White heads article says it can be used on the street, I would like to know if there is anybody who has actually used this on the street ....

 

I want a good clutch ... i dont care if its over kill for my needs...i just want to know if its streetable or an on/off switch.

How much hp you making? Looks like a lot of dough and trouble for (?). An Autozone clutch kit for a 280z 2+2 will likely be fine for most L6s.

I have run clutches from Ottawa Clutch, right in your own backyard. They will set you up with whatever your needs are for a deccent price.

 

As for off the shelf...I have also used ACT clutches....had a 6 puck sprung clutch in a 3.0 liter turbo stroker setup. Reasonably priced and held up to a lot of abuse.

I've installed 2 OSG double plate clutches on customer 240zs. One was a 400hp SR20 swap and the other was a 350hp L28T. Both customers were very happy and preferred the OSG clutches to the Act clutches previously installed.

I've had great luck with SPEC clutches. I'm currently running on my L series motor their stage 5 full metallic unspring hub full face disc.  Surprisingly smooth and it's bulletproof.

Thanks guys ! Sounds like there pretty stealth.The reason i wanted to start this thread was because after searching these clutches... reviews for other  cars people were complaining about chatter . There is a couple vids too but could just be install errors or who knows .

I've got an OSG STR 2CD in my 240Z, driven on the road and used on the track, took a while to get used to the biting point for road driving and still occasionally stall but no major dramas with it

 

Mine does rattle/chatter when the clutch pedal is depressed but its a characteristic of the unsprung clutch cover design, I believe sprung covers are available for some of the OSG range 

 

My advice for what its worth, speak to OSG and tell them what your needs are and they'll recommend a clutch, when I contacted them they didn't offer an STR 2CD for the L series engine but in their opinion it was the best clutch for my needs so they said if I'd like one they'd put me a kit together, good people to deal with

I'm with Drew on this no need for osgiken I own the car he previously owned the 3l stroker turbo. The act held lots of abuse. When we finally swapped to z32 tranny we ended up with a new disc from Ottawa clutch holding 400 hp and no slip 6 years they also surfaced and balanced highly recommend.
