Yea they did because the clutch up above started to slip at 140 hp supposedly supposed to hold 280 hp.

I got one for free from another forum member with the purchase of other junk, and I hate it. I dont even drive the car any more cuz of the clutch, (and a dead battery ). it slips and chatters so bad, and my car is just bolt ons. I installed it cuz twas free, and I needed it. I deff wouldn't buy one. my other car has a p11 clutch. love it.

I have the original clutch and PP on my B15. It has 235,000 km on it and it still works. It is only just recently starting to slip and only a tiny bit at that. Original equip. parts FTW!

My comment was a rhetoric as to why in the world people waste money on junk parts regardless or name, quality, craftsmanship (or lack thereof).

The frugality of those that drive a sentra never ceases to amaze me. Maybe it is why I am driving only a 160whp N/A 200SX that has never skipped a beat in 99,000 miles and seven to eight years. I have skimped out and bought crap before and it becomes a pain in the ass.

I had bought an ACT street/strip clucth kit a few years ago and it broke the same way. The clutch has less than 1000 miles on it and I was still breaking it in. When I pulled out the pressure plate...all I heard was like coins being dropped. All the springs came off, i couldnt understand it. After that I bought an EXEDY OEM replacement clutch front EBAY $125 for the whole kit...lasted me 2 years and my car has a GTiR swap with an HKS turbo

I bought a f1 a year and a few months ago and its holding up great. I had it in a 10:1 UK motor in a NX and then put it on the VE in my b14. It dosnt hold the 100hp shot of nitrous but sure does well with the 75.

Well I'm glad to see someone is happy with their purchase. One good clutch out of 30 clutches isn't a good enough turnout ratio to purchase this setup though. The biggest thing that makes me upset D is that the clutch didn't even make it past the break in period.
