Two of my friends are running this clutch(2g fwd,2g awd)and both of them swear by them although the 2g awd disc did shoot out a spring but fidanza said it was a fluke and gave him a new one and the clutch was over a year old.

Looks a lot like my RPS.

Why would a clutch cause low oil pressure? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
I wouldn't run a fidanza flywheel. I know of some guys who have run them with no issues, but i know of plenty more who have run into all sorts of problems with them. The worst of which being the pressure plate bolt hole threads not holding like they should.

He coupled "low oil pressure" with RPMs, so I think he's referring to stalling when coming off of throttle?

It is an okay setup. I had trouble with a spring popping out of the hub assembly. It was warrantied, and they also changed the design. Driveablitiy was no problem, and the clutch pedal was almost too light haha.

-Were they using a install kit? (ie mitsu auto bolt flange) ...Or just using grade10 hardware tq'd directly into soft alum not made to withstand direct clamping foreces in that way? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
-Which model was this specific to,

Correct.
Research isnt showing the fidanza clutch to be any stronger than its ACT brothern... I think I'll stick to my extreme2600PP and full face disk for this one, At this point i know what to expect from this type of clutch. No drag racing for me in this car, but it'll see some light road racing use one day /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Personally I've decided to never again run a sprung disk of any sort unless the springs are fully enclosed.
Seen and heard of losing the springs way to many times to make it worth the risk.
