Clutch poll, whats everyone running on the rb?

[b00stinbmx]

since i put a act 6 puck unsprung in last july and from them to nov it is pretty much shot. i don;t think i am going to go with another one of those, whats everyone running on here? and what do you do with the car? im street/drift so i need something strong thats going to last hopefully a full season not just half.

[TheRBguy]

I have an rb25 and am running an act 6 puck sprung and love it, if yours only lasted a few months you must not have done something right, did you resurface your flywheel?

[Carl H]

I've run spec gear on my car for several years now...never had an issue.
ACT clutches are very good clutches, to toast one in a few months seems rather strange to me.
Did you resurface the flywheel like mentioned above and did you break it in like you were supposed to?

[240z4u]

I put a ton of miles on my last ACT 6 puck.. I think it lasted like 4 years?

[b00stinbmx]

Of course I broke it in and resurfaced the flywheel. I did beat on it pretty hard. Its not toast yet but its close. There's a few hot spots on both pressure plate and flywheel so I don't think I can get the pressure plate resurfaced and get a new disc. And only resurfacing the flywheel and gettng a new plate doesn't seem like a great idea either. Idk I loved the performance of it just figured that it wouldn't have looked so worn

RPS MAX 6-puck sprung clutch. I love it so far. It is a little too touchy in parking lot situations, but otherwise good.

Southbend z32 NA 590ft/lb segmented disk. $350, good for getting around town, haven't put any real power to the ground yet.

[l0nestar]

RPS Max Z32 NA, HD Pressure Plate.
I don't know if RPS still makes them, but they now send you to Specialty Z who does not give specific figures.

I really wish I had picked up a SPEC Twin, oh well..

That clutch is 500 bucks. Mind filling me in on how you got it so cheaply?

[synthtk]

Nismo G-MAX (Red Cover) Twin Disk. Got it used w/ my swap with about 50% life left and its still holding strong 3 years later..

lol, it used to be cheaper. I was suprised when I saw it myself. Bought the clutch about a year ago.

i glad u did this post, i myself istill trying to figure out wich one i should go with...

[Yo-jAn]

yeah im glad too, i have a ORC racing clutch (409d single plate) and its about that time and rebuilt it, i want to go twin plate since i already have this setup but cant find solid info on going twin plate from single on the ORC clutches.
anyone??

act 6 puck sprung

[flatrate]

im using clutchmasters stage3 seems to be holding ok, super light pedal feel which i like, ive put about 6k miles on it

[ItzGenX]

I have a Spec super twin going on the RB26 soon. It may be a while til the car gets tested though. I don't know exactly how it will be, but from the reviews on SR20s, Supras, EVOs, and STIs I have read, they seem to be the ticket bang for the buck twin. I doubt I will ever go over it's 800ft/lbs rating. I prefer twins anyway due to the fact that they use more friction surface instead of applying more force. This helps alleviate the insane pedal pressure increase from strong singles with super hard spring pressure plates, and it lasts considerably longer than a single.

My old RPS Max with 6 puck disk got raped by my 500hp SR20 within a year of spirited street driving. Pedal pressure was through the roof too. It made stop and go traffic almost impossible after leg workouts at the gym. It takes 70-80lbs to push the silly clutch pedal down. It was replaced by a Carbonetic carbon twin with almost stock pressure feel, and 3 1/2 years afterwards, it still has about 80% life after ripping the motor out of the car.

Never again will I go with a beefed pressure plate clutch. If I make too much power for a normal single, I am moving up to twin or higher for now on. In the long run, I believe that multi-plate clutches pay for themselves since they last so long, and you get to drive them in comfort. The only downside is the plate rattle and clanging you'll get with most of them when they are disengaged and free spinning in parking lots and stop lights lol. People will think you got a POS car .

ACT 4 puck sprung. I just installed it last summer so no word on longevity yet but I feel it is a little too touchy for the street.

[treymeiste]

spec stage 3, 6 puck sprung disk works dosnt slip with the hx35 on 1.1 bar had it a year now and is still strong

[Sil240]

I have a custom Unorthodox Racing sprung segmented ceramic clutch, with a Marcel springs.
It also have a moved fulcrum.

Very smooth and is holding 300hp now.

[Mistaken]

I have an ORC 559 twin plate with sprung hubs. I love it, the clutch drives really nice for what it is. Ill never buy another clutch with less then 2 plates again.

OS Giken tripple a.k.a. the destroyer of 3rd gears

OS Giken tripple a.k.a. the destroyer of 3rd gears

Ohhh that takes me back to when I test drove my friend's BNR32 with OSG twin plate down an industrial road and my left foot slips off the clutch pedal going into third. Uhh... I GO BOOM!!! Bye bye 3rd gear lol.

[jetdriver]

My swap came with a fairly new ACT unsprung 6 puck. I threw a new act street disk in and it has been holding well at 12 psi on a 57 trim. The pedal force is kinda high, but engagement is smooth like stock. Has anyone tried a z33 clutch?

[HxC_Nismo]

i ran a spec stage 3+ on my 510whp setup but for my new setup i am going to be running spec mini triple disc.

[mixeds14]

well i just order me a spec stage 3 last night, will see how it goes.. my motor is stock as of now but will upgrade later on the middle of the year..

[rbs14kouki]

ORC twin plate for me ... im rebuilding it this winter

[amorasin]

I'm soon to be ordering an Exedy ceramic stage 2. Cant justify a harsh stage 3 clutch for daily driving the rb. Heard good things about it from the people who use it but at the same time havent heard of many people using it. Its a Z32 part number so maybe that's why?

[TheRBguy]

Ive heard from alot of people that the clutches are the same but then again i ordered a z32 through out bearing and it was completely different, i gave advanced the number off the bearing then and they got the right one in.

[robbie2883]

i have a competition clutch 6 puck sprung hub with stock flywheel and love it. i've owned just about every clutch out there on other cars and comps are my favorite by a mile. (other than multi discs)
