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

This is the OS Giken TS Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch, specifically designed for the 2007-2009 Nissan 350Z, 2007-2008 Infiniti G35, 2008-2013 Infiniti G37, and the 2010-2017 Nissan 370Z, all equipped with the VQ35HR engine. If you're pushing your VQ35HR hard, whether on the street or track, you know that the stock clutch can start to struggle with holding power and consistent engagement. This twin plate setup is built to handle significantly more torque and heat than a single plate clutch, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles or those that see frequent spirited driving.

What sets this clutch apart is its twin plate design, which distributes the clamping force over two friction surfaces. This not only increases the clutch's torque capacity but also helps to manage heat buildup more effectively, reducing the risk of premature wear or performance fade during demanding use. The dampened design incorporates springs into the clutch plates themselves, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with twin plate clutches. This translates to a more comfortable driving experience on the street, with smoother engagement and less chatter compared to non-dampened or solid-hub designs. OS Giken is well-known for its well-built drivetrain components, and this clutch is no exception, featuring robust materials and precise manufacturing to ensure reliable performance.

When installing a twin plate clutch like this, it's important to have the right tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as it's a more involved process than a standard clutch replacement. You'll also want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or resurfaced appropriately, as it's critical for proper clutch operation. This clutch is designed to work with the VQ35HR engine's specific flywheel bolt pattern and transmission input shaft, ensuring a direct fit for the applications listed.
