Twin Plate Clutch

[Alf]

I'm about to buy a second hand twin plate clutch for the RB30DET, but before I do I want to know if replacement parts (driven plates etc..) are easy to source and what brands are easier to get hold of.

I'm looking at an OS gilken, HKS or exedy twin plater.

Has anyone had to replace parts in their twin plate before?

Twin plates are all modular so it should be a matter of finding an authorised dealer in which ever model you decide to get.

I know that os giken offer a few different versions of their rebuild kits that range from just new friction plates, to all intermediate plates, friction plates and pressure plates, and you can still get cages and flywheels separate aswell. Parts can be sourced through otomoto.

Just have a look at prices before commiting to a purchase. A full replacement kit for mine including friction and pressure plates was about a grand from memory. That was a TS2A which is the smallest twin plate offered by OS.

OS plates are around $500-$600

My OS Twin cost around $1300 ro rebuild with 2 new plates.

The rebuild kits are around the $1100 mark, but there are a few types and they vary.

greenline quoted the following DELIVERED to SA for rebuild an OS Giken TR2CD (to suit SR20)

OS Giken Overhaul Kit A $846 (71,438 Yen)

OS Giken Overhaul Kit B $1133 (95,693 Yen)

Kit A=new x2 clutch plates, middle spacer plate, pressure plate

Kit B=above plus new clutch plate cover

When i need new plates i'll probably get them from greenline. How long does it take to get to aus????

[PT]

everything from greenline that I've ordered has been sent EMS and usually ~10days (never more than 2 weeks)

note: all orders were under $1000 therefore not tax/duties etc

Thats nice and fast for overseas and the weight and stuff of the parts.
