hi guys looks like im up for a new clutch. when going down the qtr .. i cant smash 4th, it locks me out but will go in if i gently put it in. besides that all gears select fine. but a little notchy in normal driving

i dont know the brand of the clutch but it makes a chi-ching noise on start up (sounds boss)

so before i come to big dollars of new synchros il do the clutch

racepace have advised to get the nismo twin plate. has a hefty price tag..

what clutch have you guys used? what price? how many kms do you get out of it? is it good for qtr mile launches? (i dont track)

i just want a long lasting clutch because the one i got is appently only 10000km old

cheers

If you do a search in this section, you'll see they're easily the most recommended clutches by GTR owners. Racepace arent telling you to get it without good reason

Aaaahhhh, this old chest nut. Seems to be the new hit topic.

Coppermix fanbois, how are we? Haha

Mate if you got dosh, buy the coppermix, if you're stinge then get a npc 10"single button.

Easy peasy.

As for mileage, mr pig did a lot of abuse and the clutch still looks mint. So if you're worried about durability, don't be. Just don't ride the clutch.

Have you been riding the clutch you have currently?

Just did 35,000 of hard kms with close to 400 RWKW most of its life. Easily 250 7000 RPM launches on it. Engine came out 2 months ago and it's going straight back in. No rebuild, no new plates.

C spec is rated at 780 ps where as the normal version is 640 ps

KM will obviously depend on what sort of life you put it through.

Regarding sourcing one, I suggest you speak with Andrew from Kudos Motorsports - nice guy and knows his stuff. www.kudosmotorsports.com

Nismo kit comes with light weight flywheel - etc already too.

Hope this helps.

Im no expert but do you know what oil your running in your box? Its meant to be ATF. I suggest Castrol Transmax Z.

Grain of salt.

Best supplier for those is; elrodeo666 on these forums. He is in Japan now, so send him a PM and he may take a few days to reply but don't stress, he's a very honest and helpful person and the prices are great.

Does he manage to get parts past customs and GST? I'm not a fan of unnecessarily paying tax and duty.

Never paid anything and thats including a Nismo intercooler.

Even the head is coming in 'carry on luggage' haha!

it's amasing what can be stuffed in a bag and shoved in the over head,

I have Excedy twin in the 32, and Excedy triple in the 34, not had a drama with either, the twin is silent and drive better then the factory clutch and has about 1000 7500rpm launchs and this kind of abuse

the triple is a bit niosey and a bit bitey, but takes the same abuse without fail

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
