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.

sig.

yeah i should have specified my problems a bit better :rofl:

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.

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).

Hmmm....how much is a little?

Im pretty sure there is an adjustment on the rod that goes from the pedal to the slave.

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

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.

Hmmm....how much is a little
?

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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
