I had the double, it was great. I never regretted choosing it over the single tbh.

You'd hate to not have enough, have to install a clutch twice if you're over 300kw.

Buy once, cry once etc.

I agree with go for the twin if you are worried about power, for the extra cost it holds a lot more.

You lose no drive-ability, nor does it get loud.

 

So only downside is the wallet. 

 

Unless you have one already, then carry on ...

380kwatw in my old 33 GTST with the nismo coppermix

Held fine

The gearbox on the other hand, well, it was fine for cruising around, but with sticky tyres they didn't last long if you were actually using the power

Start budgeting for a better transmission if you plan on "using" the power

Thanks,

was that the single or twin?

 

Thanks for the feedback ..

 My car makes about 320kw at the engine .. and at the moment I have a OSG Twin installed.

Now after 13,000km it started slipping in 4th/5th. I think the stop and go traffic killed it since the plates are worn.

In an EMail OSG said the clutch is more geared towards harsh engagement and would wear used 'normal'

The OSG refresh kit would cost me around GBP 450 plus (taxes, postages etc)

The Nismo Single GBP 710, the Nismo Twin GBP 1,140 (all plus)

 

That's why I was thinking just getting the single to get a bit more life out of the clutch.

I also never liked the rattle of the OSG twin.

On the other hand just buying the refresh kit would be the cheapest option.

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
