So my clutch crapped out on me yet again, looking for a twin disc under 1700.00 need it to be able to hold over 600lbs of tq and has to be for a z32 tranny application. What experiences do you guys have?

there aren't any exact specs on this clutch but maybe you could contact z1 and find out.

also found this spec clutch which is like their most almighty form.
SPEC Mini Twin Clutch Kit X-Trim: Nissan 300Z 1990-1996 3.0L VG30DETT, SPEC SN46MT3, SPEC Clutch Kit (http://www.lmperformance.com/140264/.html)
there were two other trims of it that were a little weaker for about a 100 less. this one is listed at 1349.

Under $1700 you're going to be hard pressed to find what you're looking for. Most twin disc clutches are rated for peak trq around 600. Start looking into triple disc clutches and/or carbon/carbon clutches. RPS has a few, Exedy does as well. You're going to be well above what you are looking to spend though...

Southbend DXD is pretty cheap. They have high torque applications. Good customer service as well. But yes, triple disc or carbon/kevlar is what you're going to have to go with here.

600hp in a Honda is no more than 450ft/lbs of trq. No clutch should be rated by HP...
