When it comes to clutch performance, the Advanced Clutch Heavy Duty Pressure Plate N023 stands out from the crowd. This isn't just another part; it's a well-crafted piece of engineering that I’ve personally put through its paces. The exclusive diaphragm design really cranks up the clamp load, which means less deflection and longer clutch life. Trust me, after going through a few clutches in my time, this one’s a game changer.
What I love about the ACT pressure plates is the attention to detail. Each diaphragm goes through a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring you get the kind of performance that’s hard to beat. Plus, the precision cover stampings add a level of rigidity that keeps everything in check, especially when you're pushing your ride to the limits.
Now, if you’re worried about pedal effort, don’t be. This heavy-duty plate offers light to moderate pedal feel, so you won’t feel like you’re wrestling with your car every time you shift. It engages positively, giving you that satisfying feedback you want when you’re on the road or tearing it up at the track. And if you’re looking for longevity, the unique diaphragm design helps extend disc life, making this a solid investment for both street and race applications.
Installation? It’s straightforward. If you need a little guidance, you can check out the install instructions here. Just a heads up, it’s been 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced, so you can count on smooth operation even at high RPMs.
Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: it has a diameter of 8.8 inches (224 mm) and weighs in at a manageable 10.5 lbs. It’s classified as heavy duty and performance grade, with an SFI rating of 1.1. No counterweight assist here, just pure performance.
And if you’re wondering if it’ll fit your ride, this pressure plate is compatible with a solid range of Nissan models, including:
In short, if you’re serious about getting the most out of your Nissan, the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate N023 is definitely worth considering. It’s built to last and designed to perform, whether you're cruising the streets or hitting the racetrack.
