Nismo twin plate coppermix. I have the competition model which is rated a little higher with the Nismo Slave cylinder. I will NEVER change it for something else. It's behind a 400 rwkw 2.8 litre. Cant recommend it highly enough.

I have the same clutch, competition type as well, but for a gtst. It's actually called Super Coppermix-C

Interesting you have used the Nismo slave cylinder as it specifies not to be used on twin plate clutches. I was about to order it myself, but decided against it after reading about the warning and inquiring about it.

I got a quote of $1089 for the JB special. But after seeing what happened to Benm's car (flywheel exploded and wrecked the car) id rather go for a more expensive (and better to drive IMO) clutch that includes the flywheel

Also checkout NPC clutches, I should have my rebuilt clutch back from them this weekend.

I've heard there twin's are very good but expensive, ~2300, not so sure about the singles, haven't heard that much about them, there was a group buy on them on this forum not long ago....

2200 or thereabouts for a brand new twin plate is good value when you know it will never give you grief. The added benefit of NPC is they are very cheap to have rebuilt (should you ever want to sell it as a brand new clutch).

May be a little overkill for your application though.

I have to agree.. send Dan at ERD an email [email protected]

Dan and NPC have put together quite a few wicked clutches for me with flywheels for great prices!

and by far shit all over those jim berry's after seeing noel's explode and finding out he doesnt use the antiburst covers which is a must in my opinion for anything modified.

One word....Jim Berry

Thats 2 words :)

Bang for bucks go Jim Berry..with the current exchange rate the twin plate Nismo copper mix will cost twice that of Jims...lol

If you want BANG for your $$$ go JB

If you want a quality option with an anti burst cover that wont cause collateral damage @ a reasonable price contact Elite Racing

i got even better bang for my buck.

called up NPC today and ordered a custom clutch off them that will hold 350-370 awk. smooth to drive too i was guaranteed :P

As if that line hasn't been used before :P

Oh well, hope it works as well as they "guarantee"; if it doesn't what happens and who pays for the labour to remove and refit another clutch?

NPC does custom clutches like Jim Berry, they also do rebuilds, I got a pre-supercopper mix twin plate clutch rebuilt for $680, so if you get your hands on a worn clutch, just get a rebuild if you can't afford a brand new clutch (depending on condition of course).

I'd recommend NPC, the clutch feels very good so far but I won't know for sure until its worn in and I test it out properly :(

welllllllll......... after 2 weeks of this clutch something decided to go pop today whilst putting the hammer down. I cant get my car into gear. lets see what the prob is.

basically i went to snap 2nd gear and i heard a small clunk noise. then i couldnt get it into gear after that. But when the car is off i can put it into gear.

if i turn the car on whilst in gear and pressing the clutch the car goes to take off. faulty clutch or workmanship? i dont know. But i am definately pissed off right now.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
