My R33 Gts-t Came Back Today After A 4 Week Stay

[R33RWKW]

Hi mate, My clutch set-up is very good. I never had a std clutch in my car so I can't really compare that much. The last clutch I had was something aftermarket but never found out what model.

The OS Giken Twin Plate & flywheel is very strong and should handle 300rwkw easily on the street. I won't be racing my car alot, so I don't need to worry..

The only thing that I have noticed is that the clutch grabs hard, and takes a bit getting use to. I stalled my car 3 times on the way home from Lilydale to Woori Yallock, when living there & I have used varying manual transmissions all my life. It only took about a week though before it seems like any other clutch.

Overall, I think that if you want a good reliable twin plate clutch, the OS Giken is a good choice, but it is worth checking out some others (in cars) if possible, to see the differences.

I hope this helps, as I am new to the Skyline Rebuilds my self.

Cheers

Chris.

when i drove my car and jumped in a mates R33 with a stock flywheel i could definately could feel the difference in response from one motor to the next

thanks Chris..

Ash, how much lighter is your flywheel, and any disadvantages you have with it?

[Cubes]

I will definitely be going a lightened flywheel when this stocker chews out.

I found the nicest benifit of the lightened flywheel is how much easier it is to slap the next gear at high rpm. The stock weight flywheel that holds rev's up, I find I 'occasionally' miss the gear.

no idea, but it isnt stock, cant say i think of it as a disadvantage @ all.

i'll find out... this weekend if its got any markings on it when we change things over to my 26

and yeah, the OS twin is nice and grabby hey Chris

I'll have to check ur car out soon

No worries Ash, I havn't got that much to do to complete the car - Whiteline complete kit (from Sydneykid's group buy) a full respray (not including engine bay)

& I couldn't help myself the other day when I bought a GTR bootlid & adj. rear wing 400R Bar & grill (one peice), side skirts & a Trial rear bar (I couldn't find the 400R rear bar with spats)

So Ben took only 4 weeks to do the full rebuild?? Preety good considering there are alot of other places that would have taken also longer.

Did you supply him with all the parts for the rebuild?

[R31Nismoid]

mine was 6 weeks in total.

but i had some other stuff done too.

no mucking around

[R33RWKW]

No, Ben didn't rebuild my engine. He was too busy at the time I needed it done. I was a little uneasy getting it done somewhere else, but it all turned out Great. Ben was very happy with the engine build, he looked at my spec sheet and had a good listen and the tuning went well to. I got CaveHill Engines in Lilydale, they have built alot of Race engines and RB engines in the past. - Highly recommended

It took about 5 weeks to do (including OS Giken Twin plate clutch and flywheel), I supplied a few parts (GTR RODS, BOLTS, Clutch & flywheel, etc..)

Ben at RacePace did my Turbo/Manifold?Wastegate/PowerFC setup & I got the result I was after.

Cheers

Chris
