I ended up with a twin C spec but I am pretty sure the Single was 420 PS, around 310KW. My twin is handling more than it is rated to, so I guess the single would do the same.

Mid to high 300KW, go for the twin , easy street clutch and will handle a bit more , you will always want a bit more, lol

How do you find your twin plate (feel/engagement)? What is the power rating on that?

It feels like a normal clutch and I love it, had a OS Quad before that, what a bitch without torque , as I was putting more torque down, it was getting easier around town, BUT :(

The other thing that was good for me, the Quad engaged early on the peddle and I was sitting on the steering wheel. The twin engaged much later and having short legs it allowed me to get back into a better driving position, the joys of being a short arse :)

The Twin is rated around 740BHP ( crank) about 630 awhp. I am at the limit , but I also have a lot more torque for it to handle , something like 1000Nm@4000rpm. I guess the other thing is mine is also a street car and does not get thrashed for long periods but what I do it handles easily.

I have a coppermix single and 300rwkw. Its fine with that. But the clutch is a bitch to live with, its either on or off. On rainy days I avoid a set of lights that have an uphill approach cos I tend to slip and spin. Unintentional two lane sideways take offs are not out of the question. And I've been living with it for over 10 years so its not like I Don't know the car, but I am still learning :yes:

I have the twin C spec on my 34GTR and it is a beautiful clutch , I would have thought the single would be even better ?

Yours sounds like the Quad OS I had in before the Coppermix twin, now that was a bitch street clutch when you had no torque :(

A Nismo clutch box came in the boot along with the Nismo Diff box [and some other its and pieces] both had the original clutch and diff centre in them [long sold] and some other stuff. I kept the boxes for shed cred!!!

So my powers of deduction were that the parts ended up in my Line.....but anything is possible.

That's about all you can go off until you have to pull it down ?

I had a work sheet from before I bought my car and it had about 9 different things replacing other parts, some that you could see were on the car, but one of them was a Nismo 2-way LSD and I have not been able to confirm this. The main reason I thought it "might" not be on it was, everyone kept saying that these 2-way LSDs clink and clunk at low turning speed , mine is quiet and no shudder of any sort, feels good, so ?????

Mine clinks and clunks heaps.......but is honest goodness when you accelerate and the car goes where you want it to!!! I will check my box clutch at lunch when I go home, my memory may not be as good as I thought [i am getting older lol].

Getting older, tell me about it, 74 in 2 weeks :/

But I would love to get my LSD named one way or another, but drives great.

/\ I don't have any of Tridentts issues with the Nismo single, it drives like a standard clutch & I'd recommend anytime if it's within power range, you're telling people to avoid it & you're not even sure it's in there? It sounds like it's not

my twin is the same, easy as , I would question it being a Coppermix single ?

Serious apologies......I don't have a coppermix!!!! I have a Nismo GMax multi plate.Part No. 3002A RS591.

So I now look like [and feel like] an idiot and serves me right for not looking before diving in. In my defence, I kept the box but this is the first time ZI have looked at it for years, and I'm getting older so memory isn't what it used to be.

Join the club mate, lol

But if you are after a new one the Coppermix is pretty good.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
