Hey all. I'm in the process of my RB20 swap and I'm considering a new clutch. The clutch on the transmission I have looks pretty good but an upgrade would save many hassles down the road. Anyway, I ended up with a RB20DE transmission and was wondering if the NA 300zx clutch will still work. I don't want to pay that much money to have it wasted you know? Also, are there any other factors to consider when using this transmission? Thanks a lot.

i just changed my rb20det clutch this weekend. who ever said the rb20det use the 300zx na cluthc is totally wrong. the rb20det uses 225mm clutch and the 300zx na uses 240mm clutch. you will need to get the ka24de clutch kit. now i need to return the damn 300zx na clutch kit.

i urged you to change the clutch before installing the engine into the car. it's a b-tch to install the clutch when the motor is already in the car.

you confirm the the size here, http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/NH03SBMC

Who are you talking to? I hope you aren't confusing me with someone else. Anyway, I'm not even talking about an RB20DET transmission. I have an RB20DE.

Do you have a RB20DE transmission? B/C That is what I'm using. I know that the NA 300zx Clutch will work for an RB20DET. I want to be clear though that I DO NOT have an RB20DET transmission.
