clutch kits on ebay????

[S13 240SX]

alright I need an new clutch, transmission is almost out, its time to uprade a little, so does anybody know how good the clutch kits are on ebay, i'm looking at XTD Stage2's and F1 Stage2 kits, has anybody herd of them and know how grreat they are? anybody ever try these kits before, how did you like them if you have tried them? thank you

[DjPantsSpecR]

yes, a gang of folks, many many mixed reviews about XTD

now search, because if you simply type XTD in the search box you'll find a wealth of info

i bought a stage 3 and just put it on my flywheel last friday, i'll give my opinion in about a month when its broken in

search!

[S13 240SX]

alright i will search, but are you saying XTD sucks? what do u mean in a month it got broken in??? and do you know anything about the F1's???

[S13 240SX]

okay i searched xtd, and from what i read they SUCK!!!!! but a few people said they were good deals and with no problems, but I'm gonna have to go with the more people i read that said they suck and blow, so i guess i'm just gonna say screw it the xtd and search up on F1's deal, and if those sucks too then i'll just buy a brand new stock kit from auto-zone called the ****ing ****ty ZOOM kits which zoom ****ing sucks for stock. LOL i guess whatever will just get me back on the rode. lol

I'm running an XTD "stage 2" clutch right now and it seems fine. I too am waiting for the 500 mile break-in period to be over. It seems to engage fairly nice in everyday driving though.

[DjPantsSpecR]

yeah thats why i bought the XTD, plus i decided it wont be my daily driver

some people are very happy with their XTD and others have already spent it

i hear about 15000 miles is the max youll get out of it, but for 148 dollars for the entire kit you cant expect much more.

i need to break it in, it'll probably take me a month to put 500-1000 miles on it. i got he flywheel resurfaced just so i can see exactly what the max lifespan of this clutch is

if you want to get back on the road, get OEM, if you want what appears to be a pile of **** buy XTD, if you want reliability get something decent like ACT or EXEDY

XTD uses exedy pressure plates, however it looks to me that its the regular exedy pressure plate and XTD has spraypainted it red, thus making it "high performance"

[S13 240SX]

well instead of a stage 2 i seen the xtd stage 3 for like just 10 bucks more so i dont know.. I"m gonna sleep on it and think about the stage 3 xtd.

[Chezedik]

I know you need to save a few bucks, but if I were you I would get ACT or stock 240Z, depending of course on if you intend to run this beyi-itch with a turbo.

[S13 240SX]

hrmmmm how can i save a few bucks if the ACT clutch kits are like a lot more money than the xtd kits' the ACT kit's are like 300-450 dollars??

[DjPantsSpecR]

because in about 6 months or 15000 miles, youll need another one. thats gonna be another 162.00 total

so if you spent 350 you'd have way more than two years of clutch, and you wouldnt have to pull either the motor or transmission again. thats why the money is saved

i pull my motors all the time i dont even worry about that, and i certainly cant afford more than 150 bucks for a whole set so i chose XTD. i know its going to fail, i just want to see how long that will take, my other 240 is an auto so she'll be fine in the time being.

stage three will only hold so much for so long. i picked it because i wanted a ridiculous clutch that i would eventually hate in stop and go rush hour. from what i hear the XTD is tame. i believe it because as i previously stated, it looked like the pressure plate is a spray painted exedy OEM replacememt. and people say its very streetable, that not what i wanted right now.

im serious, the only reason why i bought it is because i am so broke i cant afford even performance upgrades these days. i have a very understanding girlfriend too, as i can barely maintain affording her.... im not too sure she doenst afford me....

the bucks saved are in the long run, how much do you love your 240? i love her enough to know she'll blow something up in the next few months....

listen to chezedik. this is literally a replacememnt 240z clutch. go to aimcoclutch.com, the retailer of XTD and try to find a 240 clutch, they only come in Zs, because the z clutch is literally an upgrade, so if reliability is an issue buy a 240z oem replacement

I put a xtd stage 3 in my 91 240sx with a resufaced fly wheel and it holds ok. They are kinda junk clutches and my splines would not lign up on the first clutch they sent me so back it went. Just make shure you break it in good. Its a fun cluch with a welded diff. I beat on that clutch hella and it is still in on piece. They are cheap you cant go wrong. I just put it in there because I didnt want to spend too mutch on redoing the car beacause it will be sold in spring when I am done with the silvia K's truck convershion.

