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 Guys,

haha, Steve i did have a bit of a play at a texi a few years back ( 1 run with a 3500rpm rev limit ;) )

Yeah i spoke to Marcus last year and will def go with him if i go ahead. His prices were by far the best!

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.

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA

      But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
