Default Need advice on Clutch & Flywheel

Clutch is gone. I am planning to get both stock clutch kit and flywheel replaced with RPS flywheel and JWT clutch kit, but I do not know if they actually will work togather. Anyone knows that? Where I can get a good deal?

I have heard good feedback on RPS flywheel. My G only has 250whp,I do not need the clutch that can hold a lot of power,just slightly better than stock one is enough for me, but I do need a quite and light-weight flywheel.

we use and recommend the ACT clutch and their flywheel as well - to date, the quietest flywheel we've used

Are you staying with the stock pressure plate? Or are you going with the ACT clutch/pressure plate combo as well?

there wouldn't really be much point to using a stock pressure plate with an aftermarket disk

We have the combos listed on our site - I'd personally go for the ACT Heavy Duty clutch + Prolight flywheel - holds gobs of torque, very easy to drive, one piece billet chromoly flywheel. The clutch includes the throw out bearing and uses a full radius, organic disk, so it is easy to drive, and requires no heat to be built up in order for it to hold full torque

Still have no idea which combo I should get. I personally drove my friend's 350Z with JWT combo,no chattering at all,but many people did tell me the combo does chatter.Damn,I got confused. How about Jun's flywheel?

chatter means different things to different people

to some, chatter is the noise the flwheel makes, especially during clutch engagement from idle to about 2500 rpm. In this regard, the JWT is among the loudest flywheels out there.

Others refer to chatter as the amount of "juddering" the car does when engaging first gear from a dead stop. If this is what you are referring to, then no, the JWT setup does not exhibit this trait
