I'm guessing it's the clutch disc and the clutch cover plate. I think you can just buy the Nismo clutch disc and use it with the OEM cover plate.

cuz you can usually just replace the clutch disc by itself than the pressure plate when u need to change it..

When staying NA is the Nismo clutch disc the best to use? (is it the quickest/lightest setup)

Nismo is around 23 pounds... if your going to go with a lightweight flywheel. You might as well go the lightest.

the one listed on our web site the copper organic blend...

there is also a 3 puck cerametallic clutch disc available from NISMO...

this will hold more HP then the copper organic blend clutch disc. but, you sacrifice easy clutch engaugement... but with more mass behind the flywheel and clutch, it does not stall out as quick as a tilton clutch with a cerametallic disc...

i wouldnt recomend this clutch disc unless running the car as a track / drag or non-daily driven car if NA..

NISMO FLYWHEEL is 23lbs.
JWT FLywheel is 14lbs

NISMO Pressure Plate & Disc is around 21lbs
JWT Pressure plate & disc is around 23lbs...


lightest fully streetable that anyone can drive no problem: NISMO Pressure Plate & Disc and JWT Flywheel. (We are offering a special on this set up this month till the end of the year 2005).

The lightest clutch and flywheel setup is the TILTON. It is 16lbs flywheel and clutch combined...

How much is the special? I was looking into purchasing this combo. Would you suggest the nismo clutch over the JWT?

I used to have Nismo clutch and JWT flywheel setup, but now I'm back to stock.
I'm thinking about getting just Nismo clutch because the stock clutch grabs
so weak.
Would Nismo clutch work well with stock flywheel?

ALong: I see no reason why the NISMO Clutch Disc will not work with the OEM Pressure plate... But dont expect too much of a performance difference... The hub is not sprung on the NISMO so engaugement will be a little quicker...


gsazabi: NISMO Clutch can be used with the stock flyweel no problem...
