[w34ponGT]

[Hadouken]

You go rev limiter and then step off.

this, lol

nah I drive mine like a factory clutch around town, find friction point and ease away, no jerking or shoudering just nice smooth take off, has been in car for near 6 years and when I go to an event it gets bashed then drives home normaly, smother then any other clutch I have driven, and I have had quite a few, one got distroyed in 6 mounths, less then 5000kms

[w34ponGT]

yeh the one i got isnt old. must just be shit. when people dont do research on parts before they buy it this stuff happens. oh well

[GTRNUR]

Never paid anything and thats including a Nismo intercooler.

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

Great! There is a need for a clutch in my immediate future. The rebuilt nismo gmax red cover that I have is starting to make some odd noises... plus its a prick to drive thanks to some modifications done to it by the rebuilders.

Do you use the comp clutch Paul, or is the standard plenty?

I use the C spec. I had a look on RHD Japan last night and there was 2,000 yen or so difference. So sweet 2/10ths of nothing.

It's just a heavier pressure plate. With the torque of your stroker, just grab the C spec anyway. It really is a no brainer.

The Super Coppermix has the same driveability as a stock clutch, no savage pickup or jumping during operation.

Best clutch I have ever used.

If no one told you it was a twin plate, you'd think it was the stock clutch. No bullshit.

exactly, that is how I would discribe the twin plate I have

single plate clutchs and 300kw+ gtrs are only ever going to be a short term relationship, best I got was 12,000kms/1 year of "my driving"

[N1GTR]

Yeah, but you're an even bigger nutbag than Paul haha

Hey W34pon; i was facing the same situation as you albeit in a cheaper car; I'd suggest to you that your first instinct is probably right dude; it's gonna be the synchros unfortunately.

It can happen over time (mine gave out around 120,000km) but you can wreck a specific gears synchros by forcing it in when you don't have the gear shifter perfectly aligned...

...Which is easy to do when you are in a high stress situation; such as hammering down a drag strip... or chasing down some evo.

It just doesn't make sense to me that fourth (not a paricularly difficult gear) would be the only one you were having issues with but the others are fine.

When you said "notchy" that set my alarm bells ringing.. i remember very clearly that i used to be able to shift as easy as you would in an astra or a little corolla; and then it gradually changed to notchiness and being "locked out"... the car changes gears when it is ready; not you; and its completely random when it happens.

I am currently having my gearbox reconditioned at a jap specialist in ringwood... i guess if it comes out to a good standard i'll give a breakdown if you're interested.

[Hadouken]

this, somewhat true, but GTR boxes are a bit notchy, they arent corollas or pulsars lol.

let him buy the clutch. If its still f**ked then do some sick launches then replace the box

...Which is easy to do when you are in a high stress situation; such as hammering down a drag strip... or chasing down some evo.

love that line

[XKLABA]

Yeah, but you're an even bigger nutbag than Paul haha

hahaha, I can't argue that

just reread the thread and " little " is spot on with what he has said, when clutchs wearout they seperate further unless the plate has been bent and in which case all gears will give trouble, I'd say it"s time for new syncos

[R31Nismoid]

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

I reckon mine has done even more than yours, and it's still perfectly fine.

Hell I've done 8,000rpm full launches on Hoosier Drag radials - clutch didn't miss a beat and still hasn't.

+1 for coppermix, it really is the only choice for someone that wants the best performance, best clutch feel. They are MUCH lighter than any other twin I've used - ORC, OS etc.

And all Nissan boxes are a little "notchy" in GTR's I've found (GTR/RB25), not one car i've driven has been like silky.

The Getrag 6-speed though does have a different feel to it, you can notice it soon as you drive.

[R31Nismoid]

so how do you drive your twin plates around town? do u find friction point then take off or do u jolt ?

You can come drive mine round the block and see how the clutch feels if you want.

WARNING: You will want one after doing so.

[w34ponGT]

ohh hopefully its not the synchros

well at the qtr .. some guy moved my friction point higher and then it engaged after 2 seconds so it might just be the clutch. if it is. damage is done. il just smash it till it dies haha

nah i cant i love my car to much. id still baby the synchros even if their gone lol

ive had a few enquiries so il get one soon. thanks everyone for your advice

thread bump - is this the clutch that was being recommended by the masses above >> http://justjap.com/driveline/clutch-components/nismo-super-coppermix-twin-plate-clutch-640ps-471kw-nissan-skyline-bnr34.html

??

[Piggaz]

Yes, but that's the NON competition version... Hence the 640 ps power rating.

And order from Japan and you'll save yourself at least $500 compared to that price.
