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 ?

well. my car has a r3c. solid centre etc etc. ive had os ts2,npc built os ts2. girlfriend has orc 709d. and all of my os giken ones are way easier to drive. harder pedal. but way easier.

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..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
