f1 racing 6puck holds 383hp

Hey guys i just installed the 6 puck F1 Racing clutch i got off ebay for sr20det. It cost $195 and included Everything needed. Here are som pics, i took... i was in such a hurry i didnt even take a picture of the clutch itself lol.. but i got the job done in 6 hours.

Look to the bottom for my reveiw.

apexi gt spec exhaust off

driveshaft removed..

resurfaced flywheel installed

old flywheel... the clutch disc was potting soil.

clutch on ebay

Well i broke in the clutch with about 400miles in 2 days and noticed this:

-The pedal is not heavy at all, it feels exactly like a spec.\
-Its a sprung clutch
-There is very little room to ease the clutch in, it grabs very hard (YES!!

)
-Very street friendly, its organic and is very comparable to spec stage 3

-I have a weird noise thats associated with most 6 puck clutches coming from my drivetrain when i decellerate in 4th. Not sure what it is but i did a search and many people have this problem with 6pucks.

Now we'll see how long it lasts, and if you're wondering i have stock t25 on 13psi redtop SR

this was a great deal, get them while they're cheap! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7980604691

i am very happy with this clutch... i'll admit its not for everyone... pretty hardcore, holds 400hp and big bang for the buck.

kay_arsen · 06-17-2005, 07:05 AM

nice got the same clutch what is the noise like?

sepulchral · 06-17-2005, 07:18 AM

waa waa waa waa in decellerating in 4th gear .... dunno what it is

SlowCoupe · 06-17-2005, 11:04 AM

maybe your drive shaft carrier bearing...i replaced my clutch and i get that sound/vibration only in decel above 2k rpm...i'm thinking its that but i haven't tried to replace it yet

sepulchral · 06-17-2005, 11:14 AM

what is the driveshaft carrier bearing?

aznpoopy · 06-17-2005, 02:13 PM

not sure but i think its that thing in the middle of the 2 piece driveshaft.

someone clue me in if im wrong.

Pacman · 06-17-2005, 03:06 PM

the bearing is the thing in the middle. Did you make the end of the driveshaft where it bolts to the diff? If its not in the same spot, I believe it can cause vibrations/noise.

Al_S14 · 06-17-2005, 06:14 PM

looks like i am ont the only one with noise issue ever since i put exedy clutchin. have been getting same noise in 4th at low rpm.

anyway i am glad you are satisfied with that clutch because i just bought same Gripforce F1 clutch kit but Stage 1 and was little skeptical about its quality but now feel much better

sepulchral · 07-31-2005, 06:31 PM

Sorry to bump an old thread, but after a month or so the cheapss fuckshit TOB this company gives you craps out... DO NOT USE THE TOB, other than that the clutch is straight....

im running a spec stage 3 now though and i shipped this back cuz i wanted money back.

dori2 s13coupe · 07-31-2005, 07:03 PM

whut happend to the TOB?

drift into a curb · 07-31-2005, 07:23 PM

Yeah, always buy OEM for the TO bearing or at least go with a reputable company.

s0ldats · 07-31-2005, 08:10 PM

which one fits the KA?

Ian · 07-31-2005, 09:23 PM

this is why i manned up and put out the 360 for an Exedy Stage 2

so only thing htat gave out was the bearing? was everything else working fine up to last minute?

sepulchral · 08-01-2005, 05:54 AM

just the bearing sucks asss... dont use it.

Al_S14 · 08-01-2005, 02:03 PM

haha o man i was messed up the other day when i replied ... didnt even realize that i have a clutch from same company(gpripforce) . its the standard Excedy and my bearing has been making noise past few months. mostly durring shifts if i give it too much gas...

this is kinda wierd tho it said it was a KOYO bearing and i was under hte impression they made decent products

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-03-2005, 01:30 AM

Just get a TOB off stock Z32

sepulchral · 08-03-2005, 07:31 AM

or ieep your old tob, unlessit has play (ring moves around freely in bearing)

is it any better then standard factory bearing>?

Xren17 · 08-03-2005, 02:19 PM

I was under the impression that everyone uses the Koyo bearings, even in ACT and Exedy clutch. So it would mean that the F1 clutch is a good replacement and that you just happen to have a defective bearing.
