OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch

[Leewah]

I have an OS Giken Twin Plate push type clutch for sale.

I'm no upgrading to a triple plate now that I can increase my boost past the measly 18psi.

I don't know how much plate is left on the clutch as it is still in the car. I've only had the clutch in there since August so I can't imagine that it's worn all that much.

I'm aksing $1200.00 for it as I believe that the plates are still in excellent condition. If the plates are in worse condition than expected, I am willing to negotiate on the price.

Dude, R33 GTRs use PULL type clutches

[Leewah]

The standard GTR uses a pull type clutch. I think you will find that most decent aftermarket clutchs (include OS, Ogura and ATS) all are push type.

The clutch will fit directly on R32 and 33 GTS-T and R32 GTR pre 94 and any other car which have been modifed to fit a push type.

There are plenty of kits which will convert the clutch setup from pull to push.

Whats it like to drive in city traffic and does the pull to push conversion kit come with it.

Driving a twin plate isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Of course it is harder than a stock or upgraded single plate clutch but the grip from a twin plate is more than adequate for a car with less than 350 rwkw. Slip isn't a problem if driven correctly and for those who have seen or met me, I'm not the biggest guy around but I didn't have a problem clutching in peak hour traffic with it.

The conversion kit doesn't come with the clutch as I need it for my triple plate but the kits are available from plenty of places. On the other hand, if you can get your hands on the front of a R32 and 33 GTS-T and R32 pre 94GTR, then no kit is required as these are already push type.

That's very interesting! I didn't know that OS, Ogura and ATS made you convert to a pull setup...

I wonder what the reasoning behind that... I know that NISMO clutches retain the stock setup, and they sell single, twin and triple plate PUSH clutches for the R33 GTR...

Oh well, live and learn... I just thought I'd bring it up in case you made a mistake when typing up the post, but you obviously haven't!

Cheers, Andrew.

OS, Ogura and ATS actually make you convert to PUSH type, not PULL in the R33 GTR....

A lot of the single plate clutches remain as a pull type in the R33 GTR but for some reason, they all think that a PUSH type setup is better.

Anyways, the clutch is still for sale
