Nismo copper mix twin plate all the way, drives like a factory clutch and know of one holding 475 at the wheels, including massive launches and been in the car for 8 years Also have the added bonus o

did Jim tell you it must be your driving style...

Are you saying the clutch recommended to you is a solid centre and not a sprung clutch? Solid centers are cops to drive and will eat gearboxes just because they are bored and they like the taste

Not sure. I never sent him a clutch and they looked new.?

Haha. I paid for the box.

A mate had his HKS twin rebuilt by jb and it lasted and drive very well. So not knocking the guys work. It's just I didn't have much success with the heavy single with a mix of street and track.

I've told him 1100 nm and for safety he suggested solid centre clutch not as good on street but less likely to have issues, I touched on exploding subject and he said its the centre bit can't remember exactly but the part in middle of clutch plate that usually fails and it can't in solid for some reason? But the failures reported on this forum are mostly pressure plate related it seems ? Anyway I will ask him straight out tomorrow

Was it the clutch fault or some other part that caused it?

Buy a nismo copper mix and have piece of mind knowing your car won't be a write off

I have nasty photos of one that died (not my car) and won't use one because of them

I seriously doubt the Nismo copper mix is made by exedy.

Don't skimp on the clutch

yeah kind if agree here, its not something you want to have to replace too often....that said i picked up a refurbished NPC with flywheel cheap as chips and its been faultless....wanting the best doesn't always have to mean 2500$ worth of Nismo...just means you should do your homework...

Well I will let u know how I go, I've spoken to Jim again about the failures and to me seems fair enough , these things happen and I guess it's what insurance is for in the end, he seems very honest and open about the various subjects so I'm pretty sure mine will be fine. I'm sure other manufacturers have had clutch failures but we don't hear about them, anyways looking forward to 450kw at the strip

I think youd definitely year about exploding clutches on SAU. Especially the big boys, exedy, nismo, npc, os.

Anywho, you will need a twin for 450. It would be 10000000000x nicer to drive than a unsprung clutch. Imagine taking a sledgehammer to your gearbox with every gear change. That is what 4500lb clamp load sounds like haha.

Go nismo or NPC. Both have good rep

Yep that's what he said, u guys have me suitably worried now... Is it true the excedy twin plate is same as nismo? There is one going for a good price I know of

no the nismo clutch plates are made by velo, but I doubt they are allowed to sell them to anyone but nissan/nismo

Funny. You ask the question and hear not so good revues, then do your own google search, find more horror stories and still go with mega clamp solid centre single? Make sure you have a spare gearbox is all I'll say.

Good luck

I hear you... I really do. But there are stories of nismo, npc and others letting go too, please don't think I havnt considered your suggestions but in talking to Jim he was happy to explain what happened and my tuner hasn't had any issues so I just decided to go with my original plan but actually the only horror stories are in sau in the wider google search nothing of note came up under my search queries anyway I hope u don't get to say I told you so buy time will tell

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
