Got a quick question for you guys i have a 06 350z with a built motor and vortech running the 2.62 pulley.. i was wondering how long you think i could run with my stock clutch i just want to make it till winter time...

 

Well....how much hp/tq are you putting down? How aggressive do you drive the car? Help US help YOU, haha.

 

Well thats the thing its not all put together yet.. but im shooting for about 450whp and around 350 torque and i will only be driving it on weekends when i get it back

 

One to two visits to the dragway should be enough to make it non-functional anymore.

I say what really kills a clutch fast is launching.

 

have fun

 

well, i can tell you/. Froma stock motor 2.62 and a stock clutch... I tried one time today to launch it hard and smoked it... LOL..

It has alot of passes on it though n/a, then with the 3.12 pulley and i granny shifted and launched it like i was leaving a redlight and it held that one.

 

The launch will burn that stock clutch...did for me

 

i had A LOT of nitrous launches on the stock clutch, it help up like a champ. the early 03 clutches are the best!!


you should be alright with that stock clutch and the vortech cause it doesnt produce a lot of instant tq. the low end tq is where the clutches are usually slipping..

 

Early '03 clutch here, too!

Its held too many nitrous runs at the tarck to count. I'm in the process of installing a Turbonetics ST to go w/ the nitrous and I have no plans of changing the clutch as of right now.

I've run 11's with it... Which is kinda good, I guess!

 

My early 03' clutch has 52,000 miles (29,000 miles high 400WHP turbo miles)on it and it just started to act a little funny

 

Early 03 here, lasted for 2+ years at 370-400whp. I had no issues up until I got a good deal on a JWT combo and swapped it out.

We compared it with the clutch off an 05 and the later clutches are visibly weaker with a much smaller friction plate...
