As a novice, I did a lot of searching and listening to blokes on SAU that are running 350 to 400awkw + and they swear by the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin "Comp Spec" mine had the ( lightweight flywheel kit) , as a DD they say it drives like , close to a standard clutch and rated around 740HP+ if you want to turn the wick up.

If anyone is interested, I am pulling out an "OS Giken Quad Clutch" with about 4000 Klms on it, no track work but a fare few launches :) I was advised to change it as it is too strong and I needed something a bit more forgiving on my standard R34GTR box.

May very well be a dumb question but can you modify the quad plate to run as a twin plate (ie removing the two additional plates)?

How much are you looking for?

Also is it likely to damage anything if I ran a quad on mine?

Cheers

As a general rule (and I think Kat mentioned this) RHD is what is listed with freight.

I've not been charged any additional charges for kit over $1k that I have ordered from that site.

* Also as mentioned IF it is in stock 2-3 weeks. IF it is not can be 2 months.

(The reason I got the Xtreme twin plate was that my clutch was shot and I could not wait 6-8 weeks for the Nismo Comp)

No because the carrier is different

Do you have to add gst to the prices quoted on rhd or is it pay what is listed at the checkout and that's it?

No, that is something our Gov may charge.

But Free trade agreement with Japan is probably why no one has needed to pay duties.

Thanks everyone for their thoughts.

Ended up sourcing a twin plate nismo gmax clutch from a forum member for an absolute steal and john will be fiiting it up next Monday.

From what i've read up on these, they're completely different (inferior/older) than the coppermixes but will be more than what I'm running atm.

Cheers

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
