Wanting opinions on clutches for a R32 GTR

Power output Will be around 350-400wkw.

From what I gather the Nismo super coppermix twin plate is best stock feeling and rated to 700hp or there abouts.

Is this right?

Drags won't be a huge part of driving neither will big launches but will certainly see some of both. Circuit work being main use.

I can see why people ask questions over n over again.

I'm guilty of it too!!!

So don't worry about this mistake.

SAU search is crap (sorry ) I use google.com search then put sau at the end. finds what I want on SAU.

Use Nismo from all I gather from reading online it's dam good.

Solid center clutches are much more prone to damaging gearboxes. The Nismo has a sprung center, so TCO may be cheaper once you consider the gearbox repair costs...

Are the Jim Berrys solid or sprung center?

have any of you driven with a jim berry? feels like a factory clutch yet handling 3rd gear standstill drop into powerskid. and only $300 to rebuild when the time comes. Customer service, value for money he is unbeatable

yes it feels like factory if by factory you mean feels like it came out of a 12ton truck

Have driven one and was one of the worst clutches for street driving I have ever used. Nismo twin for street driving every time, feels factory and holds over 475wkw in a Gtr

Just a FYI, there might be an issue with availability with Jim Berry's clutches.

He has moved shop & I understand is now doing less working hours then before. Last I spoke to him a few weeks back he mentioned this.

So I just got the Nismo twin for my car & all is well. Very impressed with it. +1

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
