well i live in a very small town (bluefield/princeton, wv)
our high way (460) only has about 4-7 cars at a redlight stop so stalling out for a couple days wont be to bad here. PLUS they can kiss my ass for all i care lol got to learn how to drive it some how and some where. in town its even less cars at a red light stop maybe like 2-3 lol.
5pm traffic is different from the 2-4/6-10 traffic times.

I do agree this sounds like the best set-up for me to go with.
even tho i wanted a full street disk i just destroyed a 6 puck rated at 280hp in about a total of less than 1000 miles after the break in. didnt know the car had that much power or i would have tooken it easier on the clutch but shit happens.

ur xtd shit doesnt count bro... u shoulda made this thread b4 purchasing that junk!

based on your area traffic is a non issue... go with the fx500. best clutch for the buck, hands down.

hey i didnt purchase the pos clutch ahah
It was in there when i traded my b13 sentra 94 with a sr20ve-t on 10.5 psi
But it had a cracked trans and that was the 3rd one so i said fuck it ill trade it to you for your nx with a p11 trans.
and he said yeah so i did it lol.
then the clutch went out. i know it was new cause i seen recipts and pics of the install.
plus they are good guys that i deal with.
he built the sentra i had so i did him a favor by getting his baby back to him so i dont feel bad about any of this it happens for a reason like everything does.

Thats what I got from them. I told them I wanted a 6 puck though.
How hard is this 4 puck fx500 on the p11 transmission?
It feels like to me its really hard on the car.
Idk tho. Just would love some input!

I went with an fx400 and it works very well. Pedal is like stock and although the clutch grabs firmly it is not at all harsh. Money well spent.

This is what I plan on getting. My buddy got this clutch kit with an unsprung disc, I'm thinking I want a sprung disc. What did you end up going with Matt? Based off the research I've done clutchmasters is a way better choice over ACT

Sentrathis96, I went with a sprung center because I'm on the stock b13 ser transmission for now and am trying to avoid harsh engagement.

4 puck unsprung.

Its only hard because of my clutch engagement point (which needs to be changed) and my cold enrichment for my ecu (both things which are user defined and is only head to be fixed). Before these two issues came up, it drove just fine and engagement was not harsh unless provoked by myself
