Hey guys going to be purchasing a new clutch for my 33r vspec in the next few days, from you experience which clutch would be preferrable.

OS Giken STR2C for $2257 off greenline

ORC 559 Series - Twin Plate Clutch - 550ps for $1835

Any feedback would be appreciated as i intend to purchase soon and have had no multiplate clutch experience :S

Cheers in advance

I shall be contacting Jim Berry tommorow, as he seem to be highly recommended by members

How much power are you chasing?

Jim berry FTW. I have also heard great things about NPC clutches, I have never used one myself but if its good enough for Mark Jacobsens 7 second 32 they should go alright....

You should try to get a drive in a multi plated car first to see what its like.

Mark uses a slider clutch in his car...but did run 8's with an NPC twin plate...the same clutch i also use. NPC's are good because they dont have the annoying rattle like the jap ones do.

car will be running max 400, down the track, but at the moment its running arnd 300... HP that is.

Hey blitz, yeh i saw the nismo's but were quite a bit more expensive than the os and the orc. How much better do you rate them? Have you driven many twin plate's?

I'm in the same situation as this member.

I can get the ORC 559 brand new for 1100 $

or

OS giken 400$ used ( so figure 600$ for new disk) and it's 1000$ for an almost brand new twin plate clutch.

My car:

BNR32 425WHP and 350 lbs of torque.

I can get trap in traffic 2-3 times a week,( 30 minutes of stop and go!) so I need something that will be good enought for daily and good for 5k launch!

From what I can read, Os giken seems to be really good OVERALL but from what I can read the orc 559 *should* be more easy on stop and go ( daily-driven) but now, you are saying it's easier to slip. Man, I don't know, why there's so much brands and product offered hahahaha!!

By the way, would ORC or OSGIKEN be quieter ? or pretty much the same.

NPC twin plate is about $1400 I think. Choice of twin plate button or twin plate cushioned button

I have an NPC single plate 10" sprung button in mine and its amazing. Nearly as soft as stock clutch and it grabs really hard and also isnt to hard to drivein traffic. Give them a call, the guy that I talked to was very helpful

Forgot to add, the price for Nismo Coppermix comes with a flywheel too which save you the trouble of machining yours. I doubt the price of the NPC ones comes with flywheel.

If you're after something thats easy on the foot and will manage more than 300 or 400awhp, ATS and Nismo are the way to go. I've never seen/read anyone complaining about them.

My GTR make 425whp with 350 lbs of torque.

I found a brand new ORC 559 with brand new flywheel for 1100$

or

an OS giken TS2B used but it was been rebuilt with their A kit. This guy ask me 1300 $.

Which one would last longer on the drag ? i.e takes more abuse.

In terms of daily-driving or streetability ?

In terms of noise ? Does the damper help to make less noise ?

And lastly, does one cluch brand need more modification to fit than another ?

only reason i prefer the os giken is that they can be really abused and still hold up. but like any multiplate. slip it to much and the centre plates can worp. so id pic the one with the thicker centre plate.

not sure how you would find out but..

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
