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:

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
