brotecs new 'power slipper' clutch is the best for sure. it's a six plate kevlar/unobtanium mix...

ATM I have OS Giken twin plate. it's not too bad but it is pretty brutal. I reckon I'll go for the sprung centre option next time too.

All these people Quoting OS gieken and the like priced at $2g ???????

Jim Berry is the man, he CAN give you the clamping preassure of your new clutch, (mine 37000) and for a 5 finger carbotic clutch for a GTR with approx 500rwhp (mine) for under $1g (with flywheel) why go anywhere else??

Im not an expert in clutches but as far as i know if you have a spring rated and tested at 37000 pound and you are forcing 5 fingers onto a flywheel rather than a WHOLE plate or even a similar spring trying to grip two full plates the 5 fingers are going to have a GREAT deal more GRIP on the flywheel and less chance slip

DONT RIDE THE CLUTCH if you are finding that you are burning clutches out on a regular basis might be worth while to change your driving techniques

Oh he is in Brissy and he DOES love a GOOD chat!!!

P.S it might bee a good idea for some of the sau members to go to someone like JIM and listen to someone with some actual experiance not just come on here and dribble total

The other guys to talk to if you want someone in Sydney are St Marys Brake and Clutch, we got the race car's single plate and pressure plate from there for $800. over 300kw atw no problems after a full year's racing and 2 targas.

How do Jims clutchs (wonder if its like jims mowing? :) ) handle daily driving (in traffic)?

I'm after a clutch that can hold decent power and last longer than a year in daily driving (traffic etc..) Does he provide a flywheel with it as well? or does he modify your std flywheel? I've lost my std flywheel only have the lightweight one from my twinplate (in my car atm)

Blitz how did you go with the clutch? I am interested in getting one too

Kinell, due to a few issues with availability in Japan the clutch took a while to arrive but here it is.

I went for the brand new Nismo Super Coppermix twin plate kit, with lightened flywheel. The Nismo clutch was recommended to me by various people a a nice compromise between strength and drivability - I wanted a clutch that can take a hammering but wouldnt be a pain on the street so the super coppermix fitted the bill, and if it still proves to be rather heavy for street use, the Nismo larger clutch operating cylinder is also available for further improve the feel

Its being fitted as I type this, so i will provide more information on its drivability once I have taken it for a test run.

Whats the Nismo larger clutch operating cylinder all about? are you talking about a master/slave cylinder? How much are they worth, what are they ment to do?

Edit: ok quick search shows its a slave cylinder - what benifits does it provide over a normal slave?

Edit2: Ok bit more searching tells me

"When using with NISMO racing clutch kit, this product changes heavy clutch pedal feeling to lighter feeling. Bigger cylinder diameter (20.54mm) comparing with standard one (19.05mm) enables you to control clutch pedal much easier. Best matched with NISMO racing clutch series."

So how is it different using it with a nismo clutch rather than any other clutch?

Correct me if i'm wrong but it will just make the pedal lighter, its nog going to actually make the clutch less on/off?

but it will just make the pedal lighter, its nog going to actually make the clutch less on/off?

you are not wrong. that's exactly what it does. it does so at the expense of travel. I had one in my GTR (OS twin plate). Pedal was remarkably light, but I found it didn't have quite enough travel. so that sometimes even with the pedal all the way to the floor it was hard to engage first gear. could have been a bit leaky too though, so possibly a brand new one would be ok. i just replaced it with a stock nissan slave and the pedal was much heavier, but everything worked fine.

Cool thanks for the info - Interested to see how you like your clutch Nick - give it a couple of months before making final judgement, my twin felt great when i first put it in, then after a couple of months didn't feel so good, i'm going back to a single.

Also if you end up changing the slave cyl to the nismo one, let me know what difference it makes.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
