NPC gave me a rather nice looking quote - 10inch heavy duty copper mix organic - $643.50 inc gst for the kit. $450 inc gst for a revsolution flywheel...Thoughts?

you know my thoughts.......what's the diameter of a factory plate?

I installed a Extreme cushioned button on a mates car not long ago, drives like standard, holds 350 + rwkw, took out a exedy cushioned button that melted! and was bloody heavy under foot too.

Extreme have got there skylines kits well sorted these days, would recommend no problem at all.

My Extreme cushioned button didn't end up to well, but it did have a hard life from me.

A Nismo Tiwnplate Coppermix, i don't have ~$2k to throw at a clutch, and if my parents found out i spent that much they would freak....they will most likely freak anyway, they hate the car and the amount of money i spend on it. I also cant wait 28days for it to arrive from Japan via Nengun. As for the factory plate size, no idea, but i would say 9.5-10".

Chad, Didn't you have that made up by NPC?

Ever thought of getting a second hand twin plate from a wreckers? Ive seen a fair few coppermix clutches for sale at certain import wreckers yesterday. Providing they have plenty of meat left on them, they could be a cheaper option.

I run an OS triple plate in my car - with a Nismo oversized slave cylinder it is really kind on the pedal feel, only slightly heavier than stock. My OS twin plate prior to this one was like driving a standard clutch albeit with a slightly harsher friction point. Driving in traffic with either of these clutches was fine, and they also hold after repeated 8500rpm+ launches :)

Alot of incorrect info flying around in here.

The whole idea of going for a twin plate is to avoid a heavy pedal....which is what a single with a thicker diaphram will give you.

I'm not even a fan of the singles with solid centres that are running buttons because they are very unforgiving on you and your driveline......these don't affect pedal pressure though.

Triple plate is a total waste of time for your car Abe.....not to mention that you will always be trying to release 3 plates before you can change years...not very good for lightening shifts.

Nismo have probably done more testing on GTR's than anyone else in the clutch department and have come up with 2 versions of the Twin Copper Mix one has a slightly heavier diaphram than the other, hence slightly heavier pedal but more clamping pressure.

I ran the lightest of the 2 Twin Copper Mix kits and found the pedal to be lighter than the factory single because they rely on surface area (being twice as much) and not clamping pressure which gives the heavy pedal. The use of organic material is for forgiveness on your driveline (ability to slip it in traffic) but with a mix of copper to increase grip and reduce fade on the track.

IMHO, either of the 2 Nismo twin setups give you flexibilty between street and track which would suit your specific requirements Abe.

Having said that, a car that's used mainly for track like Andrew's (Blue 32) would not benefit from this set up as he would want very little slip and lightening changes.....plus he doesn't idle in traffic so clamping pressue is not a problem in this instance.

Correct Pete! I had an os giken twin plate in mine (changed from an extreme 750kg pressure plate with organic clutch plate) and it was lighter and more driveable...Driven a nismo twin plate in a 33 gtst as well and it was much much better then his puck clutch he had in it before! I'd always go twin plate if i had my choice (and budget allows)

Fitted my fmic intercooler piping kit. What a pain in the arse that was. :) Couldn't be arsed trimming the radiator fan, so I've removed it altogether for the moment. Does anyone recommend an electric fan kit?

I'll need to fit one before the track day.

:)
