OS Giken Nissan SILVIA S15 (NA only) Grand Touring Dampened Single Plate Clutch

OS Giken is well-known for making high-performance drivetrain components, and their Grand Touring Dampened Single Plate Clutch for the 1989-1998 Nissan 240SX is a prime example of their engineering. This clutch is designed for naturally aspirated S15 models, offering a significant upgrade over stock for drivers who demand more from their vehicle's clutch system. It aims to provide a more direct feel and improved durability for those pushing their cars harder, whether on the street or the track.

This clutch features a single plate design with a dampened center hub. The dampening helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making engagement smoother and more comfortable for daily driving compared to a solid hub design. The single plate configuration is chosen to maintain a manageable pedal feel while still handling increased power and torque. OS Giken uses robust materials in their clutch kits, focusing on longevity and consistent performance under demanding conditions. This kit is built to handle the stresses of spirited driving and track use, offering a solid connection between the engine and the drivetrain.

When installing this clutch, it's important to ensure all related drivetrain components are in good condition, including the flywheel and pilot bearing. OS Giken recommends following their specific installation instructions to ensure proper setup and break-in procedure for optimal performance and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process for mechanics familiar with clutch replacements.
