Ive got a 180 sx (thats what we call an 240 in australia)
with 390hp at the wheels and im using an OS Giken twin
plate clutch. Cost me alot but it dosent slip and ive
Drag raced and drift raced it for three years now

Spec Clutch is by far the best bang for your dollar. For a little over $300 shipped, it performs just as well , maybe even better than CLutchmasters and ACT. I have heard no complaints from it yet.

[Muzzy]

exedy anyone??

[RoNx777]

~thx

I was using a stage 1 on my KA24E before the tranny went. It's an awesome clutch. It grabs really well, yet it's still quite streetable (I would hope so for a stage 1 :)). Once I get the cash, I'm going to pick up a stage 3 for my newly aquired CA18DET.

Southland Twin Friction clutch, (organic on pressure plate side, ceramic on flywheel side). will hold 300whp all day long..
if that doesnt work, southland offers the package with a ACT extreme pressure plate. 6 puck disc is also avaliable..

only cost me $265 + tax (or shipping if out of state).
they've been in the business for over 30 yrs

thats what i use on my car, and that's what my friend had on his 370whp 240sx.

[mrmephistopheles]

from Southland, perhaps? :bash:

[TheSparo]

I've got a SPEC Stage III on my car, and after a year's worth of daily driving and racing, it looks to still have the same amount of clutch material on the pucks (yeah, I've had the tranny down to look at the clutch disc).

It's a sprung disc so the chatter is minimal, and the clutch grabs nicely. Also the pedal stiffness isn't bad at all.

Running a Spec stage I on a stock KA24DE and I'm quite happy with it. Already put it through its paces with a little AutoX, drag-racing and some good ole hard drivin' and no problems.

I'm have the ACT stage 2 and i love it...it takes a beeting from drift-O and it's never glazed over...

[johnosu1]

I also have a stage 2 act in my ka and i love it. it set me back like $330 i think. it grabs hard. it will bark em in third. well worth the money.

ive got the centerforce clutch from pdm-racing, IMO its great, grabs nicely, and still has stock pedal feel
