Spec clutch and flywheel

[s13point5]

im planning on purchasing a spec clutch and flywheel within the next couple days. anyone running a spec clutch or flywheel in their RB25? if so where did you get it and how much did you pay? are you happy with it? only reason why im want to run a spec flywheel is because in my head i should just get a spec flywheel to go with the clutch. anyone have other recommendations on flywheels?

[lucky7]

ive always been under the impression that spec clutches are garbage. ive heard of so many of them comming apart over a very short period of time. ive used ACT clutches before and have always been impressed.

i personally have an RPS 6 puck and a fidanza flywheel. you can get the fidanza and/or JGY flywheel for RB's at JGYcustoms.comor whatever the site name is, just search google for that name.

i ran spec in my dsm's all the time and never had a problem. i just got finished yesterday putting a stage 3 6 puck spec in my rb20 and so far it feels great. its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. it grabs hard and fast but its not one of those "its gonna rattle your dash off" kind.. i got mine from horsepower freaks for 334 shipped.

[s13point5]

has anyone ever ordered from LMPerformance? they are offering the Spec Stage 2+ clutch with free shipping right now.

I just bought a competition 6 puck clutch, yet to install, but my buddy likes his on his SR.

+100 for spec being garbage...i had a spec D clutch which is suppose to be the bomb diggity and it was the biggest hassle...clutch disc kept welding to the flywheel and the pressure plate...def not woth 800.00 bones....and i have heard the same about the rest of their line-up.....just EFFING junk!!

I run a spec stg 3, as for it fusing to your flywheel? sounds like someone didnt break it in properly. That is the reason half the peopls clutches fail prematurely. No one can wait the 400-500miles before thrashing. Ran mine all last summer with about 40 ish passes down the 1/4 at 5-6k drops and slips, never once did my clutch slip. Its out of the transmission right now and the wear is extremely minimal looks almost new.

i too run the spec stage 3, seems to be holding up quite well...got mine from jdsperformance.com 315$ shipped!

[s13point5]

any flywheel recommendations?

[Carl H]

ive got a kts (i think...) chrome moly flywheel on my car, seems to work well.

[lucky7]

any flywheel recommendations?

ill post again for you. click my link:http://www.jgycustoms.com/RB20DETparts.htm

they also have fidanza flywheels. thats what i got, and i bought it from them with no problems. i think most, if not all would agree with me that fidanza is a very well renound flywheel manufacturer.

does fidanza make the flywheel they have on their site that is listed for $269.00? because it just say is a JGY steel flywheel and not a fidanza flywheel. i was thinking about going with that flywheel anyways

[lucky7]

there are 2 of them they sell. JGY inhouse flywheel, and they fidanza. i got the fidanza, just because of the name brand. but ive read about other people using the JGY flywheel on here. there are a few people with it. sounds like its better than i assumed. price is definately right too. i guess you could search for it. i know i read it somewhere on here.

DXD SBC clutch > Spec.... $298Fidanza RB20/25 9.5 lb flywheel. $299





The steel backing gives this lining the ability to spin up to 12,000 rpm.Another piece to the puzzle. DXD stage TZ

TZ kits contain a modified high performance pressure plate with a heavy duty Kevlar lined disc. The metal backed Kevlar linings provide a smooth engagement and have the torque capacity to handle high horse power, high revving engines . These clutch kits maintain a stock feel at the pedal and have unmatched durability. Also included in the kit are a throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool.

Holds 480 tq.

SBC uses DK blanks aka Daikin Klutch, also known as Exedy, if you choose so, you can get yours cryogenic treated, just like mine was. Every testimonial and the people i know that've had these have yet to break them and or glaze them, they've also had minimal to no problems with slipping under the specific tq range they're designed for. After a week or two of normal driving and breaking in, they feel and drive like a stock clutch with alot more grip, making drivability still great.

