Nismo Pilot Bushing
Just ordered these bushing. Does anyone have these bushing on their car. What is the difference between these and the OEM version? Does it really shift better? What is your experience?

:good question.. I just changed my clutch with a friend.. Actually he did it and I helped.. But yea Id like to know the difference.. The oem pilot bearing is a ***** to get out.. Actually couldnt get it out if we tried.....
Most nissan dealerships dont carry the nismo bearing.. Oh and its a bearing.. Not bushing... Bushings are polyurethane and flexible FYI..

I already have the throwout bearing for my Nismo Clutch, i just needed this part to complete the setup since it is recommended to replace while the clutch is out. Just need some more info just in case i have the wrong part.

The price that I sell both the OEM and the Nismo I tell people to get the nismo since it is a roller type and be done with it.Might as well go with one that is better than oem.

Cool.. Thanks.. After closing up the tranny.. I felt the OEM bearing didnt deserve to be with all the nismo goodies......
But I had no choice as the stealership had none in stock nor did they carry or have a part number..

Just got my car back from Zcar. I still need to break in the clutch even though it was used for 900 miles. Flywheel sound like a cement around2k-2.5k. I think its normal for JWT flywheels and aftermarket clutch. It defnitely grabs better and harder than stock, but nowhere near the ACT and other clutches that grabs like crazy. Its very driveable and forgiving. Definitely a plus in my book...Nismo clutch and JWT flywheel
