OS Giken Nissan 300ZX Z32 TS Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch

This is the OS Giken TS Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch, specifically made for the 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX Z32. If you're pushing your Z32 hard, especially with a modified engine, the stock clutch can start to slip or wear out prematurely. This twin-plate setup is built to handle significantly more torque and power, offering a more direct connection between your engine and the drivetrain. The dampened design helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it more streetable than a non-dampened twin plate, while still providing the robust performance needed for spirited driving and track use.

OS Giken is well-known for its high-performance drivetrain components, and this clutch is a prime example. It features two friction plates, which distribute the load over a larger surface area compared to a single-plate clutch. This not only increases torque capacity but also helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of clutch fade during demanding situations. The TS Series specifically incorporates a sprung center hub on the clutch discs, which is what provides the 'dampened' characteristic. This helps to smooth out engagement and reduce drivetrain shock, making it a more comfortable option for daily driving compared to some other high-performance twin-plate clutches. The pressure plate is designed for a firm pedal feel, giving you clear feedback when you're engaging the clutch.

When installing a twin-plate clutch like this, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, or consider replacing it at the same time. OS Giken typically designs their kits to fit with the factory flywheel or their own compatible flywheels, but always check the included components list. This clutch is a serious upgrade for Z32 owners looking to maximize their car's performance potential and ensure their drivetrain can handle the power they're putting down.
