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:

same here!

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
