Kurruptt Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hey guys, I have been scouring the forums for the last 2 hours or so trying to find some good advice on clutch upgrades. I have Nismo RS580 turbos and Tomei Poncams fitted. Naturally, the standard clutch has spat the dummy Does anyone have any recommendations for 500-550hp and good pricing for my R33 GTR v-spec? Thanks in advance, you guys are always brilliant Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451518-r33-gtr-clutch-kit-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggaz Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Nismo coppermix twin plate. Drives almost like a stocker, takes a raping harder than a hooker, lasts for ages. Job done.

Ben C34 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) How can you possibly have missed that a nismo copper mix twin comp spec is the clutch you need? Edit. Typed that way too slow!

Kurruptt Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Piggaz, you have a way with words Sir hahahahaha What are the normal expected costs on something like that? IS it worth upgrading the flywheel at the same time to a Nismo?

KiwiRS4T Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Try scouring the "drivetrain and transmission" section. ( I think a flywheel comes with the Nismo kit).

Hadouken Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 There are like 4 dedicated threads about clutches. This is how it usually goes down. Piggaz says nismo twin plate I say NPC Some dude comes out the bush and says I have a 4500lb clamp load on my jim berry clutch drivetrain doesnt even cry. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451518-r33-gtr-clutch-kit-advice/#findComment-7439706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but there is a whole dedicated section for Clutches, Gearboxes and so forth. Please post/ask in the right section Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451518-r33-gtr-clutch-kit-advice/#findComment-7439709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggaz Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Piggaz, you have a way with words Sir hahahahaha What are the normal expected costs on something like that? IS it worth upgrading the flywheel at the same time to a Nismo? It comes with one. My coppermix has been in the car since 2005. Over 350 launches, 7000 rpm plus launches. Started life holding 370 kw, now holding 470 rwkw. No rebuilds, no slipping, no nothing. Set and forget. With the Yen so weak ATM, you should be able to have one at your doorstep for under $2k. You even get a Nismo sticker!!!!! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451518-r33-gtr-clutch-kit-advice/#findComment-7439767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
