OS Giken Nissan 350Z/370Z VQ35HR R Series Triple Plate w/Floating Center Hub Clutch

If you're pushing your 2007-2009 Nissan 350Z or 2010-2017 Nissan 370Z, or even the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35 and 2008-2013 Infiniti G37, beyond stock performance levels, especially with a VQ35HR engine, you know that the factory clutch can become a bottleneck. This OS Giken R Series Triple Plate Clutch Kit is built to handle serious power and deliver consistent engagement when you need it most. It's designed for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain, whether for track use, spirited driving, or high-horsepower builds.

This clutch kit features a triple-plate design, which means it has three friction surfaces working together. This setup allows for a much higher torque capacity compared to single or dual-plate clutches, making it ideal for modified engines that produce significantly more power than stock. The floating center hub design is a key element here; it helps to reduce drivetrain shock and vibration by allowing for a small amount of controlled movement between the clutch plates and the transmission input shaft. This not only contributes to a smoother engagement but also helps protect other drivetrain components from excessive stress during aggressive shifts or hard launches.

OS Giken is well-known for its robust clutch systems, and the R Series is a testament to that. The materials used are chosen for their durability and heat resistance, which is crucial for a clutch that's going to be subjected to high loads. While a triple-plate clutch will have a firmer pedal feel than a stock clutch, the design aims for manageable engagement for a performance application. Installation will require removing the transmission, and it's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the job, especially if you're not experienced with clutch replacements. This kit is a substantial upgrade for those looking to maximize their VQ35HR engine's potential.
