hi guys, my dad recently got his hands on an OS Giken Flywheel, and twin plate 5 puck solid center clutch that came out of a c34. it needs new clutch plates, but seeing as though he rebuilds clutches they are worth next to nothing, and the clutch/flywheel/rebuild will cost me nothing as he wil do it... should i change up from a stock clutch.i know the gear changes will be more harsh, and might be a bit of a rougher ride, but im not using the stag as my daily anymore, so its not a big issue.

opinions? anyone else got a solid 5 puck twin plate that can comment on driveability?

cheers.

Depends what your going to use the clutch and car for? I would say no unless it's a hardcore car. There was a thread recently where someone purchased a car with one of these and swapped it out for a less harsh setup.... Would be a tough bit of gear but all depends on its use

thats what i was thinking, i just sold my toy car(r33) to scale down in power, and im only doing very mild mods to the stagea... aiming around the 260rwkw mark. i was personally thinking about putting in an NPC organic single, which was suggested by someone else, but seeing as though this clutch was sitting there in my old mans shop it was worth contemplating. im not to sure about the clutch itself or if its possible but i could have some custom sprung center plates made up, my old man has done me custom clutches in the past, i guess id have to talk to him, clutches really arent my thing lol, just like performance jap engines arent his haha, he is a holden man through and through.

I think your better off doing both, fixing the current twin plate and selling it to someone that will use and abuse and just get yourself the NPC and maintain the drivability and enjoy your car..... Personal opinion only :)

Mr NPC coming in again.

mat is right on the money. sell it and get a more driveable clutch

I will start taking your commission as i am all over this!

A twin-plate has its advantages (like a lighter pedal feel compared to a single of similar power handling capabilities), but if you want a twin-plate, go for a full-face one. I just recently replaced an Exedy single plate (was supposed to be a heavy duty) with a Nismo Super Coppermix twin, and the Nismo is so much nicer to drive with!

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
