I have a silvia/rb20 combo with an r33 gtst gearbox. running an os gieken twin plate clutch that is starting to give up on me, still drives fine but cant put any power down.

So what are my options? Rebuild? Replace?

Im making 260kw but the clutch has honestly had about 3-5 years of use, not sure how the previous owner drove the car but im a bastard. no really

so its needs to be a tough clutch and the car is going to see several rounds of competition next year aswell as remain street driven. did i mention im an asshole? im really not fussed about harsh the engagment is for regular duties as in my opinion it far outweighs the price of replacing worn out part constantly.

cheers, also who would you recomend. i live in nsw but i only hear good things about NPC in qld and also ACS (adelaide clutch services) in i guess adelaide? lol, or maybe jim berry? any idea on pricing for rebuild?

Im pretty sure you can rebuild a os giken, but they havent got alot of meat on the plates.. so you would have to get it inspected to know for sure

+1 for NPC... ive had one for about 8000kms, making about 450rwhp, clutch second shitloads. worth every penny.. only im kinda wishing i had gotten the sprung hub instead of the racing solid centre.. might be a little easier to drive, tho its no harder than my old brass button

have it out atm and it still looks brand new.. no groves/gauges on the plates/flywheel like my brass buttons use to get.. overall the npc is a way more solid clutch and would have alot more rebuilds in it that an os giken, id more than likely break a os giken

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
