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.

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.
