can i get new clutch plates instead of a new unit?????

[gtr sleeper]

i am pretty sure u can get it rebuilt???

I suggest that you should just get a new clutch. Clutches are pretty much 'protection' for your gearbox.

yes you can. I think it comes in around the $1k mark if you do that with the os gikens.

I would just buy the OS Giken rebuild kit, either type A or Type B depending on which bits you need when you have a look at it.

hmmmm. At @ $2151 if i was getting a new clutch i would definatley get one, but i already have a twin plate i can just replace plates. Ah well, i'll wait till this clutch dies before i make my desicion.

sounds like a decent deal.. are they better than the os giken ones? i want a clutch that will cope a flogging!!! all i gota do i sell my ca18det datsun 1200 now to get some more funds........

[T04GTR]

yeah. some people/businesses seem to charge heaps for nismo clutches.

evan though there one of the cheapest on the market (in yen)

for a nismo triple on ebay thats about 20% worn 300us is a pretty common price

y buy 2nd hand when u can buuy new... a clutch is something i would never buy 2nd hand... sould have fractures or something in it and you wouldnt know till it broke up........ dose anyone know how the nismo rates up against the os giken or hks or even exedy do multi plate now are they any good?

[Beer Baron]

the new nismo coppermix twin plate clutches are much more streetable than the OS Giken twins and tripples. I'm yet to witness how well the hold up on track, but they definately look to be the goods for street driving.

[rb27tt]

dude streetability aint something im concernd about.... i just want a clutch that will bite everytime i give it a big boot full.... i will have to wait to get funds up either way

With that sorta power you i think you will definetely need a triple plate. I dont think theres a twin on the market that will hold 400rkw's reliably IE Drag racing and launching . My nismo coppermix twin woudnt hold 450rwkw's reliably.
