Making My Clutch Easier To Use

[sigsputnik]

hi guys,

i have an os giken twin plate, probably TS2CD. what i want to know is:

can it be modified so it's more like a stock clutch (i.e. by replacing the centre or something)?

if not, i guess i should replace it (say with a jim berry - unless he could modify it?). what would you advise?

relevant info:

1994 r32 gtr

power fc (not yet installed)

HKS turbo Actuators

HKS air pods

5Zigen turbo-back exhaust

550cc injectors

cheers all.

A NISMO big operating cylinder will help, you can get them from greenline or nengun, or some other places

just what i was going to say.

i need all trhe help i can get wih my bloody nismo tripple

[sigsputnik]

yeah i should have specified my problems a bit better

the main things are that (a) it bites hard and (b) it grips in about a centimetre. this makes hill starts and moving off at low revs a real problem. i stall it a lot. i also spin the wheels a lot.

would a new slave fix these? or something else?

If it takes up close to the floor don't use a larger diameter slave cylinder because that will make it worse.

[sigsputnik]

it takes up close to the driver (i.e. away from the floor)

A bigger slave will make the take up a little more gradual, the low or high take up point can be ajusted .

A Nismo slave is a little bigger and will help a little , it won't feel as sudden ( the take up).

Im pretty sure there is an adjustment on the rod that goes from the pedal to the slave.And ive had my os giken twin for 18months and i still spin the wheels on hillstarts sometimes.

Hmmm....how much is a little?

i thought the adjustment on the shaft only moved the take up position, but not the suddenness or distance of the takeup....?

[rbs30]

Yeah the adjustment does only move the take up position,which you said is too close,so thats how you can adjust that.As for the suddenness of the take off,putting a bigger slave in will help a fair bit but you will pretty much just have to get used to it.Thats all just part of having a twin plate.

?

Standard slave is 3/4" and Nismo is 13/16" diameter( about 8.5% bigger) . When you use the Nismo slave the pedal will feel a little easier to push as well.

Correct

[sigsputnik]

thanks for that, time for me to research this nismo slave.

part of me wonders if it wouldn't just be easier to sell the os giken and put in a different one...but i can see a new slave would be cheaper and easier to fit.
