Time to buy a new clutch for my build as i need to get it balanced with my crank. Aiming for mid to low 500's at the wheels.

Opting for the OS TS2CD, item was originally in the vehicle and felt like OEM item (only had 350hp though). Can only find 1 site with its rating and it says up to 600hp. Have also been recommended the excedy hyper multi (twin plate), or the excedy hyper compe-d.

Im after a clutch feel that wont make my car a bastard of a thing to drive. The OS giken clutch that was originally in the vehicle felt like the OEM item and is why im opting for it this time too.

Your opinions pleas?

Yeah they are good. Being a "c" means it has the larger diameter plates so its power rating will be higher than the b type os twins. Os make great clutches. I've personally owned probably 5 or 6 in various cars all twins or triples and whilst they can be noisy and sometimes a bit grabby they are super reliable and in my experience their power ratings are fairly conservative. So if you'll have 500hp(or did you mean kw?) at the wheels then a 600ps rated os giken should be fine. Personally though if it were my car with a genuine 500hp atw and it was going to be track driven I'd consider a triple as with more surface area they deal with the power and heat really well and hardly wear at all if driven properly. But if you already have the twin and it's in good shape just use that.

Cheers for that Mr Baron.

Ended up ordering a TS2CD the other night off RHD for a pretty cheap price. Had to order another one as this one was KECK. Needed to get balanced with the crank so i kinda needed ASAP. Car will probly not see many (if any) track days. Was really happy with the way it performed before my engine detonated, just wasnt too sure if it could handle my new aimed power figures.

i'm sure you'll be happy mate. they're a good thing. should have just bought the rebuild kit though providing flywheel and cover were ok? comes with new plates, new sandwhich plate and new top plate/pressure plate and bolts. you just retain the original diaphragm, carrier and flywheel. cost around $1000-$1500 depending on model.

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
