NPC make some of the best clutches around. Their twins are used in 1000+hp cars. I run an NPC single with 600hp no problems !

only a single.... launchs, drivability ?? do you know if they are like the Jim Berry ones which have mega clamp like the one I have now with 4200lbs clamp, feels like a sledgehammer hitting the drivetrain ?

Having used both Jim Berry single plate and NPC id have to say that both are excellent in high horsepower applications. My current NPC twin plate cops over 1000hp every launch and is nice and quiet unlike the Jap items that have that annoying rattle.

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the NPC range of twin plates..........

or what about nismo coppermix twins are they rebuildable ???

I had one in my rb30/26 running 580hp and the preasure plate smashed after a week and destroyed my gear box. I was only running the cluch in no launches at all. It was a single plate 5puk from npc

ive used alot of clutch brands and my npc twin is by far the best drivability and ive never had any hint of slip with 600rwhp, 1750kg car and revlimiter drag launches with a dogbox. I have used an os giken quad and it was annoying to drive, on and off engagement which sucks. The NPC is so smooth to engage and its such a soft pedal feel considering the power it can hold. I would have no issue using it as a daily driver clutch its great.

Ive also used direct clutch twin plate, extreme singles as well to compare.

They are cheap too compared to the jap brand options so its definately got no compromises.

From the last time it shit its self I sent it back and had it rebuilt to handle even more power. Funny thing is I'm running less power then last time. Now 450hp and the piece of shit clutch let go yet once again but this time it smashed the box clean off the block. I was changing from 2nd to 3rd. I should of learnt work's the first time it let go. Now I will use what I know works. Hks or os or a orc so I don't have to pay labour to remove the gear box and pay for a new box and clutch because some price of shit clutch can't handle half of what it is built for. Buyers be warned. And customer service is f**ked when you send them back. They try anything to get out of it

was this the NPC 10inch ceramic button sprung clutch? I'm having one installed in my GTR today (380awkw) - I hope to God that I don't have the issues that happened to you. I guess I'll find out soon enough lol

basically I just wanted a quick swap over clutch so I didnt have to leave my car at a shop for a week or two while my OS Giken twin plate gets rebuilt. I was told this clutch can handle 600hp at the wheels - so I thought I would try it (cost were much cheaper than the NPC twin). At worst I can always get the OS Giken reinstalled (after rebuilt) if I'm not happy with the NPC 10" ceramic button sprung clutch.

I'll do a review on the NPC 10" ceramic button sprung clutch after I run it in - will post it on this website. Hopefully my pressure plate won't explode.

Ah fair enough

Not sure if theres any difference between the GTR and GTST clutches, but mine has a lighter pedal feel than my old exedy cushion button, isnt to much worse to live with every day (takes a little while to get used to but not so bad)

Bites damn hard, and has never slipped for me once. Going strong for over a year now.

I dunno what else to say about it lol

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
