Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in 1989–1994 Nissan 240SX, the EXEDY Hyper Twin Clutch Kit – 1989–1994 Nissan 240SX is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
EXEDY Engineering Background
Since 1923, EXEDY has developed clutch and powertrain components for OEM and performance use around the world. The company's Daikin Clutch heritage and motorsports engineering experience underpin a catalog that ranges from OE replacement hydraulics and clutch kits to SFI-certified sport clutches, chromoly flywheels, and Hyper multi-plate assemblies.
What This EXEDY Product Does
EXEDY's performance single- and multi-plate systems are intended to raise torque capacity and heat tolerance while matching the engagement characteristics to the car's intended use. Stage 1 uses an organic friction strategy for the most street-friendly behavior; Stage 2 moves to cerametallic friction for harder use; Hyper systems add dedicated flywheel and multi-plate architecture for substantially higher-output builds.
Choose the least aggressive configuration that comfortably covers the engine's torque and heat load. That approach normally gives the best balance of drivability, service life, transmission friendliness, and track durability.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: NM012SD
- Configuration: Hyper Twin Clutch Kit
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration; sprung-center disc, push-type cover
- Torque Rating: Application-specific / verify EXEDY rating
- Best Suited For: Use where this exact EXEDY configuration and fitment are required
Choosing the Right Configuration
For 1989–1994 Nissan 240SX, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
Specifications & Service Notes
- Clamp Load: Stage 1/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part
- Pedal Effort: Typical Stage 1/2 increase is approximately 20–35%, application dependent
- Flywheel Compatibility: Stage 1/2 generally use the OEM flywheel unless noted; Hyper systems include/require their dedicated flywheel
- Certification: EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified
- Vehicle Application: 1989–1994 Nissan 240SX
- EXEDY SKU: NM012SD
Application-specific construction notes: Sprung-center disc, Push-type cover, Cerametallic friction.
Fitment note: Fitment should be verified against the exact drivetrain, not model name alone. Check year, engine, transmission, and any existing flywheel or EXEDY clutch-system part number before installation.
