Twin Plate Os Giken Clutch + Flywheel Is It Worth The Change?

[OMY31T]

hi guys, my dad recently got his hands on an OS Giken Flywheel, and twin plate 5 puck solid center clutch that came out of a c34. it needs new clutch plates, but seeing as though he rebuilds clutches they are worth next to nothing, and the clutch/flywheel/rebuild will cost me nothing as he wil do it... should i change up from a stock clutch.i know the gear changes will be more harsh, and might be a bit of a rougher ride, but im not using the stag as my daily anymore, so its not a big issue.

opinions? anyone else got a solid 5 puck twin plate that can comment on driveability?

cheers.

Depends what your going to use the clutch and car for? I would say no unless it's a hardcore car. There was a thread recently where someone purchased a car with one of these and swapped it out for a less harsh setup.... Would be a tough bit of gear but all depends on its use

thats what i was thinking, i just sold my toy car(r33) to scale down in power, and im only doing very mild mods to the stagea... aiming around the 260rwkw mark. i was personally thinking about putting in an NPC organic single, which was suggested by someone else, but seeing as though this clutch was sitting there in my old mans shop it was worth contemplating. im not to sure about the clutch itself or if its possible but i could have some custom sprung center plates made up, my old man has done me custom clutches in the past, i guess id have to talk to him, clutches really arent my thing lol, just like performance jap engines arent his haha, he is a holden man through and through.

I think your better off doing both, fixing the current twin plate and selling it to someone that will use and abuse and just get yourself the NPC and maintain the drivability and enjoy your car..... Personal opinion only

+1 for the npc clutch. I have 1 in mine and its great for a daily. Shout out for ERD for the install as well!

A twin-plate has its advantages (like a lighter pedal feel compared to a single of similar power handling capabilities), but if you want a twin-plate, go for a full-face one. I just recently replaced an Exedy single plate (was supposed to be a heavy duty) with a Nismo Super Coppermix twin, and the Nismo is so much nicer to drive with!