[Chezedik]

Actually, I was referring to you saving money by using the 240Z clutch. It would be good with low boost, but if you want any decent amount of power, you will want a better clutch. Although, I think specpants is right.

[elgarvo616]

u can put a 240zx clutch on a ka? do you have to do any mods to it to make it fit?

[S13 240SX]

okay i'm gonna go with either xtd stage 3 6 puck clutch kit, or the F1 stage 3 6 puck kit.. I just need to know something before I order tonight...

which is better, stronger, and safer???

xtd's 6 puck disc made out of copper cermaic orF1's 6 puck disc that is made out of carbon metallic... which one is stronger, safer, and more durable??/ thank guys.

[Chezedik]

No, they are both 225mm clutch discs, the bolt pattern is the same, and the spline count is the same. So in effect it is identical, except for the fact that the springs in the diaphragm are stronger. For a mildly modified car they work great. Turbo is a no-no though. Also, having ran 3 of them, you should know that you will also run many more as well! I get between 12-15K between them. I beat the **** out of them too. So you could probably get a lot more life out of them than I did.

[Chezedik]

S13: If you are going to use resistors (which as I understand, you shouldn't need to with 370s, since impedance is the same) you should use DSM 450s from a turbo talon/eclipse/laser. That will give you room to grow. Also, I have finally started overhauling and hybridizing mine. So I have the compressor for you (for 50 bones). For 150, I plus expenses I will do it for you. Also, do you know the flow on the DSM Bov? Since my flow will be substantially more than yours, I would like to know if I can use it w/o surging.

EDIT: the DSM has to be manual trans. otherwise the injectors are only 390s (but only in the first gen). This is because they used a larger turbo on the manual than on the auto.

[S13 240SX]

okay thans, i'll keep it in my mind, the list now is just something I'm looking into and such, as of now its not gonna be my final list because I can been making changes all the time. hehehe.

but by the way, can you tell me real fast which is more stronger, safer, and durable.

xtd's 6 puck with copper ceramic or f1's 6 puck with carbon metallic

which material is stronger and better?

[pancho y onions]

i ordered mine from xtd on e bay. I think theymodify it from a 240z. I think.

[S13 240SX]

okay but pancho y onions thats not what i'm asking...

[pancho y onions]

im sorry

[Chezedik]

I will keep it unless I sell it on ebay, but you need to let me know if you want it to make a T28, or just get rid of it. I need the money for the rest of my project.

[S13 240SX]

Chezedik, IM me on AIm, Drift Legacy 240 is my s/n.

[Chezedik]

I need to get aim, but my batt is about to die. I will download, smoke a smokey. Then I will IM. DIG?

[S13 240SX]

hahaha smoke a smokey.. I dig ya, i just had a smoke too not long ago, getting ready for sleep. so if ya get on aim, just leave me a message when my away message is put up.

[Chezedik]

I am... about to get... oh, it feels so good... AIM!

[Chezedik]

S13, you show unavailable. I assume that being on the East, you may be asleep. But if maybe I do not know how to work AIM (which I don't), try me at NRBrummel.

[S13 240SX]

heh nah i was online.. i just like to hide myself online so I don't get too many IMs. LOL i'm online now.. my s/n is Drift Legacy 240

[drftsx]

will the 240z clutch fit my kae motor also will it be able to handle about 5-7 psi boost?

[S13 240SX]

yes drftsx!!!!! Chezedik, he said it did about a few posts up at least once or twice!Scroll up some and your see.

[Chezedik]

See, the thing to know about boost, is that it is relative. Clutches are measured in terms of torque. So that is to say, a t25 at 7psi, might only make 180ft/lbs. While a T-67 might make 320ft/lbs. So thinking in terms of boost is fatally flawed.
