What clutch would everyone suggest for a bolt on 350z with uprev tuner but planning on boosted performance kit next winter.

I do a lot of hard driving and plan on going to the drag strip.

I was looking at southbend clutches either stage 2-3 but czp recommended a 6 puck because of the dragging.

I want something that will last somewhat and not be a pita for daily driving.


So any suggestions guys?

 

sorry, i don't help!!!

 

I've got a Carbonetics triple disc on my DD Z with bolt ons. It feels just like the stock clutch.

 

JWT full faced sprung clutch and Flywheel combo is what you will want.. many vendors sell the combo for 775 shipped.. will hold tons of power.. more power than a stock block FI car will ever make.

 

Will it hold up from abuse at the drag strip? How is it for daily driving?

 

i'd spring for an os giken super single. or go all out and do the twin plate setup. Have tons of twin turbo'ed HR z33 and Z34 cars in my shop and they ALL have it. will take the abuse but still driveable... but then again, they are not the cheapest clutch setups. You get what you pay for though

 

In all honesty at stock block FI power the South bend combo (sprung, full face) or the JWT full face would be plenty for power and drive great. Both have been used past 500hp here on the forums with occasional drag use. Drag use doesn't hurt the clutch that much unless you really slip the clutch hard and don't allow proper cool down periods. I managed a summer on stock clutch with a 400hp vortech setup and I slipped the clutch a lot so a decent aftermarket should be just fine if you aren't abusing it.

From my experience the comp clutch/clutchmasters stage 4 clutches are an on/off feeling that is very hard to drive on the street. With my vortech it did not hold up well at the track like it claimed.

My os giken twin sucked horribly for driving so if the single is anything like that I wouldn't advise it.

I highly recommend the RJM clutch pedal bracket to make the car drive way better than stock. I can take off without giving the car any gas at all on a carbonetics triple carbon clutch. That is something I was unable to do even on the stock clutch. Well worth the investment.
