Not only is the JWT combo lighter (clutch and flywheel) but like Tony said you only have to replace a surface disk on the JWT flywheel when it wears down and the JWT clutch has a higher clamping force than the Nismo clutch ... aka more HP/TQ without slipping. I can't see any advantage to the Nismo, unless it was smoother or quieter, neither of which seems to be true according to what people are saying (like Tony). Nismo does cost more (about $200), if you are trying to impress? with how much you spent? heh

Sorry to be a party pooper...

NISMO FLYWHEEL = 23lbs
JWT FLYWHEEL = 14lbs

JWT Clutch (pressure plate and disc) I dont remember the actual weight but it is 2lbs heavier then the NISMO Clutch (Pressure plate & disc)

The lightest of the two is JWT flywheel with NISMO Pressure plate and disc...

Down side... NISMO Clutch wont hold as much HP / TQ as the JWT...

Staying NA and want a no-thoughts clutch then go JWT Fly / NISMO Clutch...
