I'd avoid a pucked clutch. One thing you need to avoid is engagment shock running that much power. I'd think strongly about the new Tilton design. I've seen it used on 300 hp all motor drag Hondas and it is very forgiving and durable (also much lighter than stock). Don't know if they've done an S2K app yet, but they'd probably be interested - and Tilton is very reputable.

UL is dead right.. Until someone offers a sprung 6 puck, the marcel spring just isnt going to cut it.. too much punch reverberating towards the rear.
Brian at Clutch Specialties needs to get his act together and drop us the good ones he makes for the Nissans.

If ACT makes one (pretty sure they do) you won't need anything else and it will drive just very much like the stock setup. No need for overkill on this one. You WILL shatter your tranny way before the ACT will let you down. Get the disc, pressure plate and flywheel.....

The star clutch stage 3 is a sprung 4 puck. You might also consider the stage 2 which is an OEM disk rebuilt with different pad materials.. I think it's rated to the lower 300 HP.
UL, a Sprung Pucked disk should be ok for the rear end right?

From what I'm hearing, I'm definitely going to need a sprung-style clutch because the shock of a too-grabby clutch will eventually destroy axles or other drivetrain parts. Since I'm really just getting started on this project, I probably should start another thread to find out exactly what in the drivetrain is so weak aside from the differential and axles which I most likely will pre-emptively replace with Kaaz products.
Does using a clutch with MORE springs help more? Or do all sprung clutches have 6 springs?
