Suggested drift clutches - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've got basically a stock SR20 with an fmic and some stupid bolt ons. What would really be a reliable clutch for drifting purposes? I keep seeing alot of debate on what people like. What is out there now that is really the best bang for the buck?

I also assume it would be beneficial to keep the stock flywheel as some engine momentum will likely help crack those rear wheels free of grip. no?

exedy stg 1 or stg 2 if youre going to be around 300 whp

stock flywheel will help keep the revs up when doing ebrake extension

There are no "drift" clutches, only clutches rated for X hp/trq. Guesstimate what you think your power level is and wisely choose a clutch based off that guesstimate.

Buy the best clutch you can afford.

I had a close to stock SR, but im running a comp stage 4 and couldnt be happier. Its pretty heavy, but it grabs super hard and doesnt start slipping (like a stage 1 or 2 would) once it heats up.

Sr20de autozone clutch best clutch to see go boom

sorry ment sr16de works perfect will never slip

but on a serious note
stock flywheel
best pressure plate+clutch disc combo
I ran a exedy stage 4 shit was awesome

wifes car has a twin nismo super copper mix on a 350z trans by far most expensive clutch but the grab is unreal

I have had two spec stage 3 sprung clutches and would recommend them to any one
You don't need any thing like a hyper single or twin disc

I have one and wouldn't trade it for all the rice in Asia!

The initial payout & rebuild are expensive- but what you get is a clutch that will support everything from stock to borderline terrifying tq.

Contrary to popular forum-lore... The OS clutches last just as long as any OEM clutch.

In theory, the best clutches and flywheels for drifting would be ones that have good heat dissipation/resistance, so the hardest grabbing clutch that is the best for racing may not necessarily also be the best for drifting.
Thus if you plan to drift a lot and want your clutch setup to last as long as possible, it would probably be best to shy away from aluminum flywheels and organic material clutches.
