Datsun Dreaming
Dont get that clutch, its an overpriced pos. Go baller, and get the carbon tilton. Imagine being able to slip the clutch as much as you want, and not worrying about toasting it :o
edit: actually looks like tilton may not make a clutch for your application.

So my clutch is kinda toast. I am going to save up for like 2 weeks and just get the most baller clutch I can, Exedy Hyper Single. Shit is like 1200 bucks but honestly it seems worth it. I also will be getting some newish axles to go in same time I do clutch, also my car is supposed to have a diff(according to the person who sold it to me) but in fact it does not have a diff so one of those will be going in same time too. I might just go cheap on the diff since the clutch is going to murder my bank account, im thinking J30 but I would love to have a 2 way. So if anyone knows where I can get that clutch cheaper than 1200 let me know.
I love it. Pedal feels stock, but the engagement is sooo crisp.
I will have to do some research on that one. Mattback was telling me all about the exedy single and how it works really well together, how all the parts are made for each other making less stress on the bearings and everything in the block. Makes sense something as a package built for balance would be better for bearings and really everything.

From what I have read, the best single plate. non-carbon clutch is the Nismo Super Coppermix Hi-Power spec. Supposed to hold approx 420ps. RHDJapan and Nengun Racing can get that one.
Good luck on your choice. I did alot of research, too, and I ended up getting the Blitz for my SR. I'm probably going with the Exedy hyper single in my RB25 though.
IIRC, exedy makes alot of the single plate clutches for other manufacturers. The blitz model works exactly the same way as the exedy. The only real difference is in the pressure plate design and the disk itself. I have some pictures I can post later tonight it you want.

I found an exedy hyper single for 988 shipped on ebay and the seller doesn't look too bad. I might just do that one and get it overnighted. I will be ordering one this weekend so hopefully next week or two I will be able to source axles and a j30 diff. Then one full day of grease and s13 dirt in my eyes I will have the beast back on the road. I use the opinions of you guys and mostly drifters because I know they beat the living shit out of their cars, with them blowing almost 40 spec clutches in a season and having the same exedy hyper single for more than one season I would so much rather go with exedy. My roommate had a spec stg 3 in his car and never had one problem, he had well over 400 to the ground daily driven.
I so hear that. Keep me updated n how you like your exedy. I'm interested in getting some real world info so I can guess how it'll be on my RB.

Think about it for a minute, how would a clutch affect engine bearings? 2 ways, the clutch is out of balance (bad), and the pressure plate pushes against the thrust bearing(s) when you push the clutch in. Heavier pressure plates = more work for the thrust bearing. It has no more, and no less wear and tear on engine bearings, than similar strength pressure plates.
So a better balanced clutch set with flywheel wouldn't be better than piecing together a different brand clutch and flywheel? I am just saying something that is built to be used together is better than two different brands of clutch and flywheel being used that doesn't have the balance of an exedy hyper single or blitz active single. From what I read and hear from people who are experienced something that is built for balance and durability is better than using a act clutch with some other brand flywheel.
