I just received my ACT clutch kit today and the first thing I noticed was that all of the teeth on the pressure plate are scraped up as if the item has been previously used.

Are pp tested at the factory or should they arrive blemish free?

While the clutch itself was shrink-wrapped pretty well the wrap around the pp was loose and torn in certain places as if the pp had been removed them re-inserted.

 

ACT uses stock Nissan pressure plates, probabably used ones, but then modifies them. I'm sure it was tested at the production facility. My PP came the same way.

 

that's prefectly normal...they test them...

 

brand new PP are used.

 

That's definately good to know.

 

is break in period 1000 miles or 500 miles? and i guess that means keeping it under 3k rpms?

 

when i got mine it said break in was 200-300 miles. i think i'll break it in until 500 just to be safe.

 

i think it was like 300 city driving miles under 3500 rpms.

 

thank you cheston and chris.. 1000 would have been murder

 

I broke my in at 300 city miles but I raced a GS400 not a good idea but right after 550 miles I was at the track. And now it is soft like a stock clutch, I also chirp my tires in 4th gear oooooh Yeah!!!! no wheel hop to go with that courtesy of the place racing engine mounts, I think those engine mounts lowered the car another 1/2inch.

 

How would motor mounts lower the car?!?!?!

 

I dont know but it did to my car , but check this out briguy when we installed the place racing motor mounts they did not line up, so what do I mean to get no wheel hop right the engine would have to be snug tight therefor pulling the engine down to sinch it down therefor you dont get no wheel hop but no lie, before I had a perfect two finger fender well gap now I have less, that is the last Mod I did to my car a month and half ago, if I sound like a fool someone please correct me but I noticed that a couple of days ago. Thanks for not calling me a dumazzz but seriously, also I loosened the shock all the way for a comfortable rid and I still had less then 2 finger fender well gap. But the Place racing motor mounts fit very tight and snug.
