this kit?

http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/cus...asp?PartID=454

PART NUMBER: L3503-NC000

PART DESCRIPTION:
350Z / G35 HIGH CLAMPING FORCE CLUTCH SET. 1200KG clamping force and a smooth organic disc makes this the best choice for street / track 350Z-G35 including boosted cars! This clutch set also works on some other JWT specific flywheels.

PRICE: $485.00

I can get this for $399 locally, and a good price on the install...

Part of the issue is we must run a Nismo or OEM Flywheel...only the Clutch & PP are open...I have already ordered the Nismo Flywheel...

I have had good success with the JWT clutch you referred to. My NISMO FW is going in this week!

Not yet....taking the car to Jason Plante @ Balanced Performance today to install the new clutch/flywheel and new transmission. Jason will also perfom my NASA annual Tech Inspection and Dyno test. Then I should be good-to-go for the June Jam.
WOW...this has been a long and expensive year to get converted 100% to Spec Z configuration.

BIG THNX TO YOUR TEAMS HELP!!!!!!!!!!

BTW: I ended up going with a Stage 2 "Competion Clutch" based on Jason's recommendations. This is a full-faced clutch disc....looks like a stock unit.

Cost?

I just threw my used stock one back in to pinch the costs some. This was getting out of hand. NISMO FW ain't cheap!

FYI - A question was asked on the NASA forums about whether or not you can replace the exhaust manifolds with a header.

Factory exhaust manifolds are required. That will be corrected in the next rules revision. If there's not a revision out by Nationals then a Tech Bulletin will be issued.

Sorry guys, but I think I am going to back out of my plans for Spec Z. But I am still going to watch it mature.
