Has anyone found the power/torque limit of one of these? I know the competition model has a rating of 780 ps but that could be conservative. I've have never heard of someone saying 'upgrading to a triple because this can't hold my power'

Rebuild kits are worth about $1,000. Then labour to redo it all. Unless the clutch is $200 it wouldn't be worthwhile IMO.

RHDJapan they are about $800+ delivery for the rebuild kit.

+1 for being an awesome clutch. I have the competition model and couldnt be happier.

Has been behind my 422kw gtr for 2 years now and has had numerous 8000rpm launches and still hasnt missed a beat.

You wont regret buying one

They're $1850 on rhdjapan, add $187 for shipping ($2040 all up).

Although that's no guarantee you won't get strung by import taxes as jesse streeter pointed out to me:Q. Does the final price include VAT or any import tax?

A.

We are a registered company here in Japan and cannot charge these taxes. Please familiarize yourself with your local import rules and regulations to see if there are any other taxes when you get your items delivered to your door.

Catch 22 with the import duty.

1) You can ask them to write a lower value on the import declaration (illegal and customs are not stupid, they have internet too) and say its value is under $1,000

but you always run the risk that it may go missing via shipment and best you can be insured for the lower amount they have valued it at.

or

2) Run the gauntlet, insure it to full amount (very cheap via Japan post) and hope you dont get pinned for taxes.

Import duty will always be a hit and miss affair, basically a 50/50 chance you will have to pay unless its de-valued but if they pick that then item is seized and they will ask you to pay duties they deem are due.

Whatever you do they are brilliant clutches.

ive never paid import duty on anything,have ordered alot of things of value and never paid any extra.

have never asked for any special prices to be put on packages or anything like that

I know there's lots of people who have not paid a thing but there's lots that have got stung but like I said its a hit and miss affair.

Customs are cracking down as more and more people turn to the internet to do their shopping.

How easy things go through depands a hell of a lot how goods are packed or repacked n the first place. E.g nice plain box.

Rhdjapan usually make prices so they are under a grand as the ship alot to Australia

I had nismo clutch and project mu rotors and pads and on the invoice it showed the total to be 64000 yen

So they do help you out

And the price you paid seems right for the comp spec clutch

The other price mentioned seems more likely for the std spec

Product Note:

?Because of the design and manufacturing processes made to create the improved clutch response provided by the sports clutch disc and lightweight flywheel and increased output, it is possible that the transmission or bearings may transmit a rumbling noise, compared to genuine Nissan parts. Transmission or gear noise is particularly likely to occur at idling or when accelerating or decelerating from the area around 2000rpm; however, this has no effect on quality or performance.

?The rattling sound which is characteristic of six-speed manual transmissions, Getrag-equipped vehicles and S15 6-speed manual transmission vehicles, has been proven in actual vehicle testing to be reduced through the use of the G-max.

?Do not use with a big operating cylinder, which may result in a misshift due to insufficient stroke volume.

?Heavy pedal operations will result, due to high pressure settings. Not recommended for general-purpose use.

?To improve the operation of this clutch, please refrain from excessive half-clutch operation (although the clutch does have good half-clutch characteristics).

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
