce the dual mass fly wheel? No mods needed with the Nismo one right? Lets just say my clutch jas been changed b4, and the dual mass fly wheel has been removed, is it easy to buy another one and place it back in?

With this rattle, is it quite loud?

You do need to change the stock flywheel, they are not compatible. But the good thing is the Nismo clutch includes a lightened flywheel already. It's also a straight up bolt on and a pull-type clutch, unlike a lot of other aftermarket clutches these days which are push-type (hope I got that right) so you need to buy all these f**king extra bits to make it pull-type, if you can understand that lol.

Dont forget there's 2 types of Nismo clutch kits for an R34 GTR, (well there's actaully more but have been discontinued)

1. Nismo G-Max Twin

2. Nismo Super Coppermix Twin

2nd one has higher HP rating, bigger clutch plates and another thing I cant remember atm.

The last thing is probably that the Gmax doesnt rattle, and all C spec's do :laugh:

Yeah they're not exactly $500 brass button clutches.

These were the best thing to buy IMO when the exchange rate was better.

Remember though, they come with everything needed for install including flywheel.

If you'r car is stock and will remain stock, personally i think a $3k Nismo Twin plate is slightly overkill.

Especially if she's a daily driver and won't be seeing any track time or constant hard launches.

Why you would fork out for a clutch designed to hold double if not tripple your planned power baffles me.

Another clutch you can consider will be the ORC clutch series. The ORC twin plate clutch retains the stock clutch feel as well.

I might have to check up on this brand

My car is completely a weekend cruiser with no launches, flat shifts or trackwork so when it comes time to replace i may as well go for the less overkill clutch...thanks for the hint

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
