    Hi guys,

    I feel that my standard clutch from nissan s14 turbo is almost dead

    So the question is very simple, but will help me a lot


    I need to buy new clutch kit - for drifting- I am kinda beginner and want to put something better that standard So:

    1) what would you suggest to buy and where?
    2) which one do you have? (like it or not?)
    3) any advice?

    Of course it would be stupid if I would say I do not care about price, because I do
    but please let me know all options, maybe I will make small present for my s14

    Thanks

    How much power are you running? If your at standard power or a little over the nissan oem clutch is the best option, you be surprised at the abuse they actually take.

    hi

    for now it is standard, but it is every day car and track, so need good clutch :)

    what do you think about F1 clutch kits??

    1. F1 STAGE 2 CLUTCH KIT&FLYWHEEL S13 S14 240SX w/ SR20DET | eBay

    2. F1 STAGE 3 CLUTCH KIT&FLYWHEEL S13 S14 240SX w/ SR20DET | eBay

    3 XTR STAGE 3 CLUTCH KIT SILVIA S13 S14 S15 SR20DET JDM | eBay

    4 F1 STAGE 3 CLUTCH KIT SILVIA S13 S14 240SX SR20DET 2.0L | eBay


    they looks very cheep :) are they better then standard?

    Also if I go for standard, where i can buy it? maybe now the price? :smash:

    thank you

    I might get flamed for this but I run stage 1a with standard clutch, its been drifted hard and driven the same way for the last 8 months on it and doesnt show any signs of failing, also half the price of the expensive items! something to bare in mind.

    I also run an exedy organic sports clutch, it grips as it should, and it is easy/soft enough to use as a daily.

    My friend has the RPS max paddle clutch, and it takes the abuse, however, I wouldn't want to use it in a daily.

    I have had issues with excedy organics in a daily. My OEM (blueprint) is lasting longer.

    Excedy standard clutches are no good if you are going to drift or run a bit more power both my mates have burnt there's out in days in the past 1 has an s12 1 has a s14a if you jump to the next clutch from them the fast road the price jumps loads and you can but a paddle clutch from eBay for less
