Hey guys, I have been scouring the forums for the last 2 hours or so trying to find some good advice on clutch upgrades. I have Nismo RS580 turbos and Tomei Poncams fitted. Naturally, the standard clutch has spat the dummy :P

Does anyone have any recommendations for 500-550hp and good pricing for my R33 GTR v-spec?

Thanks in advance, you guys are always brilliant :)

There are like 4 dedicated threads about clutches.

This is how it usually goes down.

Piggaz says nismo twin plate

I say NPC

Some dude comes out the bush and says I have a 4500lb clamp load on my jim berry clutch drivetrain doesnt even cry.

Try scouring the "drivetrain and transmission" section.

( I think a flywheel comes with the Nismo kit).

This.......

I'm sorry but there is a whole dedicated section for Clutches, Gearboxes and so forth. Please post/ask in the right section

Piggaz, you have a way with words Sir :) hahahahaha

What are the normal expected costs on something like that? IS it worth upgrading the flywheel at the same time to a Nismo?

It comes with one.

My coppermix has been in the car since 2005. Over 350 launches, 7000 rpm plus launches. Started life holding 370 kw, now holding 470 rwkw. No rebuilds, no slipping, no nothing. Set and forget.

With the Yen so weak ATM, you should be able to have one at your doorstep for under $2k. You even get a Nismo sticker!!!!!

The sticker is worth the 2k alone!! hahaha Thanks guys, sorry for posting in the wrong area. I have been looking at SAU for a long time now and still struggle sometimes to find the simplest stuff.

Thanks for your help all the same!

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
