I know that this isn't totally the right fourm but I wanted to see what clutch kits are you guys useing and how you like them. I just got back from the track and mine stuck so bad it the pedal took 5-6 sec to come back up. Gotta love an 11sec 1/8mile run. I'm running drag radials and can't launch over 4000rpms with out this happening so it's time for a new kit.

BTW I'm running a 100shot and was thinking about using an ACT kit since i'm a dealer for them and have had good luck on other cars.

 

100 shot, radials and 11s in the 1/8. Something definitely sounds off.

 

No no thats not normal the clutch stuck and never let lose thats why the time. I was running without nitrous tonight 8.90s before it started sticking on the third run. I thought about trying a higher rpm and slipping the clutch a bit might get a better 60ft. Anyways off the line I just blew the tires off hit the rev limiter then when I tried to short shift my pedal went down but never came back up till after a few sec. The sad part is I still won against a civic..

 

I really liked the JWT Clutch/Flywheel combo, it held up well at over 450whp and it was great for daily driving.

 

^^^ i second that. JWT combo is amazing.

 

yeah, and JWT uses a stock nissan clutch

stock clutch is great to me, why would it be sticking? is that an issue with the clutch design or is there actually a defect possibly? I've dragged my car alot and never had the clutch pedal stick down, what causes this?

but I am getting a ACT flywheel along with the exedy clutch that comes in the car.

 

the JWT clutch is not a stock clutch, its an organic disc clutch which appears similar to stock but made of a slightly different compound and will not wear down as fast.

 

i have the JWT flywheel, but I have the Z32 TT ACT clutch...the JWT flywheel has the bolt pattern for both and the Z32 TT clutch is a little bigger than the Z33 clutch. I'm holding 430 lbs of torque just fine.

 

what year is your Z? I've been running 390-400whp and around 400 ft-lbs daily on my Z for 20k miles, with almost 60k on the car, all on the stock clutch, without a slip......mind you the 03's have a beefier clutch stock (well, the PP has stronger clamping force)

 

I have a used JWT clutch with 10,000 miles on it. I will sell it for $50 if your interested.

 

I drive a 05. I didn't have any problems when i'd launch at 3800-4000. I would preload then quickly let out not quite a side step. I wanted to try slipiping it at a higher rpm since i'm on drag radials and the sticking is the result.

 

Clutch and pressure plate?

 

wow, i am starting to think that driving styles really are leading to broken parts...


my stock clutch never slipped. 150 shot on slicks dumping it at 6000.

 

No clutch only.. you can get a pressure plate for around $125.00. I think $50 is reasonable.

 

Thats the thing it's not slipping it's sticking. I've seen it happen in the newer mustangs but it's never happened to me. I don't think that dumping it is a problem I just think if your slipping it off the line it gets heated to quick.
