that will be almost enough to cover the labor needed to install and remove the clutch...

Tilton 2 disc cerametallic will hold 690

I said install and remove...

because the clutch you buy for $500 to handle that much power will cost you more to install and then remove when it doesnt hold...

for 500 ft/lbs tq atlesat its going to be a little more then $500 for only the part...

JWT clutch wont hold that much power and is $420

It will hold close to it.. but not 500 ft/lbs...

I dont know of any clutch that will hold that power short of a twin disk

ACT is your best bet IMHO for an affordable, reliable clutch

Hmmm, we should have everyone call around to their local Nissan dealership. And see how much everybody charge. How much do you guys at Performance Nissan charge for this clutch install? I really think $500 is reasonable for a clutch job.
