From Japan, probably the first to have...
As are most, I'm very interested in cost and chatter.
My OEM dual-mass flywheel is chattering enough now (5K miles) that I had just decided to stick with the NISMO flywheel afterall. Was thinking of dropping the car off this afternoon, but I think I'll push it off a week or so. Get that thing installed. Lots of people want to know!

That clutch looks nice, does anyone know what the ballpark price range we should expect from this clutch? I don't really have chatter on my G but the engagement into 1st and from 1st to 2nd isn't as smooth as I want it to be without actually focusing on a soft transition.

price is around $12xx($200 being the cost of EMS shipping delivery within a week!) from Japan. T
Just picked the car up.
smoothest clutch I've driven to date. No idea why but it makes shifting easy too. Engagement is silky smooth but I adjusted it too low so I'm gonna have to have it readjusted.
Because the flywheel is integrated I have had no ways of weighing the flywheel alone. But the entire combo was 14.9 KG. It did not feel any harder to rev than my previous JUN flywheel.
The chatter is completely gone at idle thanks to the orthogonally placed springs between the plates that you see in the pic(silent type).
If you lug the gears at 2k rpm yes there is still some noise. but the range of rpm when the noise occurs is really small. like 1.9-2k rpm.
I did prefer the harsh engagement of the nismo clutch though but thats just me. The pedal is close or maybe softer than stock...I don't remember because the nismo I had before is @#$#@ stiff.
That's all I can say for now.. gotta pick up to GF and head off to ZCG for clutch stroke adjustment.
edit: all those 1-2 shifts that are notchy, say bye bye to them.
One thing I have to add, according to Rob because of the design of the clutch/flywheel the sound when you turn the key to ignite the engine. It is alot higher pitched... I have no idea why but it strikes me as odd but very unique. Can anyone explain this?
