abes Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have an OS Giken super single clutch/ flywheel combo sitting at home that I was going to use on my rb25. I sold the 25 and bought an r32 rb26, so I'm wondering if it's worth staying with it or selling it and trying to re-coupe some of the money it cost me. I figured, it could only help out to have a lightened flywheel and better clutch right? Problem is, it'll most likely be daily driven so... The motor is going to be stock for a while then gradually upgrading things here and there. What do you think? I haven't read of anyone running this set up on a 26, so please chime in.... Thanks.

Careless Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 well, some people will tell you that they find it easy to drive, others would tell you it's a pain. :-/ especially with the lightened flywheel. but it is a good clutch kit, and it looks to be in fairly good condition. are you safe with pulling the transmission off if it becomes too tought to drive? I'm going to be taking my transmission off my z31 this coming month in my garage, so i'm not yet sure if it's something I want to do again, but I can imagine any car guy will do it if need be. just run it until you have time and money to buy and install a new one. can't hurt, no?

stony Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If your going to run the motor stock it will be fine in a Z. I ran a stock pressure plate and a sr20 disc for the longest time. It held fine till i turned the boost up and even then it help good till it just wore too thing to maintain clamping pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine isn't in the car yet so it'll be easy. I'm probably going to install it and make sure everything fits properly and get it running. Eventually I'll pull it out and clean it up, maybe change the bottom end bearings. If it gets bothersome I guiess I can change it out then. STONY:It'll be stock at first withe exception of the haltech, then some upgrades like injectors and bigger turbos but not much more than that. I tried selling a while ago but had no luck, so that's why I figured that I should try to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 So are you wondering if it will hold the additional power??? I would think it should. considering you putting it in a car considerably lighter then what the car the engine came out of. my stock pressure plate and sr20 disc held for 2 years. If i could have gotten my hands on another sr disc i would have used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
