I am looking to get a new clutch and I wanted to get the maxima community's opinion. I am a very spirited driver. I drive hard when I want or feel like it and also I drive a lot. I plan on modifying my car, but not heavy duty mods.
Please any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm very happy with my ACT street clutch...its definitely made the car much more fun to drive. However, only get this clutch if you're planning on breaking it in right (300-500 miles). Additionally, know that while this clutch can handle a lot more power, it won't handle abuse anymore than the stock clutch. If you don't abuse your tranny then i'd say go for this clutch, you'll love how it grabs!

 

go exedy...Act is hell on maxima trannies...
Exedy is much better...its 220 i believe, they run groupdeals on it occasionally

 

If you are not going to be heading towards the forced induction or n2o route then I would get an OEM nissan disc and pressure plate. I say that because If you are not going to be feeding the clutch all that extra power that it can handle it's going to be hell on your tranny. Let's say your new clutch can handle 30% more power, but you are not feeding it any more power. The clutch is then going to be 30% harder on your tranny. Instead of putting all that extra clamping force to the ground, it's going to put that force on your tranny.

 

you got a point there. but we have 3 different opinions here: act, exedy, or oem.

I'm getting a new clutch soon and I still haven't decided what to get.

i'd love to sit and chat but i gotta get to the track.
I'd go with OEM unless you are going to be using nitrous, or FI like i said before. later

 

Hello if you need help with making the right choice give me a call

I second this. If staying NA, go w/ OEM. If you plan to boost or N2O, consider the aftermarket options. The OEM clutch is plenty strong to handle all the bolt-on's.

DO NOT GET THE NISSAN "KEY VALUE" REPLACEMENT CLUTCH KIT. IT IS CRAP. YOU MUST SPECIFY NISSAN OEM & VERIFY PART #'S WHEN SHOPPING.

 

Daikin is the O.E.M Clutch To Nissan

Ive said it time and time again...


All motor = OEM clutch...PERIOD...

S/C, Turbo, N20 = Exedy/ACT (they are the same clutch, just a different pressure plate)


You shouldnt have anything to decide about...

love my exedy

 

I won't post pricing out of courtesy to Clutch King, but I just received a quote by email & to say his pricing is "competitive" could well be the understatement of the year. If his service & intregrity match his pricing, he's going to be very popular around here!
