Nismo Coppermix Twinplate Free Play

Fellow coppermix users, I was told by my mechanic (new workshop) that my clutch might be worn. He said that due to the amount of free play before the clutch actually engaged. But I told him thats how it felt from day one and the difference is I cant ride as much when it was first installed.

Background of the clutch is, the gearbox was rebuilt by a reputable mechanic in Brisbane and the coppermix was brand new. The clutch after installation felt like stock. Free play was the same but it would either bite or not bite. You cannot really ride the clutch much. I was thinking this is the bed in period. After say 2 months, its how it feels like now. The clutch is not slipping and engaging and disengaging well.

I've only ever launch the thing less than 10times (during drag day) and from what I read on the coppermix, it should hold fairly well. Car is only 340awhp and I dont drive like a hoon.

My question is, is the free play normal for the coppermix? Could this be just a coppermix design? Cheers.

Sorry for posting this but found the answer in another section of the forum. Seems like the free play is normal. The mechanic problem isnt used to a twinplate feeling so comfortable.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
