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.

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

Would you agree GHO5T

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?

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

Keep in mind all clutch places have different options.

Simply saying I tried an x brand clutch and it sucked doesn't mean they all suck.

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

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
