Man I hope these aren't too expensive... One question I have (although it could have been asked before) Isn't the transmission going to need a retune to deal with the more grippy clutches? I would assume it would try and grab like stock, then proceed to stall out because it doesn't slip them like it is used to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, just wondering.

Interesting. How many do you have in testing? How did you test them? Dyno proven? What type of dyno? Any and all info on the testing is much appreciated. And, will there be installation instructions?

It is my understanding that you are using a company from Australia for your GT-R clutchpacks. Why do these not hold as much as the GT-R?

I cant wait to see how they hold up to real power & hopefully not find a new weak point in these sst transmissions. It would be nice if all we have to do is install clutch packs and a new cooler to handle some real power. 450 WHP would be nice.

Thanks for all of the hard work and R&D on the MR's

Bump for more info on this kit. How did Voodoo's car work out? My main concern is how the SST will react to the new clutch kit without updated software.

Im wondering the same thing! That would be very convenient as I live in Seattle..

I would love to have this clutch pack as well as the trans cooler. Im one of the unlucky few who had their sst wig out already and had to get it replaced by the dealer. The gears were slipping and then the tcu would only let me shift into odd gears, so this whole thing made me very weary about modding. but these clutches would definitely put my mind to rest!
