HI,

Does anybody know what a good clutch would be for diving around town at the moment I have a triple plate but want 1 close to standard, does anybody know of a combo with a flywheel as well for a 33 gtr vspec ?

Cheers Paul

Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Plate, comes with flywheel, new flywheel bolts, release bearing and clutch fork boot too - just under $1600 at the current exchange rate.

Jesse Streeter.

You're welcome.

Where can you find a Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Plate for $1600?

I've only seen them advertised for bout $2800??

10 seconds on google returns RHD having them for $1,699 plus delivery.

That's a really great price. Is this the comp model ?

Doesn't really matter for the price but just curious.

Any indication on timeframe for delivery?

OS Giken clutch went on Friday and need one in a real hurry, so I may have to pay premium :( locally

The one I got wasnt a comp model. The quote from Streeter is around 200 or 300 extra for comp model from memory. I got mine from a local guy that's got a new one but didnt want to install it. End up being 100bucks cheaper than Streeter without the long wait. Back then the exchange rate was around 70ish and I paid 2k for mine. Considering the rates dropped by almost 40%, 1.6k-1.7k landed sounds correct.

You can get Streeter to do EMS and you'll get it within 3-5working days I think. Probably another 200bucks for EMS which is 1.9k?? Still a good deal. You will never regret getting it.

If you dont like exercising your foot while driving, I will recommend sticking with coppermix. Try reading the review, nothing but good. Another good clutch I was looking at is the ATS carbon. Around the same price too.

Not saying Oruga isnt good but my personal opinion for clutch is, easy on the foot, lasting and can hold the power. I doubt the Oruga is easy on the foot. The coppermix holds a max of 500 or 600HP which is plenty for me.

according to just jap you can get them for a few different levels of power.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the competition one an the standard one?

Heavier pressure plate. For the little extra, it's a no brainer to get the competition spec.

There is rumours of not being able to use the Nismo Slave cylinder with the Nismo clutches. I call bullshit as my C spec has been in there for 7-8 years without an issue.

I think from memory it holds around 100 or 150 HP more than standard. Its states in the datasheet. You should be able to download online.

640 PS VS 780 PS IIRC. How conservative those figures are anyone's guess.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
