Is the current coppermix twin the same as the older g-max twin and is

the current coppermix twin like this...

My clutch has some rattle at idle at the lights. it slips fine when cold but when

hot becomes quite grabby -- so that I find it difficult to ease it into motion from a stop

without provoking drive-line shudder, to the extent the transmission (gear shift) will

visibly judder up and down.. in other words, when hot there is just no more

smooth slip available anymore. Just judder.. or fully "on"..

of course after you are moving, or you take off fairly smartly, all is good. The judder

is most difficult to avoid in fuel station forecourts, parking garages, etc. And only

when really hot. Eg, after 30 minutes of driving or more.

The new Coppermix is completely different to the older G-Max clutches. They are HUGELY smoother.

thanks, well, I guess I'll upgrade when it wears down too much.

I was told that almost all suitable clutches are like this, except for one expensive HKS model which doesn't rattle.

but it is good to know the current coppermix twin is better than the old g-max twins.

yep the G Max in my car does the same thing, judder and carry on... I actually find I drive it better in bare feet as I can really feel the catch point!

I used the Coppermix single in my old car and it was a lovely clutch but didn't hold the power I needed it to... never used the twin but I'd definitely consider it for an upgrade when this one is gone, supposed to be much better than the old G Max... there is a review somewhere from one of the V35 boys who put the Coppermix twin in his car, mixed results there though

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
