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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
