NPC make some of the best clutches around. Their twins are used in 1000+hp cars. I run an NPC single with 600hp no problems !

only a single.... launchs, drivability ?? do you know if they are like the Jim Berry ones which have mega clamp like the one I have now with 4200lbs clamp, feels like a sledgehammer hitting the drivetrain ?

Having used both Jim Berry single plate and NPC id have to say that both are excellent in high horsepower applications. My current NPC twin plate cops over 1000hp every launch and is nice and quiet unlike the Jap items that have that annoying rattle.

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the NPC range of twin plates..........

or what about nismo coppermix twins are they rebuildable ???

I had one in my rb30/26 running 580hp and the preasure plate smashed after a week and destroyed my gear box. I was only running the cluch in no launches at all. It was a single plate 5puk from npc

ive used alot of clutch brands and my npc twin is by far the best drivability and ive never had any hint of slip with 600rwhp, 1750kg car and revlimiter drag launches with a dogbox. I have used an os giken quad and it was annoying to drive, on and off engagement which sucks. The NPC is so smooth to engage and its such a soft pedal feel considering the power it can hold. I would have no issue using it as a daily driver clutch its great.

Ive also used direct clutch twin plate, extreme singles as well to compare.

They are cheap too compared to the jap brand options so its definately got no compromises.

From the last time it shit its self I sent it back and had it rebuilt to handle even more power. Funny thing is I'm running less power then last time. Now 450hp and the piece of shit clutch let go yet once again but this time it smashed the box clean off the block. I was changing from 2nd to 3rd. I should of learnt work's the first time it let go. Now I will use what I know works. Hks or os or a orc so I don't have to pay labour to remove the gear box and pay for a new box and clutch because some price of shit clutch can't handle half of what it is built for. Buyers be warned. And customer service is f**ked when you send them back. They try anything to get out of it

was this the NPC 10inch ceramic button sprung clutch? I'm having one installed in my GTR today (380awkw) - I hope to God that I don't have the issues that happened to you. I guess I'll find out soon enough lol

basically I just wanted a quick swap over clutch so I didnt have to leave my car at a shop for a week or two while my OS Giken twin plate gets rebuilt. I was told this clutch can handle 600hp at the wheels - so I thought I would try it (cost were much cheaper than the NPC twin). At worst I can always get the OS Giken reinstalled (after rebuilt) if I'm not happy with the NPC 10" ceramic button sprung clutch.

I'll do a review on the NPC 10" ceramic button sprung clutch after I run it in - will post it on this website. Hopefully my pressure plate won't explode.

Ah fair enough

Not sure if theres any difference between the GTR and GTST clutches, but mine has a lighter pedal feel than my old exedy cushion button, isnt to much worse to live with every day (takes a little while to get used to but not so bad)

Bites damn hard, and has never slipped for me once. Going strong for over a year now.

I dunno what else to say about it lol

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
