I'm running the southbend stage 4 clutch/flywheel with the zspeed csc. Have nothing but hood things to say about both. If you want a streetable clutch that can handle a beating this is what id go for. Very streetable, with 0 slip. Running 7k miles so far.

updates on your clutches everyone?

I had my JWT setup on for about 4,000 boosted miles with no problems. Made a couple track passes with it and daily drove it and it was very comfortable the whole time. I ended up selling the car to purchase a GT-R but the setup still looked pretty much brand new when I took it off the car. It did have some chatter though, not nearly as bad as other vehicles I've heard though.

My build is featuring Competition Clutch's Twin Disk and Z Speed CSC. Gonna be a while before I can comment on how it works out since I am deployed, but we will see next summer. I can't wait.

Any others care to share their clutch setup status as of late? I am curious about the OS Touring Twin Disk folks as well.............

^^ I really like competition clutch's equipment. Good quality stuff there.

Ron 11-09-2011 10:21 PM

Rob what did you pay for that setup if you don't mind me asking? Are you also using their flywheel?

Any experience with the Southbend TZR? I was considering the DXD Stage4 but apparently people are having issues engaging 1st and R.

I looked @ the Southbend units first, but have never seen one. I think they do domestics for the most part. I decided not to go with them and go with the OS Giken Twin Disk instead. However, that didn't work out as planned. So Comp Clutch Twin Disk it is.

As far as price for the Comp Clutch Twin Plate and Z Speed CSC, I was quoted the prices off the websites, but I have been dealing with Mike Bailey (Zerolift Autolab) for quite a few years and he has always squared me away.

I dont see a twin disc setup for the Z34 on their website.

roplusbee 11-10-2011 12:45 PM

Mike was trying to make it so I got one of the first ones that they run off, but that didn't happen because of timing. I asked him the same thing after going to Comp's website. I guess he has used Comp's products before and spoke to them about how Zerolift is doing my build. That is how he came up with the info. I will speak with Mike and see if he will chime in and speak on the matter.

My ACT 6puck held up fine from May - September when I was boosting...although it may have only ran right for 2 months total between that time frame.

thats what I'm running, streetable! Exedy Stg 2 triple puck held all day long on my 350.

You have an ACT as well? I had it on my G35 for 50k miles and it never slipped... and I had at least 100 runs down the drag strip with it. I have a 188 time slips from that car.

South Bend is much bigger into imports than domestic. They have been building clutches for over 40 years and do know a thing or 2 about them ;)
They use better materials and clutch linings in their kits than any other clutch company I have dealt with. They use ZERO Chinese parts on there kits, Unlike just about every other clutch company.

roplusbee 11-13-2011 04:04 PM

That's wassup then. I just saw a rack of domestic cars on their webpage. Obviously, I have zero experience with their products. Thanks for sharing the correct info.

Hopefully my Competition clutch twin disk has minimal (fingers crossed for zero) Chinese parts, lol.
