Hey guys, I'm getting ready to get out on the track with my Z (HR) and having some trouble determining the best clutch for my needs. I daily my car and intend to drift once a month or so. However, I'm not a ***** when it comes to clutches, I've streeted many a 6 puck or unsprung disk.

So far, I like the reviews I've read about the JWT kit with flywheeel, however its a full face organic disc which I have never used one for drifting in previous cars. Does anyone drift on this set up without issue? I usually stick to 6 pucks. Spec stage 3 was my weapon of choice for multiple past cars.

Second option, the Z1 Kit with 6 puck disk. I like the disk, however I've read very mixed reviews. Some love it, others say its just re-branded junk like whats on eBay.

I was thinking maybe use the JWT pressure plate and flyweel, and swap in the Z1 6 puck disc. But are there any better options out there for around $800-900 with flywheel included? I don't really want to get into super expensive multidisk clutches.

I'm kinda limited in options too given I have the vq35hr. However any input is appreciated.

 

Been using a south bend 6 puck sprung clutch with 606hp drifting for a few years. Has not let me down yet.

 

Nice, the SS-DXD right? What flywheel may I ask? Also, are is it an HR or DE?

Thanks

Finding parts and info for the HR is a pain.

 

If you're at stock power levels then just use a stock clutch and if you want a lighter or new flywheen then change that when you're in there. I'm turbo with 7psi and running a stock clutch just fine

 

Good to know, thank you.

My main concern is over heating and slippage, not necessarily holding power. I am essentially stock power but some of the tracks around here require 5 - 10 clutch kicks in a run. Will the organic disc of a JWT "stockish" clutch hold up to that?

 

No one else drifts? Common, hook it uuup.

 

Ask in the drift section, you might get more response.

 

Drift?!? What do you mean drift???

 

DUH YOU FaWKING NOOB> DORIFTO <(^-^<)jDmYOOOO(>^-^)>
ONCE op Gets A NEW CLuTKCH for DEM kluTCh KIKS! HE gonna BE ALL PWNN

 

Lol, thanks for the "help" guys. If anyone else has input please chime in.

I managed to do this last week on stock VLSD and clutch. Guess I'll just rock it till I brake it.

 

Wow you did that all on a stock vlsd, added rear camber and lowering? DANG

WATCH OUT RYAN TUROK, THIS **** GONNA GETCHA

 

Lol thanks. I've been drifting since 06, stopped to get a degree, and just started again. I'm taking the rear camber out after new toe arms (I maxxed the bolts out limiting the camber) from -2.5 to probably about -1 for moar grip.

 

I haven't drifted, but I did have a jwt clutch and have had a car with a 6 puck, and for what it is worth i really liked it. It did have a relatively soft engagement though, as in if I revved it and dumped the clutch it would still slip for a quarter second or so before it completely locked. Similar to a stock clutch. It was not like a six puck where if the clutch is out there is no slip.

 

Dont mind the elitest bs from those guys, drifting is a fun sport and one they obviously havent tried.

They are just mad that the 350z is cheap enough to drift and not worry about now.

I am running a wilwood master, heavy duty slave and JWT clutch setup, we will see how it handles this weekend. I have an event on Sunday.

 

Don't mind blu, he doesn't know anything about me or what I like or dislike.
