i dont want to join them i hate heavy metal its just screaming in to a mic locky could do that

and i feel like rat shit with my cocktail of hayfever and cold lol i just want to watch gran torino and be on sau lol

NPC gave me a rather nice looking quote - 10inch heavy duty copper mix organic - $643.50 inc gst for the kit. $450 inc gst for a revsolution flywheel...Thoughts?

you know my thoughts.......what's the diameter of a factory plate?

I installed a Extreme cushioned button on a mates car not long ago, drives like standard, holds 350 + rwkw, took out a exedy cushioned button that melted! and was bloody heavy under foot too.

Extreme have got there skylines kits well sorted these days, would recommend no problem at all.

My Extreme cushioned button didn't end up to well, but it did have a hard life from me.

now i have this one, but i don't recommend it for to much street driving.

A Nismo Tiwnplate Coppermix, i don't have ~$2k to throw at a clutch, and if my parents found out i spent that much they would freak....they will most likely freak anyway, they hate the car and the amount of money i spend on it. I also cant wait 28days for it to arrive from Japan via Nengun. As for the factory plate size, no idea, but i would say 9.5-10".

Chad, Didn't you have that made up by NPC?

Ever thought of getting a second hand twin plate from a wreckers? Ive seen a fair few coppermix clutches for sale at certain import wreckers yesterday. Providing they have plenty of meat left on them, they could be a cheaper option.

My 2c + Gst

I run an OS triple plate in my car - with a Nismo oversized slave cylinder it is really kind on the pedal feel, only slightly heavier than stock. My OS twin plate prior to this one was like driving a standard clutch albeit with a slightly harsher friction point. Driving in traffic with either of these clutches was fine, and they also hold after repeated 8500rpm+ launches :)

Alot of incorrect info flying around in here.

The whole idea of going for a twin plate is to avoid a heavy pedal....which is what a single with a thicker diaphram will give you.

I'm not even a fan of the singles with solid centres that are running buttons because they are very unforgiving on you and your driveline......these don't affect pedal pressure though.

Triple plate is a total waste of time for your car Abe.....not to mention that you will always be trying to release 3 plates before you can change years...not very good for lightening shifts.

Nismo have probably done more testing on GTR's than anyone else in the clutch department and have come up with 2 versions of the Twin Copper Mix one has a slightly heavier diaphram than the other, hence slightly heavier pedal but more clamping pressure.

I ran the lightest of the 2 Twin Copper Mix kits and found the pedal to be lighter than the factory single because they rely on surface area (being twice as much) and not clamping pressure which gives the heavy pedal. The use of organic material is for forgiveness on your driveline (ability to slip it in traffic) but with a mix of copper to increase grip and reduce fade on the track.

IMHO, either of the 2 Nismo twin setups give you flexibilty between street and track which would suit your specific requirements Abe.

Having said that, a car that's used mainly for track like Andrew's (Blue 32) would not benefit from this set up as he would want very little slip and lightening changes.....plus he doesn't idle in traffic so clamping pressue is not a problem in this instance.

Correct Pete! I had an os giken twin plate in mine (changed from an extreme 750kg pressure plate with organic clutch plate) and it was lighter and more driveable...Driven a nismo twin plate in a 33 gtst as well and it was much much better then his puck clutch he had in it before! I'd always go twin plate if i had my choice (and budget allows)

NPC make a great clutch abe i've run 2 group buys with Doug he is awesome to deal with

you can read a little info >>here<< and also see a few pictures

Thanks Steve, I am really considering a Jim Berry or a NPC clutch or if i really have too an Xtreme - As it is cheaper, and i have been hearing mixed responses about them.

Fitted my fmic intercooler piping kit. What a pain in the arse that was. :) Couldn't be arsed trimming the radiator fan, so I've removed it altogether for the moment. Does anyone recommend an electric fan kit?

I'll need to fit one before the track day.

:)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
