Clutch Masters 90-96 Nissan 300Z& 300ZX 3.0L Non-T (From 2/89) / 93-98 Nissan Skyline RB25DET Eng. (
Clutch Masters 06045-HDC6 is an FX400 six-puck clutch that covers two very different Nissans sharing one clutch pattern: the 1990-1996 300ZX with the 3.0L non-turbo VG30DE, and the push-type RB-engine Skyline, including the RB20DET, RB25DET and RB26DETT. The 300ZX buyer is usually running a non-turbo car with heavy engine work or a forced-induction kit; the Skyline buyer is often building an RB25DET or an RB swap that has outgrown an organic clutch and slips under boost.
The FX400 uses Clutch Masters' Power Plus I high-leverage, heavy-duty pressure plate with a sprung ceramic disc, and the company rates the system at a 170 percent increase in holding capacity. The ceramic buttons resist the heat that glazes organic discs on a heavy, high-torque straight-six or V6, and the sprung hub damps the drivetrain shock that would otherwise reach the gearbox and differential.
The 6-puck disc is the aggressive member of the FX400 family. With no marcel cushion under the riveted pads, it grabs quickly, and Clutch Masters warns it may chatter slightly in first and reverse. It also states that ceramic discs are not intended for stock or near-stock cars, and that easy street use can actually shorten clutch life through harsh engagement and slipping. For a street-driven 300ZX or Skyline with moderate power, the FX250 06045-HD0F or the FX350 kit is the friendlier step.
The kit includes the pressure plate, the sprung 6-puck disc, a release bearing, a pilot bearing where the application uses one, an alignment tool and instructions. Shipping weight is 20 lb. No flywheel is included.
Bleed the hydraulics and check the master and slave cylinders before blaming the disc; a pedal that does not fully return keeps the plate partly released. Inspect the bellhousing for rear main seal or input seal leaks, since oil will make the new disc slip too. Then run a low-rpm, full-load pull in a high gear and compare the tach with road speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the test, and flare versus slip explains how to tell clutch slip from other faults.
Clutch Masters lists 06045-HDC6 for:
Two points to check. First, the twin-turbo 300ZX is not on this list; it takes the 06046-HDC6. Second, the RB fitment is for push-type release systems only, so a pull-type RB gearbox needs a different kit. Swapped Skylines and RB-powered imports vary, so confirm the engine, the transmission and its release type, and the flywheel the clutch will bolt to. Send us your year and VIN, or the engine and gearbox details for a swap, and we will check it before you order.

No. Clutch Masters lists 06045-HDC6 for the 1990-1996 300ZX 3.0L non-turbo from 2/89. The twin-turbo car uses the 06046-HDC6 kit.
The 1989-1993 RB20DET and the 1989-1998 RB25DET and RB26DETT with a push-style release. Pull-type RB transmissions need a different clutch.
The sprung hub makes it drivable, but it engages quickly and may chatter in first and reverse. Clutch Masters says ceramic discs are not for stock or near-stock cars; the FX250 or FX350 suits mild builds better.
Pressure plate, sprung 6-puck ceramic disc, release bearing, pilot bearing where applicable, alignment tool and instructions. The flywheel is sold separately.
Resurface or replace the flywheel, replace the pilot bearing, check the fork, pivot and hydraulics, and repair any rear main or input seal leak before installing the new clutch.
