I've had three different combinations and the best to date has been the JWT Clutch with the JWT Flywheel. Don't use the JWT Flywheel with a "stage 3 or higher clutch" or you will ruin your flywheel if you come off the line with a large shot.

Tilton clutches are very nice. I drove Jason's car and that clutch will handle a beating Even in full street form.
our race 350zs use the racing triple plate clutches.

cheaper than tilton, should drive like stock too for the most part.,
We offer clutch setups for pretty much any situation.

sgp recommended an rps max w/ street plate and a jwt flywheel. i couldn't find a z33 rps clutch on their site though; do they mean the z32 one? i'm not sure if this thread should have been moved either, since i plan on doin a 50-75 shot.

I know money is your bane, and I saw that website with the 769 deal also, but in the end went with performance nissan, a dealer that I knew would deliver as promised, and did!. That website will probably make up the difference in the shipping, because the margin just isn't there.

I haven't driven mine yet, its getting a heart transplant today, and they are installing it at the same time.
