Nismo twin plate. Best clutch money can buy for a street driven car.

Anyone who's driven one will agree.

Dont be scared by "twin", it drives exactly like a single, until you thrash it, and then it behaves even better and retains the stock pedal feel the entire time.

Btw i dont use one, i sold my one - and regret it everyday.

How does it compare to a HKS Twin Plate in your opinion?

My car came with a HKS Twin Plate and my understanding there is not much play with the Twins as it is either IN or OUT...

The clutch eventually worn out and as my car is pretty much stock so I went for a genuine Nissan R32 GTR Single Plate just to save from any hassles.

The Nismo twin isnt an "on" or "off" clutch like pretty much every other multiplate option.

Ive driven exedy twins aswel (nismo clutches are sourced from exedy then modified and resold), the difference is shocking. So far none of the other jap brands are close to the nismo IMO :)

Only problem with them is that the highest rated power for an R32 with standard gearbox is 740hp. If you stick an R34 getrag in you get a higher rating of 780hp. Both of those numbers are for the C spec versions (they rattle when clutch in). The C spec versions are a bit more costly but not by much, certainly not by enough to put you off getting one. Once you wear it out though, places like NPC can rebuild them to suit more power if needed. Also, if you can, buy one in stock in Australia, as they're fkn heavy to be sending by mail

I might be in the market for a new clutch soon. My car is stock.

Any recomendations?

do not get a brass button type

they feel shit house....

be aware that the OEM flywheel is a DUAL MASS... which cannot be machined and is recommended to be replaced whilst replacing the clutch. alot of GT-R owners piss the Dual mass flywheel off.... but in doing that........ a slight rattle sound will appear.

So better off getting the OEM then? ANy one know how much they are?

Did you read the above 2 posts?

Nah better off getting a nismo twin plate and putting up with the rattle, oh well that why i do anyways :D ..

You car sounds fantastic. Sounds exactly like mine did with the twin plate.

EDIT: Yours has been at autostyle before yeah?

Ive got a Nismo Super Coppermix Twin with a Nismo slave cylinder which makes the pedal feel exactly like stock. It rides like a stock clutch but when you want to launch hard, it just grabs like a mofo. And having a lightened flywheel makes your revs pickup and drop faster.

Ok, lets rewind! Sorry I read all the posts but I was in a hurry. Now I have gone though them again.

So sounds like the Nismo one is the way to go, I never thought they would be so expensive!

With the nismo one, do I have to replce the dual mass fly wheel? No mods needed with the Nismo one right? Lets just say my clutch jas been changed b4, and the dual mass fly wheel has been removed, is it easy to buy another one and place it back in?

With this rattle, is it quite loud?

You do need to change the stock flywheel, they are not compatible. But the good thing is the Nismo clutch includes a lightened flywheel already. It's also a straight up bolt on and a pull-type clutch, unlike a lot of other aftermarket clutches these days which are push-type (hope I got that right) so you need to buy all these f**king extra bits to make it pull-type, if you can understand that lol.

Dont forget there's 2 types of Nismo clutch kits for an R34 GTR, (well there's actaully more but have been discontinued)

1. Nismo G-Max Twin

2. Nismo Super Coppermix Twin

2nd one has higher HP rating, bigger clutch plates and another thing I cant remember atm.

The last thing is probably that the Gmax doesnt rattle, and all C spec's do :laugh:

Yeah they're not exactly $500 brass button clutches.

These were the best thing to buy IMO when the exchange rate was better.

Remember though, they come with everything needed for install including flywheel.

If you'r car is stock and will remain stock, personally i think a $3k Nismo Twin plate is slightly overkill.

Especially if she's a daily driver and won't be seeing any track time or constant hard launches.

Why you would fork out for a clutch designed to hold double if not tripple your planned power baffles me.

Another clutch you can consider will be the ORC clutch series. The ORC twin plate clutch retains the stock clutch feel as well.

I might have to check up on this brand

My car is completely a weekend cruiser with no launches, flat shifts or trackwork so when it comes time to replace i may as well go for the less overkill clutch...thanks for the hint

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
