Time to buy a new clutch for my build as i need to get it balanced with my crank. Aiming for mid to low 500's at the wheels.

Opting for the OS TS2CD, item was originally in the vehicle and felt like OEM item (only had 350hp though). Can only find 1 site with its rating and it says up to 600hp. Have also been recommended the excedy hyper multi (twin plate), or the excedy hyper compe-d.

Im after a clutch feel that wont make my car a bastard of a thing to drive. The OS giken clutch that was originally in the vehicle felt like the OEM item and is why im opting for it this time too.

Your opinions pleas?

Yeah they are good. Being a "c" means it has the larger diameter plates so its power rating will be higher than the b type os twins. Os make great clutches. I've personally owned probably 5 or 6 in various cars all twins or triples and whilst they can be noisy and sometimes a bit grabby they are super reliable and in my experience their power ratings are fairly conservative. So if you'll have 500hp(or did you mean kw?) at the wheels then a 600ps rated os giken should be fine. Personally though if it were my car with a genuine 500hp atw and it was going to be track driven I'd consider a triple as with more surface area they deal with the power and heat really well and hardly wear at all if driven properly. But if you already have the twin and it's in good shape just use that.

Cheers for that Mr Baron.

Ended up ordering a TS2CD the other night off RHD for a pretty cheap price. Had to order another one as this one was KECK. Needed to get balanced with the crank so i kinda needed ASAP. Car will probly not see many (if any) track days. Was really happy with the way it performed before my engine detonated, just wasnt too sure if it could handle my new aimed power figures.

i'm sure you'll be happy mate. they're a good thing. should have just bought the rebuild kit though providing flywheel and cover were ok? comes with new plates, new sandwhich plate and new top plate/pressure plate and bolts. you just retain the original diaphragm, carrier and flywheel. cost around $1000-$1500 depending on model.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
