I'm struggling to complete a 7 month project (lot of bad luck) build consisting of an S14 + R33 RB25DET series 1 swap. I have an ACT unsprung 6 puck clutch with the Xtreme pressure plate and I'm concerned about how practical this will be for street driving, autocross, and road racing. I am pretty sure I should have gotten the sprung clutch.
Before I go dumping $1,500 into an Exedy Stage 4 clutch I thought I would get some feedback on what everybody else is using and what they use their car for?
Best clutch for RB25DET?

I drive an solid disk twin plate daily. You can get used to anything.
Re: Best clutch for RB25DET? (themadscientist)
If you are worried about smooth engagement for street driving then stay away from a puck disc. But getting a spring centered disc will not help with smoother engagement. The springs in the disc are to help with torsional vibrations, which is heard as a loud hum. Torsional vibrations always occur, but spring centered discs keep these from being heard.

Re: Best clutch for RB25DET?
I have an RB26, but it's a push-type so I use RB25 clutch kits.....the pressure plate being push or pull being the only real difference....
Anyway, I had the NISMO/Exedy twin-disc at first and it was good until it wore out. Been running a SPEC stage-3 single disc for almost a year and I absolutely LOVE it. Total cost for whole kit was definitely under a grand, and I'm pretty sure it's rated to 500.

Re: Best clutch for RB25DET?
I'm searching for a new clutch and found my old thread. Too funny.
I initially went with a spec mini twin and it failed after one year of street driving. It was wayyyy too stiff. Then I switched to a spec stage 3+ and it's been great for many years with one exception... it squeals when cold going into first gear. Searches say it's a common issue. Very annoying.
Going to try something else while I have my engine out for a refresh.
