If you're looking to seriously upgrade your ride, the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit NM1-HDG6 is a game changer. I've had my fair share of clutches, but this one really stands out. It features ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is known for its reliability and performance. The design is smart—using a diaphragm that not only boosts clamp load but also minimizes deflection. This means you get a longer-lasting clutch that can handle the heat of spirited driving or track days.
One of the things I appreciate is the four-stage heat-treating process that the diaphragms go through. It’s not just marketing fluff; it genuinely enhances performance under pressure. Plus, the precision stamping on the cover adds a level of rigidity that you can feel when you're shifting gears. And speaking of shifting, the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is where the magic happens. It’s designed to dampen those torsional vibrations, which is crucial for maintaining control during aggressive driving. Just be ready for a harsher engagement—it’s all about speed here.
The kit is tailored for larger clutch sizes, so it’s perfect if you’re pushing the limits of your horsepower. It absorbs heat like a champ, making it a solid choice for both street and race applications. I’ve noticed that the pedal effort is light to moderate, but don’t let that fool you—this thing engages aggressively and can lead to some mild gear rattle, which is just part of the fun.
When you install this kit, you’ll appreciate the attention to detail. It comes with everything you need, except for a few items like the clutch master cylinder and pressure plate bolts. But don't worry, it does include grease, a pilot bushing, and an alignment tool, which makes the process a lot smoother. And at just 16.7 lbs, it’s not going to weigh you down.
Here are some specs that might help you decide:
This kit fits a range of vehicles including the Infiniti I30 (1996-1999) and Nissan Maxima (1985-2001). If you're serious about performance and want a clutch that can take the heat, this is the way to go. Just make sure to check out the installation instructions to get things rolling smoothly.