I have been using a SPEC Stage 2 Kevlar Clutch disk in my RB26 for the past two years now. I have put nearly 25,000 miles on it and I have almost 50 passes down the 1/4 mile with it. With those close to 50 passes, I rev the car to 5500 RPMs and drop the clutch and go. All is going well so far. I also ran a SPEC Stage 2 on my 402 WHP Maxima when I had it and it ran perfect as well. I think most of it comes down to prep and installation, sorry if this insults anyone......

[lucky7]

like i said, ive just heard rumors about them sucking. ive never personally used one. and like i also said. ive used ACT with no issues, and i have an RPS MAX 6 puck for my 25. sprung hub for drivablity.

[s13point5]

i ordered a spec stage 2+ clutch from JDsperformance.com. 369 shipped. UPS tracking number says it will be here tuesday. now to order the flywheel. i dont see the fidanza flywheel on JGY's website. maybe they are just advertising their flywheels now? i was also thinking about just going with the JGY flywheel. i havent really heard anything bad about it.

Do you have part #'s for that stuff, also where did you buy yours?

[l0nestar]

uber95,

http://www.dxdracingclutches.com/home.html

Imports: Nissan: 300-z: HD-Street Series: third row, seventh column is 'buy now' for the clutch Kansei240 is speaking of.

89-96 : 3.0 N/T VG30DE : K06045 But you have to specify which 'stage' you are interested in. HTH

[l0nestar]

I just got off the phone with John @ SBC. The TZ stage 2 is a complete kit (pressure plate, clutch disk, throw-out bearing, and alignment tool) for $300 (plus tax + shipping) I'm probably going to be going with South Bend since A.) they are not that far from me, B.) price is right, and C.) It is a Daiken clutch! (I will probably go with the cryo-treatment as well.

[uber95]

Thanks man, appreciate it. I found the PN for the Fidanza F/W it's PN 143341 That's for the RB20. There's guy in Orlando telling me he'll sell me one for $374.10 including FL sales tax, that's drop shipped from Fidanza. Sounds kinda high to me, anyone else get it cheaper?

[minivan_don]

go to http://www.ultrarev.com ... type in "1010" into the coupon code box in the check out and it should drop the price from $320 Us to $290 Us. and yes its for the fidanza 143341

i bought the stage 4 south bend clutch off the z31parts.com sale pricing ... looks dope. rated at 560 lbs tq

[madcowvert]

this may be a dumb question? but is the rb20 flywheel the same as the rb25det? the site says rb20 and nothing about rb25

[minivan_don]

its been covered a few times in detail ... please search. yes it will work for the rb25.

[madcowvert]

well i thought since we were on the topic i could ask!!!but i guess i was wrong and next time i'll search...

im running spec stage 3+ on my rb26 and i like it so far, and my gas pedal is stiffer then my clutch pedal wich i find funny but thats how all spec clutches are.

[s13point5]

well i just got a email back from JGY and they do not carry fidanza no more

Not mine lol stage 5+

I'm looking into a larger bore slave to compensate, anyone got a link to one?

Bro your not going to find that anywhere.There might be 1 out there, but your most likely going to need to read Japanese. lol

There are companies that do make Pedals and Hydraulics, but they are custom pieces you will have to adapt to your application.

Maybe you could take your stock Master and Bore it out.Then take the stock plunger valve and press & weld material on to it.Then you could Turn it down on the lathe to size.

But I think that you need a larger Master cylinder not a larger slave.If I remember from school you would want a larger Master do you would have to put in less work for more force.

Like if you had a 2" dia master and a 1" dia slave.If you put 100 lbs of force into the master then it would mean 200lbs on the Clutch fork.Right????If that's wrong someone please correct me, been out of school a while.

[Carl H]

figure out how to fit the clutch booster from a z32 or r32 gtr to your car, no need for a larger slave.or if you are a pansy call up your local dealer tell them to phone motorsport and to order this japanese p/n : 30620-rs580.thats the part number for the nismo slave unit to suit a ecr33 2wd.
