ACT Street

Can't go wrong with Exedy or TODA.

I drove an SR powered w/ a ACT Street. Perfect feel, great price, great durability, tried and proven. Exedy will cost quite a bit more. They look all pretty, but unless you've got a transparent bell housing it won't matter.

i can get the ACT and the EXEDY for about the same price.. how much hp can the act handle?

ACT, I think they're spec'ed to 362lbs of torque. Exedy at the same price level at the ACT? I've seen the Exedy street discs going for 250, but their ceramic metallic kits going for 350, on par with the ACT street kits. Dunno about their torque capacity though. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong. Personally I got the ACT with the revised disc. It's supposed to handle more than the 362 listed above.

It depends on what kind of power the car is making and what the driving demands are. If its a stock SR with a boost controller, then get the ACT street clutch, if you are pushing 350 HP, then you might look into something a little more. ACT has torque ratings for their clutches on their website and their catalog. The problem with the "puck" style ACT clutches is that they are very grabby and terrible for street use, you look like you are just learning how to drive. Jim Wolf has some options too, some require you to have your flywheel redrilled, not a big deal, so that is an option too.If you want a good clutch that will withstand whatever power you throw at it and has good streetability, then a twin-disc OS Giken is the one for you. THose things are impossible to wear out and hold even under the harshest conditions. The pedal feel is awesome and not too harsh for a street car. They do rattle a little when the you have the pedal in, but that just lets people know that you are serious. The downside is that there is about 1 or 2 places in the US that sell them and they are about $1300. They come with a new special flywheel.It all depends what you want out of the clutch. If you plan on keeping the SR stock, then an OEM nissan clutch for a Maxima will work fine.

I thought the Exedy clutches were more expensive, but they're pretty competetive. I'd still get the ACT Street for the security of knowing it's reliable, has good feel, and can hold lots of power.
