    Id fully recommend Walton at Nispro to supply and fit and exedy clutch on your car. He did my sisters S14a a few weeks ago and service and price was extremely good...around £400 fitted for 300bhp rated car...

    Ive bought a used ACT organic two years ago after 20k i killed it in year mainly caused by shit driving and open diff. After wielder, with decent seat time, i swapped out for a new (£200) XTD paddle. my drifting was a lot better by then no riding it at all lol but it slipped a lot, felt light, weak and crumbled to bits in 4months is and it was fitted and run in properly. I was mainly streeto in the wet aswell! I put the ACT pressure plate back in for money reasons with a genuine new nissan friction plate i got for £20 in Bristol of a member That combo has done me proud 10k of mainly abuse and streeto shes still going strong. Im running about 270bhp. Its a heavy clutch so if your girl or are weak, work out or something cus its worth it

    Yer, I ordered a Nismo clutch from them. Went for that in the end, they did it for the same price as an ACT

    There are mixed reviews of them but you can save a bucket load by getting an XTD clutch. Most of the reviews I have read say they are brilliant as long as they are run in properly (500 miles careful driving). Those that didn't do this leave bad reviews for them but it is the way I am going.

    Call me stupid... but I didn't think any clutch had to be "run in" it's got a brand new friction plate.. if any thing you can be harsher on the pedal because of the extra meat on the plate...

    All clutches should be run in. I think all manufacturers recommend a running in period of 500 miles of careful driving. I think it has something to do with controlling the heat input into it which will obviously change the material properties and change the way it wears. I think most clutches have less of a problem with not doing it but it is still recommended. However, XTD's seem to be particularly sensitive to it. But if you follow the guidelines they seem to be great value!!

    Glad to have a reply from someone who has done exactly what I wanted to do.. exact same clutch I'm after..

    I wanted a clutch that can handle around 300bhp and isn't too hard / heavy. Thanks pip but I think I'll be going for the ACT from SRB!

    Cheers guys
