I have that clutch!!! Its the heat McNastypants!! Mine came with a badass pressure plate too. It looked stock, but was stamped "550" instead of the "220" or so on my stock pressure plate. You will never need another clutch. Itll take a little getting used to, but its totally streetable and just generally the bomb diggity.

Yeah this pressure plate looks like a stock one, it has nissan stamped in it and also has an RS550 on it as well.

what brand clutch is this and is it the same as the one you have? iv already driven the car with this clutch and i was able to brake loose in 3rd with a stock motor on 5-7psi and it wasnt running right with tons of blow by. lol.

good deal, Freebies are always nice, a buddy of mine got a 1000 dollar nismo un-sprung hub race clutch with his Sr swap. I got a new OEM that I toasted in about 3 or so months lol.

Pressure plate to flywheel = 16-22 ft. LBsFlywheel = not sure, i think its around 75 ft lbs. but dont quote me.

I dont know where to find Kayaba ones per say, but cusco makes one exactly the same. You can get it here: http://www.perfectrun.com.au/p...h.htm

Its the metal one, not the copper single. 20400 Yen is about $184.20. You can use the stock pressure plate, but I would recommend the cusco one.
