Hi All,

This is firstly an EOI for a Group Buy (GB).
~ Serious buyers for this Group buy EOI starts NOW and closes 24th May 2013. Think before adding your name in this thread, as it will be the GB thread if I get enough interest.

~ Decision to proceed or not will be made by me on the 24th based on interest shown.

~ Discussions in relation to comparisons, tech specs, merits and costs of other brands and suppliers to be held in the General section. This is the EOI/GB thread for Nismo Twin Plates, either you want one or you don't (Harsh ?).

Group buy if run will be 24th of May ~ Closing 7th of June 2013. "show me the money"

Recently my clutch got lunched and I needed a new one. Did some research and settled on the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin plate - Competition.

A lot of good information and reviews on SAU. One issue I faced was timeframe as I didn't want my GTR off the road for 2-3weeks. Anyway that's another story.

For now I have a new 'other brand' twin plate. However I am still keen to buy one of these and potentially on sell my new one. I'll decide over the next few weeks.

With the current exchange rate Prices are good for Aussies (and I guarantee it wont last too much longer - read over by Xmas). It's starting now to set up for the worse :(

EOI for NISMO - Supper Coppermix Twin & Comp Clutches; BNR32/BCNR33 - not BNR34 but with enough genuine interest I will get prices.

1. Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Plate; 471kw/640hp, 950kg pressure, 2.08kg lighter than stock

- Allowable torque of 84 kgfm for dynamic friction (Stactic friction:143 kgfm) Handles an estimated allowable power of 670 ps

Price is estimated at $1700 delivered

2. Nismo Super Coppermix Twin plate Competition spec; 574kw/780hp, 1150kg pressure, 2.08kg lighter than stock.

Price is estimated at $1800 delivered

Note: Prices are very good current estimates.

Based on Volume, Shipping method and AUD conversion on the day it may be even cheaper :woot:

The above prices include EMS freight. Cheaper still using SAL or SEA.

Freight rates on current exchange are as follows..

EMS : $235

SAL : $187

SEA : $100 (so therefore if you can wait subtract another $135)

One of the advantages is these clutches 'feel' very close to OEM but handle a truck load more power.

Delivery - 2-3 weeks GB closing using EMS. ( up to 1 week from Manufacturer to supplier, 1 week to ship (4-6days), +1 week to account for any delays which may be experienced and unforseen)

Supplier: To be announced on GB closing date and prices locked down.

Any questions please PM me. :yes:

Cheers

Richard

is that 640hp at the wheels ?

I'm currently making 474 RWKW (630 rwhp) and its been in the car for 7 years. I really think those figures are conservative. Never had any issue with it slipping.

Estimated Prices only - may fluctuate with AUD until orders confirmed and then placed.

Therefore I have added a little risk factor pricing in the attached spread sheet.

Minor Update

- should have something pretty firm on Monday eve. Decision to go/no go on the GB.

- so far 5 have shown interest. Hopefully these are committed.

- > Anymore for anymore ?

After looking at a number of online shops, contacting them to see if they can do better on a group buy, prices don't differ very much at all with a few of our well known and respected individual suppliers.

In fact every one is pretty much the same at the moment.

Unless some really good pricing comes back from a number of enquiries this GB will be terminated. Sorry., seemed good at the time.

As it appears I can't do much better than you could do yourself :(

I have my personal preferred supplier who will get back to me tomorrow evening with a final price.

If anyone else has someone on the inside and can do a deal 'WE' would like to hear from you (PM me) !

Will go 1700 delivered on mine below if anyone is keen and the group buy doesn't pan out...used literally less than 500kms

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
