I have an OS Giken Twin Plate push type clutch for sale.

I'm no upgrading to a triple plate now that I can increase my boost past the measly 18psi.

I don't know how much plate is left on the clutch as it is still in the car. I've only had the clutch in there since August so I can't imagine that it's worn all that much.

I'm aksing $1200.00 for it as I believe that the plates are still in excellent condition. If the plates are in worse condition than expected, I am willing to negotiate on the price.

The standard GTR uses a pull type clutch. I think you will find that most decent aftermarket clutchs (include OS, Ogura and ATS) all are push type.

The clutch will fit directly on R32 and 33 GTS-T and R32 GTR pre 94 and any other car which have been modifed to fit a push type.

There are plenty of kits which will convert the clutch setup from pull to push.

Driving a twin plate isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Of course it is harder than a stock or upgraded single plate clutch but the grip from a twin plate is more than adequate for a car with less than 350 rwkw. Slip isn't a problem if driven correctly and for those who have seen or met me, I'm not the biggest guy around :D but I didn't have a problem clutching in peak hour traffic with it.

The conversion kit doesn't come with the clutch as I need it for my triple plate but the kits are available from plenty of places. On the other hand, if you can get your hands on the front of a R32 and 33 GTS-T and R32 pre 94GTR, then no kit is required as these are already push type.

That's very interesting! I didn't know that OS, Ogura and ATS made you convert to a pull setup...

I wonder what the reasoning behind that... I know that NISMO clutches retain the stock setup, and they sell single, twin and triple plate PUSH clutches for the R33 GTR...

Oh well, live and learn... I just thought I'd bring it up in case you made a mistake when typing up the post, but you obviously haven't!

Cheers, Andrew.

OS, Ogura and ATS actually make you convert to PUSH type, not PULL in the R33 GTR....

A lot of the single plate clutches remain as a pull type in the R33 GTR but for some reason, they all think that a PUSH type setup is better.

Anyways, the clutch is still for sale :)

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
