You go rev limiter and then step off. :P

this, lol

nah I drive mine like a factory clutch around town, find friction point and ease away, no jerking or shoudering just nice smooth take off, has been in car for near 6 years and when I go to an event it gets bashed then drives home normaly, smother then any other clutch I have driven, and I have had quite a few, one got distroyed in 6 mounths, less then 5000kms

Never paid anything and thats including a Nismo intercooler.

Even the head is coming in 'carry on luggage' haha!

Great! There is a need for a clutch in my immediate future. The rebuilt nismo gmax red cover that I have is starting to make some odd noises... plus its a prick to drive thanks to some modifications done to it by the rebuilders.

Do you use the comp clutch Paul, or is the standard plenty?

I use the C spec. I had a look on RHD Japan last night and there was 2,000 yen or so difference. So sweet 2/10ths of nothing.

It's just a heavier pressure plate. With the torque of your stroker, just grab the C spec anyway. It really is a no brainer.

so how do you drive your twin plates around town? do u find friction point then take off or do u jolt ?

The Super Coppermix has the same driveability as a stock clutch, no savage pickup or jumping during operation.

Best clutch I have ever used.

If no one told you it was a twin plate, you'd think it was the stock clutch. No bullshit.

exactly, that is how I would discribe the twin plate I have

single plate clutchs and 300kw+ gtrs are only ever going to be a short term relationship, best I got was 12,000kms/1 year of "my driving"

Hey W34pon; i was facing the same situation as you albeit in a cheaper car; I'd suggest to you that your first instinct is probably right dude; it's gonna be the synchros unfortunately.

It can happen over time (mine gave out around 120,000km) but you can wreck a specific gears synchros by forcing it in when you don't have the gear shifter perfectly aligned...

...Which is easy to do when you are in a high stress situation; such as hammering down a drag strip... or chasing down some evo.

It just doesn't make sense to me that fourth (not a paricularly difficult gear) would be the only one you were having issues with but the others are fine.

When you said "notchy" that set my alarm bells ringing.. i remember very clearly that i used to be able to shift as easy as you would in an astra or a little corolla; and then it gradually changed to notchiness and being "locked out"... the car changes gears when it is ready; not you; and its completely random when it happens.

I am currently having my gearbox reconditioned at a jap specialist in ringwood... i guess if it comes out to a good standard i'll give a breakdown if you're interested.

this, somewhat true, but GTR boxes are a bit notchy, they arent corollas or pulsars lol.

let him buy the clutch. If its still f**ked then do some sick launches then replace the box :)

love that line

Yeah, but you're an even bigger nutbag than Paul haha

hahaha, I can't argue that

just reread the thread and " little " is spot on with what he has said, when clutchs wearout they seperate further unless the plate has been bent and in which case all gears will give trouble, I'd say it"s time for new syncos

Just did 35,000 of hard kms with close to 400 RWKW most of its life. Easily 250 7000 RPM launches on it. Engine came out 2 months ago and it's going straight back in. No rebuild, no new plates.

C spec is rated at 780 ps where as the normal version is 640 ps

I reckon mine has done even more than yours, and it's still perfectly fine.

Hell I've done 8,000rpm full launches on Hoosier Drag radials - clutch didn't miss a beat and still hasn't.

+1 for coppermix, it really is the only choice for someone that wants the best performance, best clutch feel. They are MUCH lighter than any other twin I've used - ORC, OS etc.

And all Nissan boxes are a little "notchy" in GTR's I've found (GTR/RB25), not one car i've driven has been like silky.

The Getrag 6-speed though does have a different feel to it, you can notice it soon as you drive.

so how do you drive your twin plates around town? do u find friction point then take off or do u jolt ?

You can come drive mine round the block and see how the clutch feels if you want.

WARNING: You will want one after doing so.

ohh hopefully its not the synchros :(

well at the qtr .. some guy moved my friction point higher and then it engaged after 2 seconds so it might just be the clutch. if it is. damage is done. il just smash it till it dies haha

nah i cant i love my car to much. id still baby the synchros even if their gone lol

ive had a few enquiries so il get one soon. thanks everyone for your advice

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
