I got a Competition Clutch White Bunny sprung 6 puck for around $270 shipped from THMotorsports. It is a lightweight RB flywheel with a Stage 4 6 puck 350z disk and pressure plate.
It actually comes out about 1 pound heavier than a stock KA clutch and flywheel setup, but it is pretty nice.
I have been using it on a T28 KA-T setup for about a year now.

Is Competition Clutch a reputable brand?
I have to run an obscure setup for which my only aftermarket clutch options are either SPEC (full range) or a Competition Clutch sprung 6-puck disc, and I am not too keen on using SPEC.

Also, approximately how much more power can an OEM-replacement (Exedy) pressure plate manage before needing to be upgraded as well?

stay away from those ebay clutches (f1, xtd, etc.) i'd say if you dont have enough money for os giken and exedy, get a act nothing else! i have had those clutches in three of my cars they all held up great, i got a 6 puck sprung in my ca vert right now perfect for drifting and dd.

If Im running my Ka24de with no major mods, what would be the best bet for a clutch? I had an exedy in and it's slipping really bad lately, not grabbing until about 2500.

So I just installed my act 6 puck sprung kit with new OEM throw out bearing, and I have been reading that to break it in I slip it out a couple of times at high rpm with time to cool down in between and then dump the clutch a few times to bed it. Is that the correct way since its not an organic full face.

You will be fine with any OE replacement clutches if you are not planning to get more power.

Exedy, ACT, etc "Stage 1" clutches are OE replacement nothing special.

OS Giken Hyper Single is my favorite and current clutch. It has 4000 miles making 330 WHP 302 TQ and it never slips. It is easy to drive once you get used to it but it is a little loud when you push the pedal in.

Ive had:

Spec stage 3: Had two with problems
Exedy Stage 1: Great for stock KA
Exedy stage 2 with flywheel: Good feel, not too grabby
Competition Stage 5: On/Off switch

If you are n/a I would say just get another oe replacement from exedy they are only 100 shipped if not less
And a n/a ka will deff not make more than 200

I had a Stage 3 Clutch Specialties (they are dead IIRC) on my KA-T and man it was HARD as hell to push in! It made a clacking sound when disengaging slowly, and it made the car hop if released too fast! And it was my DD so i dumped it and got a White bunny setup with Exedy chromoly flywheel for the skyline, and an Exedy State 1 organic clutch for 280z turbo! The flywheel is lighter than the regular D21 flywheels that are usually used, so my setup was only like 3-5 pounds heavier than the OEM one!

I had a Spec Stage 3 6-puck no problems with it but it was aggressive. I would say more track than DD even though I did drive it on the street regularly.

Right now I have a Competition Stage 5 on my DD no problems. This clutch has a smoother engagement than my Stage 3 Spec.

Oh yeah I had an F1 clutch at one one point it held but when I took it out after maybe 300 miles (since i was building my motor) bits of the pads were falling apart.

i recommend ACT. you cant go wrong with them, they hold up great and priced very reasonably. I had them on sr/ka/LS. on LS it really shines too. Had SPEC as well.... decent clutch BUT it wears fairly quick. hit or miss imho for many.

for SR/track I love the EXEDY 3 puck. insane engagement, fine for daily, very reliable and fun. There is a reason EXEDY is OEM for many makes...

For KA-T setups I love the Competition Clutch White Bunny setup.

It utilizes a much larger disc than the factory KA so in general it will hold much more than a comparable factory style KA clutch. Also aside from the standard 6 puck and full face disc you can get upgraded discs to hold as much as 600+rwhp.

We like them so much we keep a good amount on the shelf here, and we run them in a few of our employee cars.

For the money I think its foolish to get anything else for the KA unless you are making HUGE power.

Also, I run a Spec 3+ in my SR, have put about 40k on it and granted its rated for 500+ ft lbs, and my SR only makes about 300, when I pulled the trans off to put my 350z box in the clutch still had PLENTY of meat left and looked great, no hot spots or anything, so I am going to toss that back in. BUT for the KA the Spec clutches do not hold quite as much as they are stock style and smaller diameter when compared to white bunny style units.

ORC is my favorite. It made some sweet ninja sword noises jingling around.

it was too gully for my car though and was probably the reason why i had to sell it.

broke my clutch line and left me stranded in my driveway

then later down the line, i broke my clutch fork. Never was able to diagnose the problem and parted out my car.

I had a Competition stage 4 on my 350whp sr20det and it fused itself to the Competition light weight chromoly flywheel during a launch. After that I went to the Competition stage 2 organic disc and I been driving it hard with no issues.

Looking for the best options for my stock DD KA. This is the list:

OE style "White Bunny" Competition Clutch kit with brand new OEM release fork, release bearing, bearing sleeve, pilot bearing and Circuit Sports clutch pivot.

The "release bearing" is another name for the throwout bearing, right? -______-

i have been rocking a spec stage 3/fidanza flywheel for about 10,000miles(sr20 with t28 @ 12psi) . drag raced at track with slicks quite a few times, normal beating while daily driving, plenty of stop and go in traffic, it has held up to the last two drift events I drove. I have had really good luck with mine. I would purchase again with no hesitation.

I had a spec 3 and spec flywheel. Had roughly 7500 miles on it, grabbed awesome, never slipped; even at 400hp.
When my motor took a poop I pulled it, when I got to the clutch had alot of hot spots(clutch kicking??) got to the disc and every rivet was wallowed out. I've heard of plenty of the same issue and what not.

I now have a exedy twin disc, but not in the car yet (undergoing 2j swap.)

More just giving my review on the spec D setup.
