does any one have torque specs on this os clutch

i found some specs on the os site but cant read jap n the translator is not helping

in the pic below i have painted the 10 mm nut n 5mm allen key that i need the torque specs for

any help would be fantastic

10mm high tensile bolts, 25ft-lb, 28ft-lb max. Use some medium strength loctite on the thread and you'll be fine. The outer bolts dont carry the power your engine is making, they only need to handle the pressure of the pressure plate itself.

thanks for the reply v spec r33

the only measurements i can find on the os site r 1.8 kgm =13.2 ft-lb

and 14.5 to 15.5 kgm =108.5 ft-lb but that must be for the fly wheel bolts

it says 3.0 kg m but thats for the super single ( its the only part that would translate for me )

cant really work out what measurement is for what

if i tighten the 10 mm some spin at about 12 ft-lb n some will tighten up to 27 ft-lb

heres the site i ve been trying to work out

http://www.osgiken.co.jp/pro_clutch/pdf/clutch_manual.pdf

its a pdf n the only measurements i can find r on page 5

thanks again for your help

I didnt have any luck with the PDF... it just sat there saying buffering for 10 minutes and displayed some crap in japanese...

I should be more clear with what ive said, so... asuming your talking about bolt thread diameter and not the size socket used for tightening it up... general standards for torque on bolts are:

6mm - 6-ft-lb if using normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts.

8mm - 14ft-lb if using normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts. If using ARP/Raceware fasteners or grade 12 bolts you could go to 18ft-lb.

10mm - 25ft-lb if normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts. ARP/Raceware will handle 28ft-lb.

Its safer to be under the torque spec than over it. Bolts are designed to stretch as things expand when they get hot. If you have tightened it too much and the bolt doesnt have any stretch left it will break. In the case of the flywheel bolts, the stresses they are under are mainly thermal expansion of the pressure plate hat.

Your flywheel bolts sound right at the 108ft-lb. Though to be sure you can check that spec in any skyline or holden vl RB30 service manual as it will be the same regardless of the clutch your using.

    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to it's full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so damn hot in there, that made it all the more easy to remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that. 
    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
