what clutch to get with these mods..
I am pulling my motor out tommorow to do a hidden nitrous install on my SC3 5-speed. And since I am going to have quite a bit more horsepower then stock with mods+nitrous, I was thinking I should replace the clutch.
This is what I have for mods so far...
Intake/Exhaust--
3" downpipe w/no cats
2.5" exhaust w/Bomz mufflers
EGT block off plates
Coolant bypass
Custom coldair intake w/K&N filter
AEM water bypass valve
CP breather filter
Ignition/Fuel--
300zx fuel pump (in tank)
Magnacor 8.5mm wires
NGK 3330 spark plugs
Drivetrain--
Supra TT LSD
Redline Shockproof gear lube
Supra TT rims
Possibly a stock supra TT fuel rail, injectors, and FPR. Along with a SAFC...
And a 100 shot of direct port is being put on. I have no dyno numbers to get any idea of what I should be running for RWHP so if anyone here could suggest a proper clutch for these mods within a resonable price range it would be greatly appriciated. NA-T guys?

650rwhp??? I wish!!!! I've got this clutch. It's marginal in the 500rwhp range. It was polite at first but after the first time to the track, the clutch turned pretty chattery, and not very slippable. My impressions on this one have gone from great to ho hum after the track visit.

I should say, its ok. Its better than the RPS. Its semi-slippable, occasionally smooth, but usually chattery. Its just the nature of the beast. I'm happier overall than with the RPS. I got the HPF disc with the ACT plate. Overall its grippier, but I did have it slip on me already (once).
Its just that I'm at the stage where a dual disc setup (not dual diaphragm) would benefit greatly. Someone needs to come up with a twin stock disk setup with a center floater plate. That is my wish.

clutchnet
I just got this clutchnet 6puck sprung disk w/ dual diaphram pressure plate in my 92...
they claim that it will hold up to 700rwhp. chatters constantly. even though i dont have the power yet, it seems to grip like hell. I have only had about 3 weeks on this clutch, so it isnt completely broken in
**MUST have strong left leg. **
but the clutch is cheap (i think a little over 500 retail)
i figured i would just use this until my tranny blows and i can get that bellhousing from the 1jz to slap in the 7m gte tranny..

I probably would have been swayed to the Clutchmasters stage 4 with double diaphragm if it weren't for all the talk about the HPF clutch.
I just don't like the idea of twice the pedal effort. May be the only solution, though, since nobody will make a twin disc.

twin disk?
someone gave me a quote of about 2000 bucks on a twin disk.. he said that tilton actually makes a twin disk for our tranny.. but then again he could be wrong. I just couldnt see myself putting 2gs into a clutch! (maybe into a 6speed, but who knows how long this tranny will last...)
hey angel did you have any throw out bearing problems?? it started making a little noise, but it was adjusted and now its fine..

I wrote on the Supraforums that Tilton *may* have an application for us. Not sure though. I'd be tempted to pay $2000 for a rebuildable unit, if it means that I'd be able to rebuild for a reasonable amount.
