xtd clutch explosion.

OS Giken & Tilton FTW.
By the time you crank the pressure up on the pressure plate (#1 cause of common crank walk in the JZ) and get a 3-4 puck (not street drivable) Then have an OEM single plate explode and take your legs out. You will realize how you would have been better with a tilton or os giken.

I just find it funny people blame "insert cheap part name here" when it was a toyota part that failed Im not condoning cheap china parts, just get the facts straight before pointing fingers theres enough misinformation on every forum around
Aisin =/ Toyota
Anyway, it's not misinformation, as it's sold as upgraded as it's obviously not up to the challenge...

i had/have and xtd clutch. i pulled it out and put a factory one with a street disk in instead. the xtd chattered and slipped like crazy. i had also heard that it is just the factory pp painted red. someone said that when bench tested against a factory pp the xtd actually held less...
Well, someday today... I should be getting my car back... of course. Many things could be said, but I have a horrible headache... and am gonna recover now. Jolly good day.
Aside from the reputations of both clutches, I have always seen a tremendous conflict of interest in the XTD scam thread. It was started by someone about to start selling a new clutch.

Yet, for a dealer to say that a clutch is good for so much of a rating... and mind you, the one I bought is pretty much new.
It's hard to steer away from the fact that it is a scam... what else would you call it? For a part to come apart at 300 whp... and what not. Not even close to the guaranteed 400 (+) horsepower rating they gave it.
In the end it comes down to the old saying, "You get what you pay for."
I admit I payed for a cheap product... and I got just that... a worthless cheap product.
So the fault is totally all mine.
Sad, I didn't notice the Scam thread before I got the darn thing.
But now I know... first hand even.

He was already selling the clutch and told that you could get the same thing on ebay for $200 less, hence the investigation.
