Put it this way, my Nismo twin has taken easily 300-400 launches, 50 of those on drag radials before the diff destroyed itself and i tell you, the clutch was smelling like it was farked. Let it cool down though and it was good again.

Plus it's been in the car for ~30,000kms going off the old owner etc. So it's certainly proved it's value.

Tell me about it! They do put out quite a smell when you cook them! you think "well that's it I just farked my clutch" only to discover that it still drives fine and once it's cooled (which takes ages if you are driving still) the smell goes away.

mine is still going strong and I've done 100,000km on it!

what are the nismo coppermix single's like?

everyones talking about eh twin plate nismo's... how bout the singles?

It's a good question, as they are a reasonable price with the flywheel.

Same compound as the twin, just a lessor power ratting (so its easy on the foot)?

RWD only iirc,

Last DECA I managed to experience this playing around with my launch RPM, i'm glad you say that ;).

Oh yeah + another 2c for nismo twin plate (although I have the super coppermix? http://www.nengun.com/nismo/super-coppermix-twin-plate-clutch).

I've got a exedy heavy duty clutch in mine, I've got 270rwkw it feels like stock it should handle 300kw easy

It should be within your budget. I got my clutch through Racepace just ask them.

Thats what i got in at the moment at 250kw. my mate has just over 400 in his VL with a exedy heavy duty in it. the clutch has been in there for years with hundreds of launches and is still holding.

^^^^ No need, he is getting the Nismo at a very very good price!

James, if you are worried about if it's legit or not, I think it comes with an engine bay plate or something to that effect with the part #s on it, I know mine had one as it's stuck in the engine bay. They are extremely light on the foot (easy in stop start traffic even), much better than the high clamp load singles.

Yeah i was gonna say, $1800 is cheaper than any price I've ever seen (except for the LINK clear out sale last year).

$2000 ex-japan, but the lead/wait time is upto 2 months.

So local for $2200 - still a good price

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
