mate there is an OS dealer in Aus too. www.otomoto.com.au

Rebuilding your OS clutch with exedy bits will not give you a new OS clutch. Just like rebuilding your HKS turbo with Garret parts does not = a new HKS turbo. If (when) I need to rebuild my OS twin plate, I will buy the new OS parts for it. no stuffing around.

1. there are two types of OS Giken twin plates, one is rated at 550 bhp and the other 700 bhp in a GTR (4wd and extra weight) so slightly more for GTST (2wd and less weight).

2. lots, we have had 650 bhp for 2 years in a circuit race GTR using the 550 bhp OS twin plate.

3. my local clutch shop put new linings on the OS Giken clutch plates, no problems.

Hope that helps

Hey SK, how did they reattach the clutch plates, and what material?

No one down here has the 1mm thick plates.. or know how to attach it?

The OS Giken clutch linings are bonded onto the disk on the road (lower power rating) spec multi plates, they also have coil springs for taking up the shock loading. The race (higher power rating) specs have no coil springs. The splined centre is rivetted to the disks. So the process is to drill out the rivets, keep the spined centres and replace the disk and linings with new parts. The equivalent Daikin parts fit pretty well.

Hope that helps:cheers:

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
