Default So i bought the JWT clutch/flywheel, should i.....

I have the JWT clutch and flywheel. I also got the agency power clutch line, Redline mt90 GL4 tranny oil, redline GL5 differential oil.

Should i get the Nismo Pilotbearing? Another Z owner said something about replacing with a new Clutch slave cylinder too.

I really want to get all the stuff i need since everything will be out for install. I want to replace things that might get old or that breaks on me now. Can anyone tell me what other things i should get with ballpark prices and how it will improve. thanks.

btw, not sure if the flywheel bolts are reusable on the 350z. My old car, each bolt retailed at the dealer for 10 bucks each. Any input on this? thanks.

I had my JWT clutch/flywheel installed not too long ago, I didnt have to replace any bolts or anything. A new pilot and release bearing came with the combo.

Do the braided clutch lines help a lot?

In my case, the braided, kevlar-coated clutch line was put in (along with hi-temp fluid) after boiling the clutch fluid twice at the Tail of the Dragon 2 years ago. Hasn't happened once since the change! I also used heat wrap on the additional metal clutch line that goes up to the reservoir (runs pretty close to my Crawford headers).

I don't see why not. Got my JWT Combo installed by the dealer and they did not replace them.
