mine makes a funny noise sometimes i think thats just a heavy duty clutch for you. I have an exedy Hyper clutch, the gear change is a bit stiffer and the clutch pedal is harder too but did soften slightly after a couple of weeks. ps nicely have u had your caron the rolling road recently?

I've heard aftermarket clutches which makes a grinding noise when clutched.
Kinda like a coffee grinder
Supposed to be normal for some clutches.

Is the noise from your clutch a coffee grinding noise?

 

[Nicely]

Only when you give it beans... :wack:

Yeah, could be that sort of noise. Lift-off in 3rd is like the noise you get when you do change-down braking - only 2-3 times louder.

 

[Yakozan]

So it's making noise even though you're not engaging the clutch pedal?

Never heard of that before.

have a haevy triple plate clutch in an ek9 and it makes noise espically when u downchange to higher revs under hard breaking just normal i think!!

your super coppermix clutch is going to make one hell of a noise when cruising along at certains speed... best way to describe it is like a resonating sound.

If your running nismo engine and gearbox mounts, the noise will be even worse... it has to do with the super coppermix being an unsprung version. we have at least 3 s15s in the NSCC with this clutch and they all exhibit the same terrible noises when driving, it gets so loud sometimes that if your talking its easier to stop talking or accelerate to get past the resonating.

 

[Nicely]

Yeah, that's sounds about it... Pickup seems one hell of a lot more crisper in higher gears though...

 

[Yakozan]

Note to myself:
Don't buy the Nismo coppermix when the stock clutch gives in.....


:wave:

don't let it put you off though, they are an awesome clutch.....

 

[Nicely]

Yep. Beginning to realise that. It's just the noise that's been scaring the feck out of me...

Did any of the other guys have trouble with the slave piston not pushing the fork enough to engage the clutch?

I'm with Yako on this one i think....

Productive and destructive day today. Managed to do and oil change, coolant change, fit my subframe locking bushes AND sort my rear callipers (finally). A word of warning about callipers. Never fit them with the bleed valve on the bottom if you want to get the air out...

Destructive bit was the plastic radiator drain screw snapping in the radiator when I put it back in :annoyed: Of course, my local Nissan muppets don't open their parts department on Saturdays, do they... Top bodge #52: fill the inside of the drain outlet with Blu-tack, them fill a beer top with exhaust filler and stick it over the end of the outlet. Seals the Blu-tack in and won't come off under pressure (I hope). Means I can lever the bottle top off later and get to the broken screw inside...

 

[Ansch]

good excuse to get a thicker radiator then!

 

[Nicely]

I've got one arriving today Not a huge rad, but a slight upgrade. Capable of 400bhp, so more than adequate.

 

[Nicely]

Just thought I'd add this to my own thread rather than just Yako's

The subframe collars have made a phenomenal difference to the rear end tightness (the car that is ) in cornering :nod: :thumbs:

 

[Topper]

:ghey:

 

[Nicely]

Slightly different engine bay look.

25mm rad installed. Fan cowling removed (fan reattached). Slight rearrangement of pipes and hoses.

 

[Topper]

Does the cowling not fit now?

Rad looks good :thumbs:
