My search for a clutch....

[USDM_OneVia]

.... so far is fruitless. But I have been reading that you really don't need to upgrade the pressure plate until about 270hp, I don't plan on going near that number. If I can put 200-225 to the wheels, I will be happy.

So, I guess I can inspect, measure, spec out my stock pressure plate and just upgrade the disk from a KA24DE to something a bit more sturdy? Norris Design's sell's the whole clutch kit, but will be hella expensive with import taxes and also overseas shipping, plus I don't have the time to wait four months for a clutch from Japan.

Anyone running the stock pressure plate with an upgraded disk?

ACT and Centerforce both make a CA18 clutch kit, centerforce dual friction would be good if your wanting to do some auto-x or any other sort of racing, really...

86 nissan stanza with the ca20. clutch is a perfect fit. i work at an auto parts store and tried it myself.

I was, but then again I only drove it around the block...once...on 3 cylinders...with metal chunks in my engine and a seized turbo...

so don't take my word for it...I used a stock CA pressure plate and an upgraded KA disk...seemed to work fine for all of 5 minutes.

Can I get a part number to cross reference with?

Also, I checked on the ACT website... no application listing for a RWD CA18DET, but they do have them for an SR20DET. Guess I am going to have to make a few phone calls.

you don't need a RWD CA to make it fit, the stanza is FWD, so is the Pulsar,

[ca18datsun510]

the pulsar and stanza are front wheel drive, but the pulsar does not use the same clutch. the stanza for some unknown reason does. i havent been able to finda performance clutch for an 86 stanza unfortunately.

don't get the centerforce dual friction. I have it and its pretty crappy, doesn't grab nearly as hard as I was lead to believe. Oh well, live an learn. If you have a little extra money to spend I would go with a SR flywheel and clutch since they are much more readily available and there are many more options stateside to choose from.

doogz has had a problemn fitting the SR stuff on his motor

u guys think the 3 puck clutch I found in my motor will be really bad for daily driving?

[slw240sx]

maybe i have a 4puck and its rather a PIA but i like it and if i had one even stiffer i would still like it ! just dont let people get up too close to you on a big hill and dont get to close up to peoples rears ! they like to be jumpy and harder to control

[Oneor1]

will do! Thanks for the input man
