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:

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
