Hi Guys,

there's heaps on here about the coppermix twins, but not many reviews on the singles.

I've read the NISMO brochures and know that they're good for around 420ps, but am hoping someone has one in a GTR that can give me a bit of info and their thoughts.

Being a fairly stock car, my 32 putts around with about 280 rwkw on high boost which is rarely used. I'm actually thinking of removing the boost controller all together and just going with the stock solenoid so i think power wise it should be ok.

At the same time though, i want to be sure it'll do the job for years to come, even if i do decide to punish it every know and then. Have read a fair few reviews on them being used in higher power S15's and S14's but am curious about how they go in an AWD

Please no "speak to Jim Berry" comments. I've got one in at the moment and am not happy with it. Just my personal taste.

The twin will be overkill for a stock car, so no point spending the extra k ( or close to)

Cheers

I had one, felt like stock (thought it was stock until pulled it out and got a surprise), took a beating and never had any problems with it. Used it to 262rwkw, never slipped once. You'll be very happy Bobby, go for it. Send a PM to elrodeo666 for buying one - he's a fkn legend and you wont find someone who not only has them cheaper but more importantly he keeps you updated throughout the process from start to finish.

I have to say though, I went from the nismo single to the nismo twin version, didn't regret it at all. While i understand the cost difference, they drive very similar and the twins are so great on a dirty great big launch for when we finally get you on the skidpan ;)

Thanks Alan,

read somewhere that they're quite noisy?

Little bit of extra rattle from the lightweight flywheel, as expected. But nothing extreme.

Mainly on idle and through low RPM range.

You may have heard that in the product warning - http://www.nismo.co....tch/lineup.html

  • The sports clutch discs and light weight flywheels, which are designed and manufactured to increase capacity for higher output and to improve clutch response, may cause the transmission or bearings to make a rumbling noise which is not present when using the original Nissan production parts. Such noise is particularly likely to occur when idling or when accelerating and decelerating at around 2000 rpm. Please be aware that this rumbling is not due to any defect in the parts.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
