Hi mate, My clutch set-up is very good. I never had a std clutch in my car so I can't really compare that much. The last clutch I had was something aftermarket but never found out what model.

The OS Giken Twin Plate & flywheel is very strong and should handle 300rwkw easily on the street. I won't be racing my car alot, so I don't need to worry..

The only thing that I have noticed is that the clutch grabs hard, and takes a bit getting use to. I stalled my car 3 times on the way home from Lilydale to Woori Yallock, when living there & I have used varying manual transmissions all my life. It only took about a week though before it seems like any other clutch.

Overall, I think that if you want a good reliable twin plate clutch, the OS Giken is a good choice, but it is worth checking out some others (in cars) if possible, to see the differences.

I hope this helps, as I am new to the Skyline Rebuilds my self.

Cheers

Chris.

I will definitely be going a lightened flywheel when this stocker chews out.

I found the nicest benifit of the lightened flywheel is how much easier it is to slap the next gear at high rpm. The stock weight flywheel that holds rev's up, I find I 'occasionally' miss the gear.

no idea, but it isnt stock, cant say i think of it as a disadvantage @ all.

i'll find out... this weekend if its got any markings on it when we change things over to my 26 :)

and yeah, the OS twin is nice and grabby hey Chris ;)

I'll have to check ur car out soon :)

No worries Ash, I havn't got that much to do to complete the car - Whiteline complete kit (from Sydneykid's group buy) a full respray (not including engine bay)

& I couldn't help myself the other day when I bought a GTR bootlid & adj. rear wing 400R Bar & grill (one peice), side skirts & a Trial rear bar (I couldn't find the 400R rear bar with spats)

No, Ben didn't rebuild my engine. He was too busy at the time I needed it done. I was a little uneasy getting it done somewhere else, but it all turned out Great. Ben was very happy with the engine build, he looked at my spec sheet and had a good listen and the tuning went well to. I got CaveHill Engines in Lilydale, they have built alot of Race engines and RB engines in the past. - Highly recommended

It took about 5 weeks to do (including OS Giken Twin plate clutch and flywheel), I supplied a few parts (GTR RODS, BOLTS, Clutch & flywheel, etc..)

Ben at RacePace did my Turbo/Manifold?Wastegate/PowerFC setup & I got the result I was after.

Cheers

Chris

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
