I run a Competition Steel Hatted Os Giken Twin Plate in my R32 GTR TS2CD

Heavier on the pedal than most about a 7 out of 10

Plate rattle is quiet in comparison 3 out of 10

Clutch Grab is a positive and awesome 10 out of 10

pedal feel is excellent and driveable in traffic 6 out of 10

replacement plates (rebuild kits) 5 out of 10 (cost bit over half of new clutch)

Durability of Clutch 10 out of 10 (this clutch has seen, im sure over 1000 launches)

Tell us a bit about yours so others can determine what they would like to buy in the future

My hope is to work out whether to rebuild my clutch or go new

Thanks everyone in Advance :(

No-One use Twin Plates?

they are only mandatory for GTRs

:P:D:mad:

Pffft why? There's two types of people that use twin plates, those who need them because their making big power (400kw+) and those that don't like their gearbox's :D Well thats what I seem to see over and over again anyway :D

I have the OS TS2CD twin plate an absolutely love it, easy to drive good in traffic not to heavy that is, good bite and enough play so that you dont feel like you have a brass button in or out oh my god i hated those.

Great for launches for those that know how to do it properly without leaving your driveline on the floor behind you :down: and believe me some drivers are brutal. I will definately keep this or replace unless i chase more power and its out of its limit.

Os Giken make quality parts and i like to know that i have good parts in my car you pay for what you get.

TS2CD, bought it as it was cheaper second hand than anything else i could have got for 30det, awd.

a little bit of slip, enough to drive it reasonably in traffic. yet enough bite to side step it with a few revs on.

pretty noisy tho, like a couple of dinner plates in the tumble drier. if you know what the noise is its not a worry tho.

Really dont get your Reply!

What do you have in your GTR?

What Power output?

and Pffft WHy? Where should i Start why!

any way tell us what you run so all can make their own mind up

The pfft why was in regards to your 'twin plates being mandatory for gtr's' comment. I don't understand why people put crazy clutches in cars that don't require them, it's cheaper to smash a clutch than it is a gearbox, the clutch should be able to hold maybe 10% more power than what the car is making otherwise it's just overkill, thats my opinion anyway.

My car makes about 300kw and i'm using a stock clutch with no issues, car is used mostly for weekend outings and track......

Nismo coppermix competition model (740 PS or something like that)

Very easy to drive, isnt noisy has never slipped. Wouldnt even bother looking at any other clutch... Im too happy with this one!

Seen the power rating for the 2009 model? Finally its getting closer to what the HKS GTRS guys need :)

This is a bit of a funny thread.

Sure singles do the job, but there's just something about the way twins work in GTR's that makes you think they should come standard.

Launching time after time, hard changes, positive feeling on changes etc - SO good!

I regret selling my nismo twin, have an os giken triple plate currently, as soon as nismo increase the c spec twin to handle 800hp ill be back with one of them.

Cant compare os giken to nismo, sure they both feel good by themselves, if you dont believe me, do a test back to back. Nismo will win.

With that said there's also some quick GTR's on tricked up singles.

End of the day, its personal preference, and out of all the GTR owners i know, only 3 have single's. :)

I'm probably still on the stock single! Are you suggesting that I change to twin? Hearing so much about launching makes me want to do it but after starting at around 4000 or 5000rpm once and getting the burnt smell after kinda put me off from doing it ever again until I'm sure it's safe to do it.

im using a NPC billet twin plate.... very light clutch pedal, quiet rattle and easy pickup 10/10 in my opinion!

im using the same...NPC billet is the mother of all clutches...properly set-up to each cars requirements is the way to go when buying a clutch. Im not a fan of out of the box, one size fits all clutches. Even a properly set-up custom single plate will out perform most of the multi plate off the shelf offerings.

Dont bother launching on the stock clutch :D

Hi Guys, im new to this forum,

Ive just bought a GTR last week with supposibly 330 RWKW and a Os giken twin plate.

I think it has more like 280rwkw and the clutch is screwed.

It slips really badly and is on its way out shortly.

What clutch should i get, keeping in mind i only drive the car on the weekend and maybe ill try a track day.

I obviously dont need a twin plate again, How much do you need to spend to hold say 310rwkw?

89 gtr push type

thanks

^ same, orc 709d. When new it was a right bitch to get going, unless using a generous serving of rev's and a rapid release.. now it is very nice but with a decent bite. Seems to handle everything I have thrown at it so far, and I'm not real kind. Jangles like everything is stuffed with the clutch in, makes a funky noise on cranking.. all part of the character.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
