OS Giken Nissan 350Z VQ35DE:NEO Grand Touring Dampened Twin Plate Clutch

What you get with this OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch kit is a complete package designed to handle serious power and provide a more refined driving experience for your 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 or 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z. This isn't just a single clutch disc; it's a twin plate setup, meaning it uses two friction discs. This design significantly increases the surface area for engagement, which is key to handling higher torque loads without slipping. The 'Grand Touring' designation means OS Giken has focused on making this high-performance clutch feel more comfortable for daily driving than many other twin plate setups, incorporating a dampened design to reduce chatter and harshness during engagement.

The core of this clutch is its twin plate configuration, which spreads the load across two discs. This not only boosts torque capacity but also helps dissipate heat more effectively, leading to longer clutch life under demanding conditions. The dampened aspect is crucial for street use; it uses springs within the clutch assembly to absorb the initial shock of engagement, smoothing out the transition from clutch-in to clutch-out. This makes stop-and-go traffic much more manageable and reduces the drivetrain shock that can be common with aggressive aftermarket clutches. OS Giken is well-known for their precision engineering, and this clutch is built to be a solid option for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability while maintaining a good level of drivability.

When installing a twin plate clutch like this, it's important to have the right tools and a good understanding of clutch systems. Because it's a more complex setup than a single-plate clutch, proper alignment and torque sequencing are critical for smooth operation and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process as much as possible for a component of this nature. If you're planning on significant engine modifications or simply want a clutch that can reliably handle the power of your VQ35DE engine, this OS Giken dampened twin plate clutch is a well-built choice.
