Posted August 18, 20204 yr comment_604421 Im soon to swap my clutch in my street driven 240z (L28 5speed 220hp). Has anyone used these clutches? https://www.ebay.com/itm/133090584124 //Andreas Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64357-clutch-max-clutches/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 18, 20204 yr comment_604435 Looks interesting. They use the typical "Stage" 1,2,3 labels, whatever that means. All the way up to Stage 6! (Should have gone to 11). They sell flywheels too, apparently. But their web page only goes back to 1981, oddly. And it doesn't work for finding a product. Some Ford Mustang stuff, but no other brands. I guess it's all eBay. The numbers seem right at the bottom of the eBay page. Surprising that it's so cheap. Too good to be true? Made in America and dirt cheap? https://clutchmax.net/pages/about-us Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64357-clutch-max-clutches/#findComment-604435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 18, 20204 yr comment_604439 Too cheap, I agree with that. It'll slip with your motor I'd bet. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64357-clutch-max-clutches/#findComment-604439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 19, 20204 yr Author comment_604480 Thanks for your input. Anyone have a recommendation of a good clutch that’s not too expensive? Shipping/import fees often makes the price twice as high for parts to get to Sweden were i live.

August 19, 20204 yr comment_604481 I've been happy with Exedys from amazon.com. Have them in my two Zs. $100 back a few years ago. 6009 is the number I remember.

Have your throwout bearing pressed on at a machine shop properly. I did my first one myself with the old bearing and a 2lb hammer, it has a slight spinning noise out of gear. The 2nd one I paid $10 and it makes absolutely NO noise out of gear. Just an FYI.

Will probably not change the clutch myself so will forward this to the person that will do this.

August 20, 20204 yr comment_604569 If you can find a kit that comes with the throwout sleeve it might help avoid headaches afterward. Looks like some of the kits do, some don't. The high-performance kits seem to comes with all of the parts and there's some fancy looking discs. And don't forget the 225 vs 240 mm. If you have 220 HP then who knows what flywheel and clutch that you're using. You probably do. I assume your question was really just about this new brand name on the scene, Clutch Max. You might even want to get a new flywheel, you can still get the 240 mm flywheels. 225 is hard to find. Here's 1976's offerings, just for viewing pleasure. I bought a Perfection Zoom clutch from OReilly auto and didn't like it. It chattered when it got hot. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1976,280z,2.8l+l6,1209226,transmission-manual,clutch+kit,1993 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1976,280z,2.8l+l6,1209226,transmission-manual,flywheel,5348 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64357-clutch-max-clutches/#findComment-604569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 20, 20204 yr comment_604571 Consider a Exedy 240mm turbo clutch kit, and appropriate flywheel. Have the flywheel lightened to compensate for the heavier clutch parts. Should handle your power well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64357-clutch-max-clutches/#findComment-604571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
