6 puck on the street?
 

Anyone here running a 6 puck clutch on the street? If so, how is the drivability?

I'm trying to get a clutch installed before I put my car away. One shop recommended the Z1 6 puck another shop recommends a Southbend TZR.

I imagine that would get a little grabby for dd'ing. my buddy got a clutch taht was a little aggresssive in his sti and it made driving it on the streets hell

definitely not going to enjoy dd'ing that setup. i've had custoemrs who insisted on that setup, only to go back and switch it out.

OS giken ftw!

I use the the specialty Z 6 puck on the street. Other then a slightly firmer pedal it drives like stock. Comes with everything you will need too

I ran an ACT 6-puck clutch and Fidanza 15lb flywheel in both my G35 and 370Z (both were daily drivers...aka 10-20k miles a year). It never slipped, which was most important to me. The one thing I hated was the consistency of the "grab", but this could have been due to a bad master/slave cylinder.

Yes, the 6-puck is heavier. Yes, at times the clutch would be either in/out with no play. The question is would I buy again? Yes, I would. Don't let it scare you :)

I ran one, ACT 6 puck, the grab was CRAZY, Daily drove the car(11 SEC EVO) Was a little tuff in traffic,, LOL car would hop a little, HAHAH But got used to it. The Clutch kit was vey very good.

The Z is not my daily driver but is primarily driven on the streets, maybe 2-3 times a week depending on weather. Spec-wise it will be good for the kind of power I'll be putting down. I was just worried about the drivability, thanks for the responses guys :tup:

I've heard that's even harder to drive with in traffic. And Cha-Ching!!! $$$$

OS Giken FTW!!! I agree! I have the triple and double and both are like stock but heavier. Not bad in traffic either. My 5'2 wife drove the twin and never complained!

I have this same setup only running it w/ a JWT flywheel and wouldn't have it any other way. I love the feel. I can't stand stock clutches...yuck!

It is pricey but not much different feeling for me compared to stock just a little more stiff. Takes getting used to but dd'ing in traffic is fine now.

I have that clutch on my G35 and IMO it's a very DD-able setup. Not all 6 pucks drive the same and when i tried the ACT it was vastly different. Anyways, if it drives the same on the vhr as it does on my car then i'd recommend it.

This thread has some good information.:tup:

Forgot to mention that I have the southbend one, not the Z1.
