OS Giken Nissan 350Z/370Z VQ35HR TR Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch

The OS Giken TR Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch features a unique sprung center hub design, a critical element for managing the increased clamping force of a twin-plate setup. This isn't just about holding more power; it's about making that power usable and comfortable for daily driving. This clutch is built for the VQ35HR engine found in the 2007-2009 Nissan 350Z and the 2010-2017 Nissan 370Z, as well as the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35 and 2008-2013 Infiniti G37. If you're pushing significant power or simply want a more robust and responsive clutch for spirited driving, this is a serious upgrade.

OS Giken is well-known for its high-performance drivetrain components, and this twin-plate clutch is a prime example. It uses two friction discs, which distribute the load over a larger surface area. This not only allows it to handle much higher torque loads than a single-plate clutch but also helps to reduce pedal effort compared to a similarly rated single-plate clutch. The dampened design in the center hub is key here; it absorbs driveline shock and vibration, making engagement smoother and reducing stress on your transmission and differential. This makes it a popular choice for modified vehicles that see frequent track use or aggressive street driving.

When installing a twin-plate clutch like this, it's important to note that it typically requires a specialized alignment tool and careful attention to detail. The kit includes the necessary components for the clutch itself, but you'll want to inspect your flywheel for wear and consider resurfacing or replacing it if needed. OS Giken clutches are well-built and designed for longevity, but proper installation is crucial to achieving their full potential and ensuring a long service life. This clutch is designed to fit directly into the specified vehicles, simplifying the installation process for those familiar with clutch replacements.
