Man you seriously need to do some reading.

Go to some typical 240s websites (Enjuku, FRSport, etc.) and see what they sell, then research those particular options

I have a nismo twin plate clutch for sale. it is rebuildable. you will never have to buy another clutch, just replace the discs. it will hold anything you throw at it. suprisingly, this clutch is EXTREMELY streetable. It was in my old s13 when I bought it and I thought it was a 6 puck until I pulled the tranny and realised it was a twin plate.

Other than that, ORC super singles are amazing! 409D.

Nismo Coppermix is another favorite of mine.

Those are the only 3 clutches that I normally recommend.

[rebornS14]

whats your budget and build like? more details.

[MandTPhotography]

What everyone else said.


Does your car make enough power to warrant a twindisk?


I mean....a sprung 6 puck will be good enough for most stuff.

I DD a with a Comp Stage IV.

[chituntang]

"The" best clutch holds unlimited amount of power, drives like a normal manual car, and cost next to nothing - According to Carbonetic.

Sadly, no companies have created this product yet...

So, I guess you will have to wait until this product comes out...

[Slidin' Sam]

Why do American clutches come in stages? Is it some marketing BS? In Japan there are no stages. You just have different types. Super Singles are by far the most popular here, and they sound sexy too!

[90hatchie]

i have an orc super cingle 409 and LOVE it

[!Zar!]

So it seems, drifting voids ORC's warranty.
hahahha

[S14DB]

Is this a KA or a SR? Cause some of the clutches mentioned aren't available for the KA.

[Slidin' Sam]

Drifting avoids every warranty! lol Tire manufacturers would be out of business otherwise! lol ORC clutches are gangster. /thread! lol

[alesserfate]

if its an sr and if you're a maniac i'd recommend a os giken unsprung twin plate

i have one in both my cars and love it, they dont die.

[s14unimog]

^ how's that tranny holding up....

[xska]

Sr trans and ka trans can not handle twin plate clutch if you clutch kick, but if your tire is less than 225, it can last longer.....

[slideways2004]

Super Singles only...........if on a budget just do act 6 puck

lol i've blown up a pair, doesn't blow up after 1 or 2 clutch kicks in a row.. sometimes after 3 though but daily its good, even if you rip like a fucker

[s14unimog]

^ so why do you, and a lot of people, run these ridiculous over kill clutches? I have a Spec 6 puck, sprung hub, and have about 2k miles on it. My SR makes 394whp and I've never felt it slip.

My rational was to prolong the purchase of a Z32 adapter assembly and design in a less expensive point of failure

[Wtfufail]

Sorry for the late response but yeah yeah it's a ka and Ive ben lookin around and I just don't know what's best material and all. But I'm gonna spend around 5ish at most. But have seen a few stage 5 actual track race clutches. But people have warned me of parts and peices and materials.

simply because it doesn't fail in competition, the worst way to lose is to have your car fail

also by now i've figured out how to drive like i want to using that clutch to the full potential, and not blowing my tranny

the clutch is like a one time investment if you use it properly

also, the z32 trans can fail the same way with a gangster clutch, my friend has it in his car and has sheared most off the teeth off 3rd just like an sr tranny

ideally you want a straight cut hardened gear set for the z32 tranny and have that in your car, or an hks complete box, but thats money

I disagree. I view a clutch as a consumable that you have to replace after it wears out. Transmission I usually like to keep intact.

I have a clutch masters 6 puck sprung hub and it doesn't slip when you throw alot of power at it.Plus it has a light clutch pedal feel for dding.Just my 2 cents.

I had the same spec clutch (supposed to hold 500hp)
Lol at that, i held up for 1 1/2 years as soon as i upgraded turbos at about 370hp the thing went to shit!
Since then a blitz twin plate has done the job i am
In love with it.
Os giken/ogura clutches are the same! Awesome if u have the budget

To each their own, however depending on whether you want to blow up the tranny or the clutch, either way the tranny has to come out of the car.

And if you like the stock tranny (sr), sr trannys are about 100-200$, vs clutches are 300-500 at the least. Same amount of labour too.

Not saying you 'should be' blowing your tranny, but it's been quite some time since I blew a tranny now and I've managed to find a balance between being able to drive like I want to, not blow the tranny, and use a clutch that doesn't let go.

Just my side of constructive debate, not trying to bash or anything.

I have EX-06950B Exedy Stage 2 Single Plate Clutch Kit S14 SR20DET
on my 250whp S14...

it is my DD and weekend Track car and I love it..

if you plan to keep your car in low HP then I think this clutch seems good choice too.

http://www.frsport.com/Exedy-06950B-...ET_p_1206.html

However, I am planning to upgrade turbo again targeting 300~320whp.
I do not think this clutch will hold up.. LOL it supposed to holds up to 291hp
I am definitely getting super single this time.

Exactry! One of my friends has a S2000 and he told me he had "Stage 2 cams." I was like ok, that means nothing to me, what size are they? He had no clue. Then you have all these SNIP that are like; "Ya, I got a stage 3 SRT4." What the fuck does that mean!?!

/rant.

I have a ACT 6 puck and I'm pretty happy with, although the Extreme pressure plate is a bitch at times. I'm in the neighborhood of 400whp and I drag, drift, touge, etc.
