Gtr Twin Plate Clutches

[SIR-032]

I run a Competition Steel Hatted Os Giken Twin Plate in my R32 GTR TS2CD

Heavier on the pedal than most about a 7 out of 10

Plate rattle is quiet in comparison 3 out of 10

Clutch Grab is a positive and awesome 10 out of 10

pedal feel is excellent and driveable in traffic 6 out of 10

replacement plates (rebuild kits) 5 out of 10 (cost bit over half of new clutch)

Durability of Clutch 10 out of 10 (this clutch has seen, im sure over 1000 launches)

Tell us a bit about yours so others can determine what they would like to buy in the future

My hope is to work out whether to rebuild my clutch or go new

Thanks everyone in Advance

Pffft why? There's two types of people that use twin plates, those who need them because their making big power (400kw+) and those that don't like their gearbox's Well thats what I seem to see over and over again anyway

Very easy to drive, isnt noisy has never slipped. Wouldnt even bother looking at any other clutch... Im too happy with this one!

[boostED82]

I've just ordered myself one of these, but the 640ps model... can't wait!

im using a NPC billet twin plate.... very light clutch pedal, quiet rattle and easy pickup 10/10 in my opinion!

I have an exedy twin plate..very good bite & pedal feel,not noisy at all.

[Mr GTR-32]

I have the OS TS2CD twin plate an absolutely love it, easy to drive good in traffic not to heavy that is, good bite and enough play so that you dont feel like you have a brass button in or out oh my god i hated those.

Great for launches for those that know how to do it properly without leaving your driveline on the floor behind you and believe me some drivers are brutal. I will definately keep this or replace unless i chase more power and its out of its limit.

Os Giken make quality parts and i like to know that i have good parts in my car you pay for what you get.

[fletch rb30]

TS2CD, bought it as it was cheaper second hand than anything else i could have got for 30det, awd.

a little bit of slip, enough to drive it reasonably in traffic. yet enough bite to side step it with a few revs on.

pretty noisy tho, like a couple of dinner plates in the tumble drier. if you know what the noise is its not a worry tho.

Really dont get your Reply!

What do you have in your GTR?

What Power output?

and Pffft WHy? Where should i Start why!

any way tell us what you run so all can make their own mind up

[Omurru]

The pfft why was in regards to your 'twin plates being mandatory for gtr's' comment. I don't understand why people put crazy clutches in cars that don't require them, it's cheaper to smash a clutch than it is a gearbox, the clutch should be able to hold maybe 10% more power than what the car is making otherwise it's just overkill, thats my opinion anyway.

My car makes about 300kw and i'm using a stock clutch with no issues, car is used mostly for weekend outings and track......

Seen the power rating for the 2009 model? Finally its getting closer to what the HKS GTRS guys need

This is a bit of a funny thread.

Sure singles do the job, but there's just something about the way twins work in GTR's that makes you think they should come standard.

Launching time after time, hard changes, positive feeling on changes etc - SO good!

I regret selling my nismo twin, have an os giken triple plate currently, as soon as nismo increase the c spec twin to handle 800hp ill be back with one of them.

Cant compare os giken to nismo, sure they both feel good by themselves, if you dont believe me, do a test back to back. Nismo will win.

With that said there's also some quick GTR's on tricked up singles.

End of the day, its personal preference, and out of all the GTR owners i know, only 3 have single's.

I'm probably still on the stock single! Are you suggesting that I change to twin? Hearing so much about launching makes me want to do it but after starting at around 4000 or 5000rpm once and getting the burnt smell after kinda put me off from doing it ever again until I'm sure it's safe to do it.

im using the same...NPC billet is the mother of all clutches...properly set-up to each cars requirements is the way to go when buying a clutch. Im not a fan of out of the box, one size fits all clutches. Even a properly set-up custom single plate will out perform most of the multi plate off the shelf offerings.

Dont bother launching on the stock clutch

Hi Guys, im new to this forum,

Ive just bought a GTR last week with supposibly 330 RWKW and a Os giken twin plate.

I think it has more like 280rwkw and the clutch is screwed.

It slips really badly and is on its way out shortly.

What clutch should i get, keeping in mind i only drive the car on the weekend and maybe ill try a track day.

I obviously dont need a twin plate again, How much do you need to spend to hold say 310rwkw?

89 gtr push type

thanks

I have an ORC (ogura) Twin Plate in my GTR.

LOVE IT. Not too bad to drive, very bitey.

[heller44]

^ same, orc 709d. When new it was a right bitch to get going, unless using a generous serving of rev's and a rapid release.. now it is very nice but with a decent bite. Seems to handle everything I have thrown at it so far, and I'm not real kind. Jangles like everything is stuffed with the clutch in, makes a funky noise on cranking.. all part of the character.

[IOWNU]

^^^^

Haha forgot to mention the sound, its pretty noisy but i haven't really heard other twin plates to compare.

I like the sound, sounds 'tuff.'
