OS Giken clutch for RB25DET - which one ?

Hi,

I've been looking at OS Giken twin plate clutches on the Greenline site. They list the TS2B, the TS2BD and the TS2CD

http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/b...=R33B&intake=FI

I've found a little bit of info on other sites and I think the 'D' in the part number stands for damper which presumably means the plates are sprung and I've heard that there are two versions, one rated at 500bhp and the other rated at 600bhp. I've also heard that some of them come with a steel cover and some with an aluminium cover.

Soooo.....can anyone tell me the specs of each clutch and what would be the disadvantage of the 600bhp version (if it does exist) over the 500bhp version ? i.e heavier action, less streetable etc.

I'm aiming for around 450 bhp at the flywheel so I'm thinking the 500bhp aluminium cover clutch would be the kiddie, but which one is it ? :D

Ok i Just fitted the TS2CD to my R34 and must say thats its the best mod yet.

The "B" and The "C" stand for the Disk Size with "B" = 204mm disk and "C" = 215mm size disk.THe "D" stands for damper meaning the clutch disks are sprung for less violent shake up.

I have the 600hp rated clutch and its awesome a little hard to push but makes up for it in changes and launches.I had to convert it to push type from pull not sure in the r33 tho.

My clutch has the steel cover.As far as i thought the aluminium cover on comes on the multi plate.Anyhows get this clutch you wont regret it.Hope that helps

I had an OS twin sprung type, was the best clutch I ever had, Drove like standard yet hooked up at 7000rpm in 3rd and 4th. I wouldn't use a sprung type for drift as they glass up when slipped :) just like mine did. I have a solid HKS twin now and the car is a pig to drive and rattles like nothing else.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
