Just installed my new nismo super coppermix clutch, and its got a very light pedal feel to it(i bought a nismo large slave), but its really on/off, i mean once its disengages, it just catches and goes, and i have to be several meters away from the car infront to make sure i dont hit it, its good for launching, but traffic is a bitc*, does this sound normal???, and anyway to make the clutch feel more progressive?

I thought the nismo clutch was supposed to give you 'stock feel' and be very 'driveable'. I was hoping to get away from the on/off style of the old clutch. I guess i'll find out in a few weeks..... i

no it's the opposite. decrease in effort means decrease in travel too. basically it's a larger bore slave so for a given pedal movement it travels less distance now (but with less effort) that is the

in the same boat....from stock clutch to twin plate....but doesnt take too long to get used to.....but its pretty embarasing stalling a gtr...

A friend of mine with a Nismo twin plate of some kind says all Skyline drivers should stall at least once every time they drive the car.

Man up people!

My OS twin is very aggressive, but I expected it to be. I just give it two quick blips before I take off to ensure enough revs with the lightened flywheel and off ya go. Interesting up hill in the wet, but apart from that it's all good :P

Lol. i used to have an OS twin plate and was quite pleased with myself if i made it somewhere without stalling. I was a happy boy when i went back to a single purely as i wasn't worried i was going to stall every time i pulled away. I think i've stalled less in the last year than i did in my best week with the twin plate.

Interesting..

I drove a mates OS twin and found the pedal lighter than my single and had a more progressive/smoother take up. Yes the take up was super quick and was easy to stall but I found it easier to drive than my at the time new 9puk Xtreme XHD.

As the 9puk got to half its life it was almost like a normal organic clutch in its feel where as the OS is still nice tight and grippy.

i actually went from a TS2A to a 9 puck XHD extreme :) After the twin plate the single was a joy to drive and was about the same weight as stock. Still doesn't slip on me and still nice to drive

I went from stock to HD organic then to XHD 9puk.

The XHD felt 2x the weight of the HD and the HD was basically the same as stock.

I'm very keen to see how this GTR exedy pressure plate stacks up as I believe its up around 1500kg vs the 1180kg of the XHD I bought back in late 04.

I went from stock to an os giken twin plate and stalled straight away. I got so used to it an loved it after a while.

Now i have a JIm Berry clutch of some sort and it's a single plate. I hate it after about 4 days of driving it. It's too light, it's too easy(sounds good but it ain't) to drive and i hate not having a lightened flywheel now. I feel like i'm driving my sisters charade. I have a feeling i'll be going back to a twin plate soon.

I'm looking at buying an ORC 709D.. what do you mean by menace?

well some people have it and reckon it's easy to drive. they reckon mine isn't installed correctly...

it's actually really light, but has a hair trigger - on or off.

it's only done about 1,000kms, so might get better with some time.

it can be slipped, but I don't get 'used' to it as it get driven about once or twice a month :)

you might like it...

You will need at least 1000k's to break it in....

Then you will need to drive hard every time you see it playing up.

Most of us who use these clutches..whether it be Jim Berry or Nismo drive around in traffic

Once in a while you need to give them a hard time so they come good again.

In your case it is new...take it easy till you bed in your flywheel.

I have a Jim Berry one and I have problems with it when it is cold...bites quick like the way you are saying.

The worst problem is when I drive a standard car for a while then jump into mine...always end up stalling it

on take off the first two times.... :) ...but can't help it..the foot just comes up..not expecting that force.

lol good to see everyone has the same issues.

You only stall it cos you dont wanna look like a tool reving the car too hard, then u look like a tool for stalling it...but you get used ot it and then its fine.

Peak Hour is a bitch...I only drive it on the w/e anyway.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
