Item: OS Giken twin plate clutch, from an R33, plus lightened flywheel

Condition: Used, probably in need of a rebuild.

Price: $500 ono, no lowballs

Other Details: Had the clutch in the car for nearly 2 years, (would be 2 years in June), done approx. 19,000km, was on a new motor from a wreckers, that motor had done approx. 10,000km since rebuild and new clutch, the clutch itself is worth around $3000 retail, for $500 I will ship the clutch to your door with everything required, as well as the lightened flywheel it came with as well (unsure of brand)

The clutch is still in the car at this stage but will be coming out within the week, so I will assess how everything is. The clutch is slipping pretty bad, from what I can gather it's warped plates (the plates between the clutch discs, the metal ones) which are causing it, I had a good long chat with Jim Berry about this sorta stuff and he mentioned that OS Giken twins always fail due to warped floater plates, they are under-engineered and are too thin.

Basically, you pay $500 for this clutch, take it to Jim Berry, get it rebuilt for around $1000, and you have a strengthened, twin plate, $3000 clutch.

Open to offers but chasing around $500, I have to pay my Dad back for the new clutch in mine ASAP.

Call or text 0413475969 anytimes

Will put pics up when available.

OS Giken lightweight flywheel, significantly lighter than a factory flywheel.

Cerametallic 5 Puck clutch plates, and one of the float plates

Most of the gear together

Some of the heat damage, the blue parts are due to crystallisation at high temps, so these are the parts which will need replacing.

bump to the top, it needs to go, awesome deal! Can be rebuilt by NPC/Jim Berry for maximum power, recently discovered these are actually brass button not cerametallic, but still, a twin 5 puck brass button twin plate clutch is definitely all you'll need for those high-speed passes! A rebuild wouldn't set you back much, plenty of meat on the clutch plates, just new floater plates and it'd be awesome! comes with an OS Giken flywheel

$500 firm, plus postage. Need to offset costs of the new clutch (which became new clutch, new master and slave, then resleeved old slave, then new valve cover gaskets, and half moon seals + labour)

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.
