Clutch Masters 89-96 Nissan 300Z& 300ZX 3.0L Twin T FX400 Clutch Kit 6-Puck
Clutch Masters 06046-HDC6 is the FX400 6-puck clutch kit for the Z32 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, 1989-1996, with the 3.0L twin-turbo V6. Owners shopping this number usually have more boost, bigger turbos or a tune on the VG30DETT and a clutch that now flares the tach on a third or fourth gear pull. It is a race and street kit for cars that are driven hard, not a replacement for a worn stock clutch on an unmodified Z.
The kit pairs the Clutch Masters Power Plus I hi-leverage heavy-duty pressure plate with a sprung ceramic button disc in the 6-puck layout. Clutch Masters rates the FX400 at a 170 percent increase in holding capacity over stock. The heavy-duty sprung hub keeps some damping in the driveline, which makes it far more livable on the street than a rigid race disc, but the pucks are riveted with no marcel cushion between the linings. That is why engagement is quick, and Clutch Masters warns it may chatter slightly in first and reverse. The maker also states plainly that ceramic discs are meant to raise holding capacity and durability, not service life, and are never recommended for stock or near-stock cars. If your twin turbo is close to factory power, the FX250 or FX350 in the same 06046 family is the better daily choice.
Rule out the inexpensive causes first. Bleed the clutch hydraulics, check that the pedal returns fully and that the slave cylinder is not leaking, and look at the bellhousing for engine oil or gear oil that would contaminate any new disc. Then do a high-gear, low-rpm, full-throttle test and watch the tach against road speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through that test, and the manual repair cost guide helps you budget the labor, which is significant on a Z32 twin turbo with its crowded engine bay and exhaust in the way.
Clutch Masters lists 06046-HDC6 for the Nissan 300Z / 300ZX 1989-1996 3.0L Twin Turbo, and our listing reads the same years. It is specific to the twin-turbo car. The naturally aspirated 300ZX uses the 06045 kit family instead, such as the 06045-HDC6 non-turbo FX400, so check your engine before ordering. Engine and transmission swaps are common in these cars; if yours has been changed, send us the year, VIN and what is installed and we will confirm before it ships.

No. Clutch Masters lists this kit for the 1989-1996 300ZX 3.0L Twin Turbo only. Naturally aspirated cars use the 06045 kit family, such as 06045-HDC6.
It can be driven on the street thanks to the sprung hub, but it has no marcel cushion, engages quickly and may chatter slightly in first and reverse. Clutch Masters does not recommend ceramic discs for stock or near-stock cars.
Clutch Masters rates the FX400 at a 170 percent increase in holding capacity over the factory clutch.
No. The kit includes the pressure plate, disc, release bearing, pilot bearing when applicable and an alignment tool. Resurface the stock flywheel or fit a new one at the same time.
Brake fluid. Bleed the system after the install with the fluid type printed on the clutch reservoir cap, and flush it fully if the old fluid is dark.
Clutch Masters asks for a minimum of 500 miles of normal stop-and-go driving, with no full-throttle shifts or compression braking, before hard use.
