I'm probably close to 80hp+ over stock, so I am not surprised. My Sentra stock clutch held up pretty good to 7 lbs.

Custom 4 puck ceramic being made now, hoping to have it in maybe 2 weeks. Sadly, they don't make anything aftermarket for this transmission.

This is when this forum is at its best. When people discuss, disagree, learn from each other, and continue on all while being respectful and open-minded.

Thanks. Can't wait to lower it a little more on new wheels. Looks so blah on the stock wheels right now.

Engine can probably handle 350hp, but it was never meant to be upgraded. I mean 99% of Juke owners are 100% stock and always will be. Nissan fitted a clutch in the car that could handle stock power + 10% for good measure/warranty reasons. That's the drawback unfortunately as Bates has learned/known.

Tell me about it, but you have to pay to play, but I have made some pretty good progress so far in a year.
