What is the benefit of a twin plate clutch?

A twin plate clutch uses two friction discs instead of one. This doubles the engagement surface area, allowing it to handle significantly more torque without slipping. It's ideal for high-horsepower engines like the RB26DETT.

What does 'dampened' mean for this clutch?

The 'dampened' aspect refers to features within the clutch assembly that help absorb some of the torsional shock and vibration. This can make the clutch engagement smoother and reduce stress on the drivetrain components.

What else might I need when installing this clutch?

When replacing a clutch, it's highly recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and release bearing. You should also inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Product Details

OS Giken is well-known for making some of the most robust and high-performance drivetrain components available, especially for Japanese performance cars. This STR Series dampened twin plate clutch is a prime example, built specifically for the Nissan RB26DETT engine found in iconic Skylines. If you're pushing serious power through your RB26, a clutch like this is essential for reliably transferring that power to the wheels without slipping or premature wear.

This isn't just a basic clutch; it's a twin plate setup, meaning it uses two friction discs. This design significantly increases the surface area for engagement, which is crucial for handling the high torque output of a modified RB26DETT. The dampened design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a powerful engine and a twin plate clutch, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving compared to a non-dampened version. The soft diaphragm pressure plate is engineered to offer a more comfortable pedal feel, which is a notable improvement for a clutch of this caliber. It's constructed with durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving and track use.

When you're installing a clutch like this, it's important to have all the necessary supporting components ready. This includes a new pilot bearing, release bearing, and potentially a flywheel if yours is worn or not compatible. OS Giken clutches are known for their precise fitment, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific torque specifications and procedures to ensure a proper and safe installation. This clutch is a solid option for anyone serious about their RB26DETT's drivetrain performance and reliability.
