Will This Clutch Fit/work

[muchogarcia34]

Hi all,

Just was wondering if anybody knew if a OS Giken Triple Plate and flywheel suited for a R32 GTR would work/suit my RB25DET gearbox? I've got an opportunity to get one but I'm just unsure if it will fit.

Cheers

depends if its early(push type) or late (pull type) the early one will work fine

A Triple sound good but I think over kill for you. Bragging rights only and you may not like it in traffic conditions.

Cool, just wondering why it would be overkill. I'm not too knowlegable with clutches so if you wouldn't mind elaborating that would be great. The car will be making around 280 - 300rwkws.

I have an Exedy Triple plate in my car, they are a pain in the butt in traffic if your an every day driver, you may stall your car a lot unless you can master its uses, they have a lot of grip and in a panic situation this could mean a car up you Ass , unless your running well over 400rwkw it would be a waste of time, a simple after market organic clutch would be my choice, IMO. I've got a Nismo Copper mix in my hot little hands and can't wait to install it.

Ziller hit the nail on the head, unless you need a triple plate, no matter the price, it's just not worth the reduced driveabiltiy. However to answer your question it will physically fit your gearbox/engine however you will require a pull to push conversion kit. I personally would stick with the pull set-up, they are nicer to drive especially in a multi-plate clutch. However if you decide on the OS kit we keep genuine Nissan conversion kits on shelf so feel free to drop me a line.

If you have any questions, or desire an Exedy clutch kit drop me a line.

seeing as your info saying you have an R34, id say you have a pull type, but best check... i have seen some cars with older model gearboxes in them.. so checking what is actually in yours is advisable before you buy anything.

an OS giken twin plate was useless enough for a regularly driven car.. little to no friction point, i can only see a triple being worse.. but have never driven a triple and from twin plate experience, the exedy hyper twins are just as bad. infact the hyper single is too.

as been stated already, buy a heavy duty for your car.. if you buy direct from a clutch specialist they can order you anything you want from exedy.. if your running abit of power, see if they can order you a HHDB normally cost an extra hundred to uprate it one further. once installed a HHHDB to an S13, despite being enormous, it was still lightyears more streetable than a twin.. that was with a 1200kg clamp load and a 5 puck button.

Hi Andrew, Pre February 1993 have a push type, post February 1993 have a pull type clutch. I was caught out, I have a 95 vspec GTR that had previously had a twin plate that was R32 spec (push type) so some funny business happened in the past! Yes its always good to make sure. Push type has the slave cylinder pushing out towards the rear of the car while the pull type has the slave cylinder pushing towards the front of the car. Cheers.
