Took it to AAMCO for $450
They changed the Trans/clutch fluid, installed the fly/clutch/CSC/CMC

Nissan quoted me $500 to do install. I'll prob go that route. Self install of turbo kit though.....

Right on. Clutch is the only thing I farmed out. Allowed it to be broken in completely when the kit went on. I literally loaded the base map and hit the freeway

Clutch job is actually pretty easy.you just need the right sockets, stars and torque wrench. Get the car as high as you can and it's not so bad.

Does that set up feel good on a daily drive and hold the power. What are the power lvl's that it will hold? Sorry for no update, work....

As long as you go with a full face single disk, I expect most of these clutches to drive the same. Stiffer than OEM for sure but not an on/off switch like a puck or multi-disk. I run the Z1 full face and lightweight flywheel. I notice nothing different than stock except the resistance pressure. Oh and it's noisy. Think 80's F250 pickup truck.

Doesn't the puck clutches hold more power though?

That's not necessarily true, going pucked or non is more of a question of what you're using the car for, launching vs daily driving vs road course driving. Many non-pucked clutches will hold well over 600whp, but you start to consider going into a twin disc or a triple as you near 1000whp.

Thought about getting the z1 six puck clutch vs their full race for such purpose. That or the south bend OFE endurance clutch.

I've not seen any issues with my Z1 to date but I'd guess I'm at the border of allowable power. I ran it at 465wtq for a year with no issues. My current tune is only 440wtq.

Stupid question time: on the turbocharger, the vacuum port on the charge side. Is it utilized? Why not use that as the vacuum source for the BOV? It's a closer run than to the UIM.


EDIT: I meant to say BOV and not waste gate.

I wondered about this sane question during my installation. I think it's just more accurate and closer to the engine block itself that's why the instructions say to tap the intake manifold.

The reason for this is that you would have lower IM pressure. There is always a pressure drop across the system (piping and intercooler), and by taking the lines to the compressor cover, (for example) a 9psi spring may yield only 7psi at the manifold.

Since wastegates don't need vacuum and only operate by pressure, the absolute best source for the pressure is just before the TB...which is where the nipple is located on each one of these kits.

Shoot. I meant the BOV.... Instead of tapping the IM, why not urilize that as vacuum source.
