Default Clutch Recommendation

Hey guys I have an 03 350z full bolt on tuned. I have about 86k miles on the car. I'm replacing the clutch, I'm debating using a brand new stock clutch with a lightweight flywheel from Exedy or jwt? Could that work? I don't track it I daily the car and end up pushing the car a lot.
Thanks

There are countless threads covering this endless debate…

I have have the JWT combo. I don't track my Z but drive spirited occasionally. The JWT has a nice bite, stronger than the oem. As far as light weight flywheels are concerned. Do some research, there are a few options. If chatter annoys you then you'll just have to get over that.

Nope .. Just installed mine. Just like TuckerE36 said^^ chatter which prob won't be that bad for you. Since your coming from the dual mass flywheel, which absorbs this noise,to a light weight flywheel you will notice "chatter". It's a bunch of science involved. Will rev up faster. Might have to get use to taking off a little. But other than that you'll love it. Trust me I'm a Doctor.

Just to clarify for you, if you go with the JWT clutch, you will also need their flywheel or a similar design. The JWT features a solid flywheel with a sprung-hub clutch. The stock Nissan equipment features a dual-mass flywheel and a solid-hub clutch. As far as I know you don't want to mix 'n' match.
