hello peeps,

my clutch has started to slip and was wondering wot is the best clutch to buy for my Z im running aprox 360 bhp @ 325 ilbs of torque. Will the standerd clutch cope?? Also i want to change my engine oil again and was wondering wot is best at the moment :confused:

For clutch see Smithy.

RPS are a very well known brand and will hold that kinda power no worries.

 

As for oil, 10/40 is what nissan recommend. I use 10/50 fully synth and I am running similar power. I would suggest you stay near nissan specs and you;ll not go far wrong but the choice is yours.

thanx for the advice :)

I've got the RPS Max 6 puck clutch and it's hard work. Should be able to get something fairly light under foot that will cope with that kind of power and give your leg a rest :)

I got an rps street clutch from smithy, top bloke top product (im running 15psi)

I'd go for an Exeddy single plate or a RPS street, but avoid the paddle clutches. They really are just for track day and designed for lightness and occational starts full stop. They feel horribly heavy and hard, they overheat and binde in heavy traffic, they burn out if you try to hold the car on it and the don't last long with everyday use.

 

If you want a clutch to hold real power and use every day then you need to spend some money and get either an OS Giken twin plate from £800 including flywheel, a Exeddy twin £980 inc flywheel, Exeddy carbon twin £1150 inc fly or the RPS Carbon carbon £1150 inc fly. these clutches will last as long as the car and can handle real pain without melting.

Just had the RPS carbon clutch fitted to mine, feels like stock clutch but will handle 1000hp.

rps street is perfect for that power, a alternative is the z1 motorsports clutch with the lightened flywheel which is a good price in the states at the mo

thanx peeps for ur advice :) i dont want a heavy clutch think the rps street sounds the way forward been looking on ebay there sum cheaper 1s on there but wouldnt trust them! ive changed my oil 2day was advised the castrol gtx 10/40 hope i choose the right 1 ?
