So I've been given the opportunity to put in an OS Giken Twin Plate clutch in my R32 GTS4. I'm making about 200awkw, so nothing spectacular power wise. I'm getting it cheap so its almost worthwhile considering.

What I want to know is that other than strong muscular pain in the leg that it causes while shifting, is it hard to use in a daily driver? Do any of you use it in a daily?

yeah its the STR2CD jobber. The product specs say its for street use, but I've never met anyone running one in their daily, hence the hesitation. Don't want to regret putting it in afterwards.

Harden up :D

Mansoor (rukus) has one and swears by it - he reckons its easy to use

Shaun (sh@un) had the exedy twin and found it ok, but could be better

I say go for it :unsure:

so for question number 2... Theoretically the clutch and flywheel need to be balanced so that its not too heavy as a whole or too light that the flywheel degrades. when you guys put the twinny in did you get the matching flywheel from OS Giken or did you get a standard flywheel lightened or a lighter flywheel from another manufacturer?

they all come with a flywheel monkey. you cannot use a twin plate with any other flywheel than what it comes with as the cage attaches to the flywheel.

BB is correct and they usualy have a mark on them (Like an arrow on the fly and the clutch) so you line them up . I use a Nismo twin, a little more user friendly than OS but is fine .

Use it! I have one too. Pleasure to use, never had any leg pain.

What model Nismo do you have wrxhoon? I have the chance to purchase a barely used Nismo twin to replace the OS when it runs out of meat(not very long)

Nismo Super Coppermix twin 640ps, I'm using the Nismo larger slave with it as well. With all twin plate clutches you must not ride them , if you do you will wear them out real quick .

Got an os twin as well and its fine for daily duties. The 20 box blew so a 25 item went in with a larger slave and its not very heavy at all.

I have more trouble getting in the other halfs N16 with stalling as I am used to the OS item with how much lighter it makes things as you only need a blip to take off.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
