Yeah, I agree that I may consider a lightweight flywheel before too long as well....The whitebunny setup is nice, but I am starting to think I miss my old 11lb flywheel.

Heavy duty 350z act clutch kit feels awesome! Its a full disc and sprung so it lasts and feels ni ce plus it will hold 500tq. Ive been using it with an excedy cromoly rb20flywheel for two years now with no issues.

how does the clutch engagement feel...is it diff to drive in traffic, is it chattery when engaging......thinkin this might be to much of heavy duty...lookin more for a stock clutch pedal feel and engagement but able to withstand 400+

Ah what the hell. Probably from people calling to ask if it's too good to be true. Oh well, I personally would only be interested in the setup with a lighter flywheel. Their normal white bunny package ends up being just as heavy or heavier than the stock clutch/flywheel right? Also, that pressure plate they include is just an OE replacement.

Just got my white bunny clutch kit from Thmotorsports. I ordered the oe version clutch disc. The only problem I had was it had been droped and part of the disc was chiped, contacted there tech support and they are going to exchange it. I am waiting on them for a quote on kevlar disc.

I've got a South Bend Stage 4 with the SS pressure plate. Did 450whp and feels like stock just a bit stiffer. It's rated for 475tq and it lasts forever.

running a d21 pickup flywheel with a 300zx na act multi puck rated for 525. engagement isnt too bad, no where near a full face, but the clutch holds perfectly and takes anything you give it.

Does anyone know if the 6 puck disc in this white bunny is sprung or unsprung?

http://thmotorsports.com/competition_cl ... 20734.aspx

I just ordered it. And am thinking of calling them and switching it to the full faced disc if it is unsprung. Mostly because I'm not gonna be making over 350whp and I feel a full faced disc would last longer. But I usually have that "overkill" mentality lol

It is sprung. I wish I had got the full face for the same reason. I don't want to have to replace my disk too soon.

how is the driveability with the 6 puck? lots of shaking when pulling out in 1st gear? How about clutch chatter?

Yeah and yeah. It has been broken in, but it chatters quite a bit when cold. Pretty annoying. I usually just take off aggresively, or rev up, drop throttle, then engage. If you do it right it won't chatter or chirp the tires.
