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 Sales@erd.com.au

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

As if that line hasn't been used before

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?

Another vote for the Nismo Super Coppermix here.

I ran one for close to 3 years and the car handled in excess of 350awkw without a problem.

il see how it goes

Keep us posted......

the npc clutch is just awesome. drives like a cushioned button clutch. pedal feels about 20% harder than stock (love it though)

and it holds a nice rev n dump with ease. very bitey!

[some_cs_student]

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

[donkey]

hey, just got a HKS twinplate in my R33 GTR, real sweet, light clutch pedal, easy to use, never stalled once

[Bumblebee]

why not just go a jim berry clutch...

[R33GOD]

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.
