Oh and regarding the gtr board, I think do to the fact of not everybody can afford a 100k car, the forum is entirely professional without trolling and politics..

Couldn't agree more.. Be sure to post your install progress...

(if you change anything to do with your clutch, upgrade to the heavy duty CSC at the same time, this is probably one of the most common failures.)

Yeah, I'm buying the Z1 clutch with the ZSpeed HD CSC. I will try to have the clutch already installed before I get home so I can go right into installing the BP kit. I will definitely be posting my install progress as I am sure I will need help somewhere down the line if I get stuck on something.

Buy the 6 puck. After my last round of upgrades I'm beginning to think I didn't buy enough clutch just going with the full face.

Pickup a lighter flywheel and drop the drive train loss a bit more.. I went with a 20lb and you can hardly hear it.. Oh and don't forget to use the motul clutch fluid since it has a much higher flashpoint..

OP. Another benefit is you have guys pushing this kit to new areas. I for one will be seeing what it can do on 15lbs of boost. There will be more and more information as time goes on that you can use regarding the BP kit and its capabilities. You also then have the forum to bounce issues off people. The one off build will not have any of that logged info for you.

You are making the right decision to step into this DIY kit. Looking forward to having you a part of the BP club!

I was thinking of going with ZSpeed steel flywheel, but if I don't get a lighter flywheel, I won't be terribly upset. I do like the the idea of having a 19-20 lb. flywheel. I will see what I get quoted for install cost for clutch, flywheel, and csc. To jwick, I was personally thinking of buying the full face. What problems are you having with the full face? What difference in clutch feel will I have by going 6 puck? I will go do some google research also.

Talking to Z1 is on my to do list. I'm not positive but when I get the car good and hot with some heated runs the clutch seems to slip a little but I'm still experimenting to make sure it's not something else. I only have 400 miles on the upgraded setup.

I would assume the 6 puck can hold more power but will be a little more grabby. If the clutch is gone then I get the Z1 6 puck if it's just a disk swap. If it's pressure plate too I might make the switch to Southbend and get one that holds a lot more power.

In fairness I never expected to be running this level of torque but my setup seems to make a ton of it.

I have the Southbend Stage 3 and I love it. Supposed to hold 600wtq so that should resolve any issues there. I have a lighter flywheel also. It barely chatters, to where you have to listen for it and its just a bit stiffer than stock. Id buy one again if i had to make a choice. But Ive heard nothing but good things from Z1's stuff also.

I have a BP kit and love it. Depending on how much power you are looking for (torque more specifically) you may want to grab a Southbend. I dyno'd at 536whp and 497 wtq and my Z1 6 puck started to fall apart on me. The ceramic on the pucks started to fall off and burn. My pressure plate and flywheel has burn marks on them and are slightly grooved at around 7k miles. Ill probably be going with the OS Giken soon as suggested by Jon Parham. I don't drive my car too often, but when I do, I drive it hard. It could be my driving characteristics that killed it or maybe it was defective, or maybe I simply put too much torque through it. Just throwing that out there!

I am also going with the BP kit. Great decision you seem to have made here. I am very much looking to dive head first into my build.

As for the clutch, I jumped on the Stage 3 Daily from South Bend. It is a full face rated at around 550HP. I will be updating my thoughts on it when I install it over this weekend.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Is that 550 wheel or flywheel horsepower?

I would bet that is 550 flywheel horsepower. Would like to think that it won't slip but that may be wishful thinking.

That might not be enough clutch.

Look just call Joe at zspeed and tell him your power goals and he will tell you exactly what you need so you won't have to waste your money and buy another clutch later..

I just picked up a gtr and I love trolling.

As far as my bp kit goes? I love it! My z is more fun than my gtr.
