I have the JWT flywheel still in it's box. Going to try and get it on the car next week...I've been debating for over a month on whether or not to get the clutch as well.

As of now, I'm going to install it with the stock clutch and see what happens. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

i've been daily driving it for 8 months -- it's plenty streetable, you just have to learn how to be a better driver (and it helps A LOT if you put a clutch pedal stop in)

but yeah, it's loud (definitely turns heads!)

how much does a JWT flywheel clutch set up cost? what about a tilton? all this plus install.. do either of these severely alter everyday driveability? is it possible to just get a new flywheel and keep OEM clutch?

The JWT Combo is about $820, plus $31 for the flywheel bolts. And you can reuse your throw out bearing and clutch bolts. The Tilton is about $1400 for everything. The instal will vary. Performance Nissan charges about $300. I paid $360 where I live. Since I ran the tilton and now have the JWT, I can tell you that the JWT drives like stock and is quiet. The tilton is a challenge to drive and noisy. If you are looking for an easy to drive setup. the JWT is for you.

My buddy and I, another member here as well, both recently had installed the UR lightwieght flywheel, and are using it with the OEM clutch. There was a noticeable difference in acceleration, out of the hole launches and the quick spooling of the motor. Driveability doesnt seem to suffer one bit. It is a little more noticeable for the sound than OEM. It is not obtrusive by any means, just slightly louder. I have read so much about other clutch chatters from Tilton, JWT etc. I know some of you with the JWT claim that it is not louder than OEM, which I found very hard to believe, due to the fact ANY lightwieght flywheels will produce a chatter. I settled on this one, because they claimed it is not any louder than OEM, not entirely true, but they claim it is the quietest of the bunch. All in all, I am very happy with this setup, engine reacts much quicker.
