hi,

i've just had my current clutch fail after just over 6months! so im looking to replace it with either a nismo single plate or twin plate clutch.

My car is an r33 gts-t with 350hp (with possible 400hp in the near future), would i be better of just using a nismo single plate?

Also how is the twin plate for daily driving?

cheers michael

bloody excellent.

i just switched from an ORC to the Nismo super coppermix twin and it drives like stock. Doesn't rattle when either engaged or disengaged.

haven't launched it yet (don't really plan to) but it is a sweet sweet clutch.

my car is an early GTR, so push type (will be same as yours)

i don't drive the car every day but now it really can be driven daily.

hmmm

quick question is a twin plate over-kill for my 350hp possible 400hp in the future.

price difference is like $400ish... no point spending the money if i dont need it

Im in the same position as you. Im making 300hp at wheels now. And im leaning towards a twin plate. Cos the 260rs is a heacy car so it abuses the clutch when launched from a dead stop. Im planing to make 300-320kw@wheels in about 1 yr. So...

im also leaning towards the twin, i will be ordering mine tonight, so should be here in 1-2weeks, i let you know what its like once i've install it

I just bought one of those clutch`s got it yesterday. I bought a Nismo - Big Operating Cylinder to go with it just incase i felt it was abit heavy on the pedal.

Just waiting on arrival of other stuff from Japan before get it all installed.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
