Nissan Silvia is a line of small sports cars manufactured by Nissan. For export, the Silvia has been marketed as the 200SX or 240SX, with some export versions sold under the Datsun brand. The name “Silvia” comes from Sylvia, the name of a nymph who served Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and chastity. In Latin, the name also means forest.

There’s no denying that the S15 is one of the best-looking Japanese cars ever produced. With a great powertrain and excellent handling bundled into a small, lightweight chassis, a few simple upgrades can turn this into a high-performance vehicle. While this was not what the Nissan founders had in mind for the Silvia, it became the most well-known vehicle used for the sport of drifting. The driving position has been ergonomically designed to allow for faster execution of driving controls and a seating posture that allows for minimal fatigue while driving. The instrumentation is organized with a large tachometer in the centre of the cluster.

Why Would You Need an Upgraded Clutch?

With any power modifications installation of an upgraded clutch should be considered. You’ll get a performance boost as well as unique, race-inspired shifting that sets your car apart from every other stock version on the road. Performance clutches hold higher torque capacity with better engagement and faster shifting.

The Mantic Stages Clutch System comes in a variety of configurations:

Stage 1 – This kit is developed primarily for the street performance niche, with more torque capability and better heat dispersion than the OE. The organic clutch disc has a high torque capacity cover, SG Iron ER² grooved pressure plate, and SG Iron ER² grooved pressure plate.
Stage 2 – A combination of organic and cerametallic friction components boost torque capacity while maintaining excellent driveability. As a result, the torque capacity is greater than that of a stage 1 kit, and the drivability is better to that of a stage 3 kit. The stage 2 package includes a high torque capacity cover assembly as well as a Spheroidal Graphite (SG Iron) casting with ER². Maximum strength and torque capabilities are provided by this technology. Organic friction material is used on the ER² pressure plate side of the clutch disc, whereas cerametallic friction material is used on the flywheel side.
Stage 3 – Performance Clutch Systems for street use require increased torque capacity while retaining good pedal feel with fine modulation control. These characteristics inevitably increase heat which reduces service life. So the ideal performance clutch system for the street must also have improved heat dissipation. Mantic Stage 3 clutch kits feature a 20% increase (over original equipment) in clamp load for increased torque capacity. Approximately 300% stronger than a standard casting this material (sometimes referred to as an Anti Burst casting) not only increases strength by up to 3 times, it also improves heat dispersion. To insure that the clutch system performs at maximum efficiency and that no unwanted vibration is generated as the cover spins, all Mantic Stage cover assemblies undergo a 2 stage balancing process. The Torque Capacity of a Clutch Plate can be increased by using exotic cerametallic friction material featuring a higher coefficient of friction. However, cerametallic material reduces pedal feel and results in more sudden clutch engagement, reducing street driveability. Mantic Stage 3 Clutch Kits feature cerametallic friction material on both sides of the clutch plate. This results in a strong torque capacity increase compared with Stage 2 – but reduced street driveability. Stage 3 kits include cushioned segments and a sprung hub to maintain a reasonable level of street drivability.
Stage 4 – Capable of handling a lot of torque, this system isn’t intended for street use. The cover assembly has a high torque capacity, an SG Iron pressure plate, and a sprung center cerametallic disc.
Stage 5 – Our most aggressive single disc application, is intended specifically for track and motorsport applications. The stage 5 kit includes a high torque capacity cover assembly with an SG iron burst-proof pressure plate, as well as a rigid hub and undamaged Cerametallic Clutch Disc.

Mantic Stage Series Mantic Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kit cover assemblies feature the patented ER² Groove Design, which is a unique pattern CNC machined on the friction face of the pressure plate. This groove has been specifically designed to increase the Mean Effective Radius of the pressure place and assist in heat dissipation. The increase in the Mean Effective Radius of the cover assembly gives a significant increase in the torque capacity.
