OS Giken Nissan SILVIA / 180SX CA18DET Super Single Steel Dampened Single Plate Clutch

This is the OS Giken Super Single Steel Dampened Clutch Kit, specifically designed for the Nissan SILVIA and 180SX models equipped with the CA18DET engine. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch for more demanding driving or track use, this kit offers a significant step up from the stock setup. It's built to handle increased power and torque while providing a more direct feel.

OS Giken is well-known for its performance drivetrain components, and this Super Single clutch is a prime example. It features a single plate design, which helps keep rotational mass lower than a multi-plate setup, contributing to quicker engine response. The steel dampened plate is crucial for absorbing drivetrain shock and vibration, making it more streetable than a solid unsprung hub clutch. This dampening helps protect your transmission and differential from harsh impacts, especially during aggressive shifts or when launching the vehicle. The kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a release bearing, providing the core components needed for the upgrade.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's important to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper mating surface for the new clutch components. OS Giken clutches are often chosen by enthusiasts who want a well-built, reliable clutch that can withstand spirited driving. While it's a single-plate design, the robust construction and dampening features make it a solid option for those pushing their CA18DET-powered Nissan.
