My sc300 will have a 1jz 3.5l TT engine with 5spd trans. That engine swap alone is easier, and yields more results than ANY 3.5 swap.

I have a Spec stage2 clutch on my 3.5. I too have an UDP and I dont detect any slip at all. And I did beat on it slightly while still in the break-in period. After only 80miles a Mazda 6 tried me and I just HAD to shoot it down. With only 80 miles on the clutch I powershifted and not an ounce of slippage. I felt bad for it and babied it for a few days, but now Im whoring it and its just fine. ~550miles on it so far and no problems (hopefully it will stay that way).
Also, Goalikeg (another 3.5 swapper) is running the 5th gen clutch with no problems.

VQ35 I/H/Y/E EU LC-1. Even though I'm untuned (that shall change this weekend), I'm still putting out around 220whp, and I've already beat on this clutch alot. I like it personally.

haha, just slippping it in there. ive been searching and I KNOW it has been discussed before but i cant find it. didnt want to create a new thread for old topic, so just wanted to put it in there since clutches was the topic.

Everyone has a clutch they prefer but no one can say the best clutch for the swap becuz no one has really had the swap for that long a time. Some people have a clutch that died and other people might have the same clutch w/ no problem at all.
