Competition Clutch 1995-2000 Nissan Silvia Stage 4 - 6 Pad Ceramic Clutch Kit
Competition Clutch 60442-1620 is the Stage 4 Strip Series kit in the maker's 60442 line, which covers the 1995-2000 Nissan Silvia along with the 1991-2002 Infiniti G20 and the 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX 2.0L. Owners shopping for it usually have an SR20 making far more power than the factory clutch was ever sized for: a turbo build, a drag car, or a street car that now spins the tach every time boost arrives. Stage 4 is the top of Competition Clutch's single-disc ladder for this application, and it is built for grip first and comfort second.
The kit pairs a Competition Clutch performance pressure plate with a six-puck sprung disc faced with ceramic buttons. Competition Clutch rates the Stage 4 Strip Series at up to a 250 percent increase in torque capacity over stock. Ceramic buttons tolerate far more heat than an organic face before they fade, and splitting the friction area into six pucks raises the pressure on each one, so the clutch locks up fast and hard. The sprung hub matters on this part number: the -1620 version keeps damper springs in the center, while the -0620 version of the same kit uses a solid hub. The springs soak up some driveline shock and gear rattle, which makes the 1620 the better pick if the car still sees the street.
Expect an on-off feel. A puck disc gives you less slip window when pulling away, and some chatter in first gear and reverse is normal for this type of disc. If your build makes moderate power and spends most of its time in traffic, the Stage 2 Steelback Brass Plus kit in the same 60442 family is the smoother choice.
A slipping clutch shows itself in a high gear: fourth, low rpm, then full throttle. If the tach rises faster than road speed, the disc is not holding. Before blaming the clutch, bleed the hydraulics and make sure the pedal returns fully, because a slave cylinder that keeps the fork partly applied produces the same slip. Also look for oil wetting the bellhousing; a leaking rear main or input seal will glaze any new disc. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the test, and shift flare vs slip explains what you are seeing on the gauge.
Our listing names the 1995-2000 Nissan Silvia. Competition Clutch lists 60442-1620 for the 1995-2000 Silvia, the 1991-2002 Infiniti G20 and the 1995-1998 200SX 2.0L, and its product title calls out the SR20DET. Those cars do not all share the same drivetrain layout, and SR20 swaps are everywhere, so do not order on the chassis badge alone. Compare the disc diameter, spline count and pressure plate bolt pattern of the clutch you are removing, or send us the year, VIN and the engine and gearbox actually in the car and we will check it before it ships. A 240SX with a rear-drive SR20DET swap may be better served by a kit listed for that combination, such as the SPEC SR20DET RWD Stage 3. More options are on our rebuild kits page.

Both are Stage 4 six-puck ceramic kits for the same cars. The 1620 has a sprung hub that damps driveline shock; the 0620 uses a solid hub for racing.
No. Competition Clutch lists the flywheel as not included. Resurface the original or buy a flywheel that matches your engine and gearbox.
It can be driven on the street, but the puck disc engages abruptly and may chatter in first and reverse. A Stage 2 kit is easier to live with on a lightly modified car.
Competition Clutch lists it for the Silvia, G20 and 200SX 2.0L. Swapped cars vary, so send us your VIN and the engine and transmission installed, or compare the old disc before ordering.
Drive normally and shift often for the first 500 miles, avoiding hard launches, so the friction surfaces bed in evenly.
