OS Giken Nissan BLUEBIRD (DATSUN) L4 Super Single Steel Dampened Single Plate Clutch

If you're working on a 1968-1973 Nissan 510 and looking to upgrade its drivetrain, this OS Giken Super Single Steel Dampened Clutch Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, offering a more direct and responsive feel when you shift gears. It's a popular upgrade for Datsun enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their classic 510, whether for street use or more spirited driving.

OS Giken is well-known for making robust drivetrain components, and this clutch is no exception. The Super Single design uses a single plate, which helps keep the pedal feel manageable for daily driving while still providing the strength needed for performance applications. The steel dampened plate is key here; it helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it smoother and easier to drive in traffic compared to a solid unsprung hub. This attention to detail means you get improved engagement without sacrificing too much comfort.

When installing this clutch, remember that it's a significant upgrade over the original. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, and it's always a good idea to replace your rear main seal and pilot bearing while you're in there. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, meaning it fits right into the existing bellhousing. With the right setup, this OS Giken clutch will give your Datsun 510 a more connected feel to the road and the power you're putting down.
