Wanting opinions on clutches for a R32 GTR

Power output Will be around 350-400wkw.

From what I gather the Nismo super coppermix twin plate is best stock feeling and rated to 700hp or there abouts.

Is this right?

Drags won't be a huge part of driving neither will big launches but will certainly see some of both. Circuit work being main use.

I can see why people ask questions over n over again.

I'm guilty of it too!!!

So don't worry about this mistake.

SAU search is crap (sorry ) I use google.com search then put sau at the end. finds what I want on SAU.

Use Nismo from all I gather from reading online it's dam good.

Solid center clutches are much more prone to damaging gearboxes. The Nismo has a sprung center, so TCO may be cheaper once you consider the gearbox repair costs...

Are the Jim Berrys solid or sprung center?

have any of you driven with a jim berry? feels like a factory clutch yet handling 3rd gear standstill drop into powerskid. and only $300 to rebuild when the time comes. Customer service, value for money he is unbeatable

yes it feels like factory if by factory you mean feels like it came out of a 12ton truck

Have driven one and was one of the worst clutches for street driving I have ever used. Nismo twin for street driving every time, feels factory and holds over 475wkw in a Gtr

Just a FYI, there might be an issue with availability with Jim Berry's clutches.

He has moved shop & I understand is now doing less working hours then before. Last I spoke to him a few weeks back he mentioned this.

So I just got the Nismo twin for my car & all is well. Very impressed with it. +1

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
