Hi all

I have a TS2CD OS giken twin plate clutch in my skyline, and was wondering if anyone out there using a OS giken twin has a vibration from 1000-2000rpm, not there at very light loads, but otherwise it is?

I just want to know if I can cancel it out and start looking at uni's/centre bearings etc (because I heard twin plates rattle somewhat)

Thanks lads

they only rattle when your foot is on the clutch (that is the sandwhich plates rattle in the carrier).

I've had 2 OS clutches in the GTR. first an OS triple plate, and now and OS twin and neither did what you are describing. that's not to say it's not the clutch, but it's certainly not meant to be like that.

No vibrations in my OSG twin plate.

Mine rattles when the gearbox is in neutral and there is no pressure on the pedal. As soon as I touch the clutch pedal, the pressure plate has load and the intermediate plate stops rattling. Obviously in gear and clutch up, it doesn’t rattle either as there is plenty of load on the intermediate plate.

:D cheers :wub:

really? is that a push type? cause mine is silent when there is no pressure on the pedal in neutral. as soon as i put my foot on the pedal (disengaging the clutch) the intermediate plates (it's a triple) start rattling. It's the same with the new twin plate. foot on the clutch = plates rattle in the carrier. no foot on clutch = no rattle.

As does mine, yet Snowman's Jim Berry rattles the way SK describes it. Baffled me too when I heard it.

yeah the two nismo twins i've heard in R34 and R33 GTRs were both the oposite. they were noisy when off the peddle, quiet when on the pedal. so i would say it's to do with the pull type clutch vs the 32s push type.

I think maybe SK got it around the wrong way??

No I haven't, I very quickly got sick of people walking up to me when it was idling in neutral and telling me to turn my engine off because of the big end rattle. I make them go away by pushing the clutch in and the rattling promptly stops.

:nyaanyaa: cheers :laugh:

I'm guessing you are talking about Kris's and Nick's cars? They are using coppermix clutches which have a different setup to most twin plates. Both clutch plates drive a single hub. They rattle less than the normal types on idle, but they do rattle a bit under light load.

Yeah i actually have this problem. I remember reading somewhere on this site of other skylines with similar problems. I can't remember what the fix was but i don't think this problem was directly related to the clutch. Although maybe it is.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
